Best Gruul Creatures to trigger off Ilharg
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 28, 2019, 1:47 p.m. by Jayph
I have been playing a Ilharg, the Raze-Boar based deck on Arena and it has been super fun. I would like to build one in paper (modern rules) and I have the deck almost built. I am looking for three creatures to add to maximize the Ilharg trigger. I am thinking I would like to keep them to creatures I still would cast even if I don't have Ilharg out but are super good if I do have Ilharg out and attacking. So far I have picked Ghalta, Primal Hunger Dragonlord Atarka Pathrazer of Ulamog Can you guys think of anything better than those three??? Thanks.

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn . it won't get the annihilator trigger, but 15 damage in the air should do the trick. i wouldn't worry too much about being able to hard cast your big creatures. the whole point of the boar is to "cheat" in creatures that are too big to hard cast.
other good creatures to use are anything with an "enters the battlefield" or "leaves the battlefield" trigger, such as Thragtusk which has both.

I mean Griselbrand seems pretty good any of the gear hulks or titans. Wood Elves for the ramp

If you just want big beaters, Atarka, World Render and Balefire Dragon do well. Dragonlord Atarka , too.

I would suggest anything with a insane ETB trigger. Etali, Primal Storm is pretty funny, Ilhag can protect it from any next turn removal. God-Eternal Rhonas ,and Verdurous Gearhulk are hilarious if you want to pump your team. Combustible Gearhulk ’s ETB trigger seems fun too.

Lanzo493: Atarka, World Render wouldn't gain her attack trigger though.

RowdyMagic18: Etali, Primal Storm would not get its attack trigger when put into play with ilharg.

I mean if you want a board wipe on a stick Balefire Dragon is something to consider. Hellkite Tyrant is also pretty good and gives you a win condition too. If you are interested to double the trigger of Ilharg Strionic Resonator is something to consider.

Pathrazer's annihilator trigger does not work.
