Fun looking deck!! Some thoughts:

• 18 lands seems very low for a deck needing to play a 4-drop asap to have a path to victory. I’d suggest going to 22 as a minimum, even with the mana dorks.

• the buff spells like Scale Up and Mutagenic Growth feel more cute-than-useful. The math almost always works that they’d be better-off as more damage-dealing spells.

• Lava Dart should definitely be a playset, that is the strongest card you have once Ojer is in play.

• I would suggest adding both Wrenn and Six, and Malevolent Rumble. W&6 helps ramp you early game, and pings for 4 once Ojer arrives. Rumble gives you decent odds to find a Ojer if its not in hand, potentially puts some Lava Dart into your grave for later abuse, and helps ramp you for casting Ojer early.

• Untimely Malfunction and Cindervines feel like they should be sideboard cards. I also feel like Screaming Nemesis doesn’t do enough here and would be better-off removed so you can run playsets of Ojer, Hierarch, and Needlehead.

I have replaced Destructive Revelry with Golgari Guildmage, because Cindervines is superior to DR in most situations, and, by making that replacement, I have given this both an additional sacrifice outlet and an additional source of creature recursion, which is very nice.

griffstick on What is Gruul to you?

Grull cards that scream gruul to me are

Creatures

• Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
• Borborygmos Enraged
• Omnath, Locus of Rage
• Xenagos, God of Revels
• Gruul Ragebeast
• Rubblehulk
• Mina and Denn, Wildborn
• Halana and Alena, Partners

Enchantment / artifact

• Shadow in the Warp
• Cindervines
• Gruul War Chant
• Rhythm of the Wild
• Mage Slayer

The rest

• Xenagos, the Reveler
• Klauth's Will
• Destructive Revelry
• Decimate
• Hull Breach
• Contested Cliffs
• Kessig Wolf Run

These are the most "gruul" cards with both red and green (only red and green) in it, in my opinion.

The other thing I would attribute to Gruul is anti-creature hate. Besides punisher cards like Cindervines, it is the color pair of "can't be countered" threats.

I noticed you only have a couple of artifact/enchantment hate cards. May I suggest adding Cindervines?

As much as I understand you don't want to add more green, Perhaps maybe make an exception for adding Rot Wolf? Not for the infect, but for the card draw it will bring. Another exception would be Ram Through. It does deal direct damage to a creature and offers excess damage. I would also suggest Archetype of Aggression for trample.

A card you should strongly consider is Everlasting Torment for indestructible creatures.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Punisher's with upside is not much for power creep, Cindervines is not exactly a powerhouse. Descent into Avernus is not too contentious. Liesa, Shroud of Dusk isn't overpowering the format. A little creativity on our groupslug/punishers is all I'm asking for. If you are looking for a "fair" way to punish storm-outs & solitaire play - tacking small advantage onto those "policing chip dmg" is a relatively lightly explored avenue. Roiling Vortex was a good attempt, except the "benefit" doesn't really put the caster ahead any & it still sits there until it eats removal on the player that it affects most. If a whole plethora of removal pieces can cantrip, I would think a few punishers could, at the very least, cantrip or have a more spicy benefit.

Stax with upside (as being disputed here) is much more contentious than cards that still allow options, just make you bleed a little for that decision.
