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.

TypicalTimmy you know... until they print better punishers with upside :) . What I want = more punishers that are difficult to remove & don't completely stop actions, but cause repetitive actions to have harsher consequences or scaling consequences. But, they also need an upside to the player casting them, otherwise they are simply a do-nothing punisher that wasted a card slot or waits to eat removal from the affected player. I think of how effectively I've used crappy Cindervines & that has the upside of removal attached if it is about to be targeted.

throw in some Boseiju, Who Endures or some Cindervines for the anti artifact or enchantment cards.

It gets complicated. Some of those cards are BS stax, where a line of gameplay is completely stopped, don't like Drannith Magistrate, Narset, Parter of Veils isn't terrible on her own, she was just a mistake considering wheels. Hullbreacher was a gamewarping terrible idea, stax & hard ramp in {U}. Opposition Agent has never bothered me in the slightest, a strong slap for a strong circumstantial effect... It may even be a dead card some games. Some of that listed stuff is hard-stax, different from punishment in saying: "you cannot" vs "you CAN, for a price". If you can't tell I am a big fan of Cindervines, Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, things like aristocrats where you make board wipes into a hard decision.... You can, but do you want to?

Haha, honestly fair enough, I invested in a set of them recently for my modern zombie deck, works super well. Your list looks pretty tight anyway, so cutting 4 cards for the vials would be hard.

I love playing tribal, and I think if I get bored of zombies I would def do werewolves next. Do you play this at modern nights? and if so what would the sideboard look like? I'd guess like Full Moon's Rise , Cindervines , perhaps Ground Seal or something that hates on graveyards Weathered Runestone
