Gruul (R/G) Budget Aggro

Modern Aggro RG (Gruul)

Prundocoptero


Sideboard


Hey there! I'm just sharing a casual gruul aggro deck and also asking your opining and thoughs about the deck! Let me just introduce you to the cards:

Burning-Tree Emissary - This card is awsome, it is this deck's all star. Drop it in turn 2 with another 2 drop for massive early board presence.

Experiment One - Just a turn one 1/1... aaaaaand it's 3/3. This card is the best you get in turn one. It's going to get big, especially if you have a Burning-Tree Emissary + something in the next turn. If it's enough turns in your board, killing him would be a waste of resource with his regeneration ability.

Flinthoof Boar - Pretty good card. If you got a mountain (which you'll have most of the time) he is good on his own. If you need that late game push, haste him. Get him in turn 2 with a Burning-Tree for a nice tempo advantage.

Stormblood Berserker - The best (1)(R) I could find for this deck. Having 3 power or toughness is really important to buff our Experiment One after playing a Burning-Tree Emissary. His dodge skill can prove quite an asset with our Ghor-Clan Rampager and Giant Growth buffs in the late game.

Ghor-Clan Rampager - oh boy. oooh boy. It's the ultimate blocker removal. It's the ultimate lethal pusher. It's Ghor-Clan Rampager. This is the best bloodrush in the game. The Rampager will put a lot of your enemies down and drive your opponents mad. If you really need a creature, he will also serve you as a crappy 4 drop, which is good.

Fanatic of Xenagos - WTF is this theros guy doing here? Well, he's a pretty drop with ou without his tribute, so you can get a solid drop for 3 mana. If you get a better 3-drop ideia, please comment!

Boggart Ram-Gang - Your opponent is going to need a bigger gate! This guy can push for damage and also weak the enemy blockers. He's also a solid drop, but i'm open to ideias.

Boartusk Liege - He's a god in this deck. He makes a board presence buffing your allies (and also giving +2/+2 for your gruul cards). Sometimes he is a win-more card, but he will often turn the side of the battle for you.

Rakdos Cackler - This little demon is a very weak 1 drop, but he'll do the job. I'm in the need to switch for another 1 drop, but I've got no ideias. Any leads?

Lightning Strike - If you have bolt, just put bolt.

Giant Growth - Rancor should be a better card, but giant growth does a god job here. Just play it for instant lethal or to reach someone's thoughness without losing your creature.

Gruul Guildgate - I have just one Stomping Ground, but if you add +1 mountain and +1 forest instead of those 2 nonbasic lands, you should be all right.

This deck is pretty neat and it is a good start to new players, but I'm looking to improve it. If you have good ideias (budget ideias are very welcome here), I'm going to love them. I could also use leads on making a budget side. Ancient Grudge is your artifact hate tech, Back to Nature can deal with auras and is pretty neat since we do not own any enchantments, Burning-Tree Shaman shall deal with some annoying cards + it's a good body. Mistcutter Hydra shall deal with blue counters and Electrickery will deal with those 1/1 bastards. Gruul Charm can be pretty neat against blockers and it's a versatile card. Dismember is one good reliable remover too. I'm not sure about the side and I could really use some help.
