I purchased the Pioneer Gruul Stompy Challenger deck for myself having never played Pioneer at all. I really liked the creatures in the decklist, but I wanted to add some power, as well as my own touch, to the deck.

Doing some research online, I saw that some people upgraded the deck by adding Embercleave, a card which I am a big fan of. I added my copies in, as well as some lands and creatures, and I've been having fun playing the deck with my friends.

Unfortunately, since I've never played Pioneer, I don't know how powerful the deck actually is in terms of the format and metagame. Is this a strong deck? Are there additional upgrades I could make to tighten things up? I'd like to add strength if possible, but I'm not interested in building Gruul vehicles since that doesn't seem like my jam.

Thank you in advance for your help!
