A deck i compose as a gift for a friends bday. He likes artifact combo/combo decks in generel A LOT... so he most of the times plays some grixis/esper, blue based decks and goes off with his rediculous combos, never really interacting much or even going into the red zone. So i thought it would be a cool gift, to present him with a Gruul Troll (literal Troll) deck, that not only has big creatures to attack with, but does something hidden he will not expect out of it: going infinte with Isochron Scepter + Toymaker + Vitalize and creatures :D (animated mana rocks, but still...)

On that note of animated mana rocks, i think Gruul has some of the best rocks available for this, because all the main rocks have either trample or flying., so even if there are not infinite amounts of them, they can be relevant in normal combat.

As i added some cool stuff, i realised this is pretty combo-ish already if you have the right draw, but since i myself dont combo much, any help and suggestions are appreciated. The combo should still be somewhat camouflaged in the deck!

I have back-up cards for both Toymaker and Vitalize in form of a second combo path in Benefactor's Draught + Isochron Scepter + Karn, the Great Creator .

If Vitalize or Benefactor's Draught are not found or already used, there are some number of value targets for Scepter in form of unasuming spells like Display of Dominance , Mortal's Resolve Noxious Revival or Druid's Deliverance .

Seal of Primordium and Ghirapur AEther Grid can be deployed as an on board removal access/way to win, if creature and/or artifact abilities are shut down.

Esika's Chariot is in itself a nice vehicle to populate one of it's own cat tokens, an Icy Manalith or a Troll token, but it can also act as a fallback to create a new Scepter if Isochron Scepter had to be played imprinting a non-combo spell, as long as we got to make a token with Mirrorworks (not even an imprint is neccessary, just a plain token of Scepter). The same is true for Druid's Deliverance side effect of Populate. I am even dabating adding a Heat Shimmer for such a hidden purpose. Cogwork Assembler has pretty much the same utility: almost any of the artifacts it can copy have massive impact in multiples. Lifecrafter's Beastiary is pure value if amde in the prior going opponents end step, Heartstone , Isochron Scepter or Mirrorworks in multiples can just end the game on the spot.

The preferred method of winning is through combat. Using the great amount of ramp this deck get's one can swing early with big eats like Devasstation Twin, Hellkite Igniter , Feasting Troll King , Terastodon and consorts, or animate lands with Waker of the Wilds for huge X amounts. If combat step is not an option ( Silent Arbiter or similar effects) face is the place for Spikeshot Elder and Fall of the Titans .

(all suggestions should be relatively budgety, i dont want to spennd too much) The list as is is already assembled.
