God of Monsters
An update to my Gruul Monsters list. I got tired of my mediocre removal (ie. only Mizzium Mortars) and my dread at facing down Desecration Demon and Master of Waves. I was worried for a while about excluding Ghor-Clan Rampager from the list, but I'm not sure Jund is the shell for him. Straight Gruul? Sure. But probably not here. I think Reaper of the Wilds is more where we want to be...AND HE IS!!!
Reaper is SO GOOD. The amount of good removal in this format is staggering. And the amount of times creatures die? Even better. You get to scry so much! As it was put:
Supreme Verdict. "Resolve all my Reaper scry triggers." *Scry until I hit a Stormbreath Dragon* "Cast Stormbreath Dragon." *dragon flaps wings* "Hit you."
This variant of the Monsters deck has much better removal, and then has a much better post-board game against UW Control or Mono Black/Mono Blue.
