Gruul Aggro is DESTROYING RANK! (MTG Arena) Deck Tech

[@swee_3333]

Joey: There will be zero edits in this video also Joey: *cuts to gameplay* Me: *BrUh*

[@PsychoDiesel48]

Dude. That was future Joey Moss talking to us. Unless that's the joke then fair enough XD

[@gerard2383]

Just a small tip. Try to hold on to once upon a time as long as you can before you play it. I will usually wait until after my draw. As if i want a land i might just draw it and then i can use the once upon a time to dig for something different.

[@thegrapejuiceguys668]

This is a very good deck. Also very good editing skills

[@ShinDongJi]

That's one big Gingerbread man smashing through! A big thanks Man for making this video and also to the one who shared it. Definitely tweaking my Gruul and trying this out.

[@novrdd]

I rather die against this Gruul aggro rather than any of those annoying Blue variant decks, like Simic Flash, Esper Control, Bant or Sultai Gate.

[@novrdd]

@Cpt Dinosaur I just scoop when they countered my spell for 3rd time in a row.

[@MrBolyo1]

Feel you brother

[@BoneCK15]

I appreciate you only showing the memey wins for the most part. I can grind out my own boring losses on my own time.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Right!!! Won't be doing this again

[@Gathxd]

Started playing mtg arena last month and managed to reach mythic top 200 with this deck. Cheers

[@michaelnoel1852]

This Deck was Legit man.... Even in tight Spots it came thru........ I should’ve used a deck like this In my 12 Win Event.........

[@Sentient.A.I.]

Agree I used the jeskai fae fires and only got 3 wins out of that.

[@sunnysunny7199]

I used Dimir Opponent mill deck and it was 2 slow... got rekt by calvacade red deck twice... 0/3.

[@pyrometheus2]

@@sunnysunny7199 i used calvacade and only got 2 wins lol. got murdered by 2 green stompy decks and nissa she whio shakes the world

[@Asphyxious666]

Dude...you weren't lying haha its been a blast thanks

[@KryptaKnight777]

I won my FNM with a couple ginger bread man and a couple of those green common equip cards...so quick...so good!

[@Harv88]

Would of been nice if this was up in the a.m before the 12 win event was over or before i picked a different deck to play in the event :D, playing abzan wolves i went 1-2, via non interactive flame PW decks.

[@kylexu3621]

i played one game with abzan wolves and lost to a scummy mono red deck, so i said thats fine and i got to 10 wins with simic flash.

[@maxmoschke]

Kicked in Standart Cascade. SO much fun Playing this. I lost like 2 out of 10 matches. I only played that long for fun. And it was fun playing this deck.

[@sickofthis368]

1:04:00 You could be blocking with the wildwood tracker since it gets +1/+1 for attacking OR blocking.

[@SirPoonga]

Fun deck. It has some weaknesses. Trying to figure out a good sideboard for it. If you don't have the right card at the right time something like Pridemate or flash wolf gets out of control. It needs a hard removal somehow in sideboard, or a deathtouch green creature. The Vraska that makes deathtouch assassins can be cast with just green and can help out against planeswalkers. Though I did just beat someone easily with two mana. Forest, mountain, Gingerbrute, Rosethorn Halberd on Wildwood Tracker (got this out before the Gingerbrute), and a bunch of Domri's Ambush. I miss Field of Ruin, it was good land removal for those pesky special lands. This deck could use that also.

[@doritos-r6]

Joey , check this out for a more aggressive version, its destroying just about everything in my diamond games.

[@theslothforyou]

Really like this deck and i think your right about if you dont know how to play your deck you have a higher chance of losing. its one of my flaws.

[@EtBr1978]

first few games were a drag but once i got a feeling for the deck this thing became litteraly unstopable!

[@djn4sir]

Quick and successful deck there Mossman. I like bigger creatures and would probably have some in my sideboard for MR matchups. Skadoosh!

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Beast sb, if bo3

Man this is so entertaining seeing how you win when we all thought you would lose

[@havanufmtg271]

Great video. I will be running this deck in a couple days and uploading my game play. I hope I perform as well as you.

[@johnnyrocks373]

Thanks Joey :-) Very nice!!

I just got done watching a different video as you posted this hahahaha

[@crazyarab02]

I did like seeing the whole session not just the highlights

[@ericbob5360]

Still can't believe the guy with the food build scooped - rather strange. Great deck though.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

There were a couple matches like that throughout this run. Very strange indeed 🤔

[@dungeonmaster16]

Insert Jojo dio meme: you throught it was mono red at the top but it was me gruul all along!

love your sauce man !SKADOOSH!

Nice deck ! i will try it on paper in my LGS 👍

For the event, ran Mardu Knights for fun, won against mono green, then got smashed by Simic Flash x2. yay

[@ChristiantrospectiveGamer]

Ran Orzhov Aristocrats and won the first two then lost the next two to the Field of the Dead/Golos combo.

what would u replace the once upon a time with?

[@tomljenovicvid61]

How can you have Once upon a time if it's banned

[@uberrod]

Just played this deck Gold Rank 4. 3 losses in a row. Couldn't do anything. Bummer. So very frustrating.

[@themitchmeister6837]

Nice, so do the stomping grounds have to be in there? Like I'm super broke and I dont have any stomping Grounds in my collection...would all basic lands be okay?

[@themitchmeister6837]

Never mind I'll just use some guildgates haha I got plenty of those

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Gates could work but this Deck is all about speed. Stomping Grounds aids speed

[@Possumzz]

This deck needs dreadhorde arcanist in it. Works very well with every instant in the deck.

[@timothynaquin761]

I got a deck i want you to try out how do i get it to you man i have been watching yout play for a good that and love the stuff you come up with and would feel Very priviledged for you to try my build

[@zedek_]

Rosethorn Halberd doesn't work with Season of Growth, right?

[@jokerwild7077]

Is there an updated deck tech for this since the ban of field of the dead?

[@Platinum_Imp]

Any suggestions for sideboard and swapping Once upon a time?

[@JoeyMossBBG]

The two drop that gains you 3 life and put any card in your hand. It's a 2 drop

[@swee_3333]

I would take out 2 Zhurr tah and put 2 questing beast

[@jornvallis8051]

Why not add some Fervent Champions? If you get two in your opening, hand you can do 5 points on your second turn.

[@WitnessedOne]

2 wins in a row for me then 2 losses. terrible draws vs golgari aggro but i almost came back on that one, second one was just a mono red blow out because i was on 3 lands until turn 7.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Tough event

[@R_Beam55]

Skadoosh

[@michaedove3562]

I guess the trick is playing a bunch of commons/uncommons and then you get paired up against other common/uncommon decks that are really bad, eh? I ran into the same thing last night after I made a mostly common/uncommon knight deck and won 6 straight.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Whatever works

[@JimTilson1]

How about a sideboard recommendation for those of us who may play best of three?

[@JoeyMossBBG]

SB should be kept to 3-cmc spells or less. This Deck wants to win fast. Maybe cheap artifact removal and veil of summer. Just some ideas to get you started. Also, couple copies of claim the first born.

[@JimTilson1]

Bad Boy Gaming Thanks for the reply!

[@MrZerged]

Ok who's the wise guy who put domri in this list? What did you sub out?

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Look again

[@jakubvojtko4943]

What about opening some packs and build a deck from cards you've opened, I think it's a good idea for video and I'd like to see it, so here's my tip , Skadoosh

[@gbiscuits]

I've been skadooshing fools with my cheapass gruul deck, it's so good

[@gbiscuits]

I threw sundering stroke in mine for 7 to the face win

[@fungalunicorn8718]

try adding a ihlarg raze boar god I made a gruul deck with him and using the riot enchantment I could do over 20 dmg by turn 5 and win before my opponents knew what hit them

[@vincent-antoinesoucy1872]

35 30, there to remind you math is only for blocker :p

[@kobisjeruk]

I tweaked the decklist based on my card collection and because of reasons. Really wanted to see rosethorn hb works but its like a sorcery that gives +2/+1 because by the time you get to re-equip, who am I kidding, you'll never get to 5 lands and if you do, you're probably losing. I add grumgully aka grumpyboi because hes a facking memer. Jokes aside, I love him and wanted to see him work just as much as I wanted to see rosethorn works and I think he'll fare better. Domri 3 would be better in its place (maybe?) and I intentionally left out the best synergy (growth chamber, barkhide troll) because I feel like keeping the deck hasty is better and you wont have mana to spare for those critters. I also dislike once upon a time. With such low land count, more often than not you'll be digging for lands anyway. coincidentally I also only own 1 copy so theres that. Anyway, heres my list :- 11 Forest (RTR) 270 6 Mountain (MI) 0 4 Stomping Ground (RNA) 259 1 Castle Embereth (ELD) 239 4 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141 4 Gingerbrute (ELD) 219 3 Wildwood Tracker (ELD) 183 4 Zhur-Taa Goblin (RNA) 215 2 Syr Faren, the Hengehammer (ELD) 177 2 Wildborn Preserver (ELD) 182 2 Bonecrusher Giant (ELD) 115 3 Gruul Spellbreaker (RNA) 179 3 Grumgully, the Generous (ELD) 192 2 Questing Beast (ELD) 171 4 Collision // Colossus (RNA) 223 4 Domri's Ambush (WAR) 192 1 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169

I dunno. Maybe it's just my bad Karma. Im 1-4 so far with this deck. Getting mana screwed, only one color land, or just enemy with perfect cards to murder whatever I can bring to bear.

[@weinster666]

Almost every match is a mana screwage

[@DaniMarko]

Why no Shroom Goblin?

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Too slow. Have to win fast. That's like saying to Cavalcade player how come no Drakuseth?. See what I'm saying? The deck wants to win by turn 4/5.

I personally got six wins and then two straight losses I think the event was utter crap after all the advertisement they did you only got to try it one time out of the thousands of people that did it only a handful I've seen that actually 12 wins once again magic has dropped the ball over advertising event and then underperformed this is becoming a common Trend with magic the Gathering
