Went 4-1 with my Gruul Stomp deck tonight! Third place with pulls of {Medomai the Ageless}, {Ashen Rider}, {Xenagos, the Reveler}, and {Nighthowler} from my prize packs! :D My only loss was to a RDW, which  not upset about because they're so lame lol. So YAY!!!!

Sidenote: This was my first time competing in a Standard tournament. Fun stuff!

Nope! I run 4 in my decks, so that's my 6th Xenagos. I have two for trade! :))

That's awesome, I love gruul it's so much fun to play, btw how do you view your trade binder so I can see if I have anything you would want to trade for your Xenagos? Sort of new so I haven't fully gotten the run around on this app yet lol

Edahlan - Lady Grixis has her binder posted on another website. I'm sure she'll give ya the link. Otherwise it would be in her profile page. You could get there by clicking the pic under her name.

Congratz on the victory and the pulls LG! I plan on running Gruul soon.

LadyGrixis

Thank you! The Mistcutter & the Stormbreath really did most of the work, and the Mortars & Ruric Thar cleaned up around the edges when things got messy :)

Awesome deck!! But no love for {Domri Rade}? 😢

I may still Sideboard him, but he just really doesn't run fast enough or work with as much synergy as Xenagos & Garruk do. I can explode mana and tokens with Xeny and snatch up all of my Stormbreaths and Mistcutters with Garruk. And believe me, I've playtested the MESS out of this deck to make sure that the Planeswalkers in it are helpful/worthy of being a part of the deck.

Edahlan

Thanks for all the helpful info guys and gals :)

True but a T2 Domri leads into the draw that you need to replenish your hand IMO. Like Garruk obviously is better at draw but he's a 6 drop so he's relatively slow even with your ramp. Anyways just my opinion.

And I bet it's awesome for you to see that your preparation paid off!!

LadyGrixis

Edahlan, just send me a private message if you have any questions or see anything you like :) I'll be happy to help as best I can!

To each their own. By turn 3, I can have most anything I need out and crashing around. I'm just so happy with this deck that I could cry.
