Imagine a goblin having the Audacity to come to your picnic and be a Picnic Ruiner.

Would attacking for 8 on turn three be enough to ruin your picnic? What about if we got a little Monstrous Rage involved and turned it up to 14?

Unbridled Gruul aggression hasn't been a thing in Standard for a while... until now!

This is probably the most exciting and fun deck I've seen in Standard in a long time.

You've got Monastery Swiftspear and Kumano Faces Kakkazan // Etching of Kumano, so you know you've got the quick starts on lockdown, but once you slip in this sort of pseudo-prowess theme with the pump spells, you've got a deck that can go huge very quickly, but also play a bit of a longer game as needed with Questing Druid and a few heavy hitters like Migloz, Maze Crusher. Even better is that this is a Gruul deck that can beat Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, either by just attacking through it or killing it straight up with Witchstalker Frenzy.

If you've been sad that Standard has been Gruul-less for so long, now is your time to shine!
