Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Gruul stompy deck exploits Zilortha, Strength Incarnate to turn high-power, low-toughness beaters into durable threats. The primary strategy ramps early to establish power-matters card draw engines and haste enablers. Once your engine is active, you cast massive trampling creatures such as Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Quartzwood Crasher while Zilortha ensures they survive high combat damage. The deck wins by overwhelming opponents through explosive combat damage amplified by Xenagos, God of Revels, Unnatural Growth, or Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, or by wiping the table directly with Chandra's Ignition.
