Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Gruul aggro-combo list led by Ruby, Daring Tracker. Ruby provides immediate mana acceleration and early aggression from the command zone. Supported by an elite fast mana package including Chrome Mox, Mana Vault, and Sol Ring, the deck rapidly ramps into overwhelming midrange threats and game-ending damage multipliers. Its primary game plan uses scaling powerhouses like Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Fiery Emancipation, and Terror of the Peaks to trample over opposing defenses, while backing up combat lines with compact infinite combos such as Food Chain plus Squee, the Immortal and Aggravated Assault plus Bear Umbra. The deck protects its proactive plays using uncounterability tools like Hexing Squelcher and Domri, Anarch of Bolas alongside targeted red interaction. It creates a lethal board presence by Turn 5 and regularly eliminates all three opponents by Turn 6.
