Gruul

Gruul spellslinger that earthbends a land with every spell, building an army of hasty land creatures that keep coming back.

Each spell you cast makes Toph earthbend 1: a land you control becomes a 0/0 haste creature with a +1/+1 counter, and when it dies or is exiled it returns to the battlefield tapped. A Lesson adds an extra counter. When Toph enters, you may discard a card to return an instant or sorcery from your graveyard. The deck casts many cheap spells, piles counters on its land creatures and attacks with lands that are hard to remove for good.

In the recorded games, Toph played like a counters and landfall deck. Hardened Scales and Branching Evolution grew the animated lands faster, and Mosswort Bridge rewarded the big board. The discard trigger got back key spells, and Lessons made the lands bigger. With only nine games recorded, there's not much to go on, and it is unclear how the deck usually closed games beyond attacking with large lands. One clear weakness showed up: static effects that shrink creatures, such as Elesh Norn, killed the small land creatures right away.

How it feels to play against

Mildly Annoying Some frustrating moments but still fun.
