How to Upgrade the Gruul Stompy Pioneer Challenger Deck
13,211
Published 2022-11-17
2022 Pioneer Challenger Decks are here! Today we'll be upgrading the Gruul Stompy deck into the top tier meta deck it is designed after. This deck is almost entirely finished out of the box, excusing the mana base, but we still have a lot to talk about the subtleties of different builds, so hopefully this is still useful for you!

Just want to stress that I don't think the vehicle package is absolutely necessary. Reckless Stormseeker is definitely recommended, but you can opt for the aggro deck if you prefer, and I also think it's fine to keep Glorybringer/Chandra if you wish. Also, it's Skysovereign, Consul FLAGship. Not skyship. Got it. :P
-
Proving the power of these Pioneer challenger decks someone took this beast to regionals and did reasonably well
-
Great video man, keep up the great work. I must say, it’s very entertaining to see you trying out decks in arena or just simply playing for a bit. So, keep doing that more often if you wan to.
-
Thanks for the awesome video! I'm planning to buy this deck to get in to pioneer and this is very helpful :)
-
Great, great review. Thank you!
-
Just got back to tabletop MTG and building the Gruul Vehicle Deck for Pioneer Tournaments!
-
Defiler of vigor is a dope add I’ve found, even the new Jaya is a decent 4 drop for turn 3 if done right
-
Questing beast is awsome and fast its a must have maybe a couple great henges and embercleaves💪
-
While they may not be so popular now having those big hasty threats that can come down and attack is nice. Yeah, the Stormseekers do bring that haste to everyone which I guess is why they are played.
-
I would probably replace Chandras with Domri, Anarch of Bolas for under £1, and Sokenzan as a priority given it can unstuck the beast if your 1/1s die. Good video, trying to get my mates to play pioneer will share it around when they pick up their precons.

the only update that i made in this deck is added 4 copies of Fable of the Mirror Breaker 3 Shatterskull Smashing and i removed a copy if ooze in the main. in the mana base i added 3 stomping ground 3 lair of the hydra 2 boseiju at 2 sokenzan so far I am happy
-
Hi, could you make a Pioneer upgrade for this one? Would be great😁
-
I have a question... Is it the Esika's chariot treated as an artifact creature? (I played against a deck that had the card drown in the loch and we didn't know if it affected the chariot or not)
-
Assuming I did everything else as suggested (a very solid suggestion since it is true) what would you suggest swapping out for four Pathways? Two of each basics probably? I think I am undervaluing Karlsson Forest since the self damage spooks me but my other instinct was two of those plus two basics. By the way, can you sense a pattern of a brand new player going through your videos to upgrade each of the most recent precons one by one?
-
waiting for the dimir control video to pop up
-
I’m running a version with more gruul cards from war of the spark and domri instead of Chandra .
