Strategy

The Gruul Hardened Scales deck in Modern revolves around using +1/+1 counters as a powerful engine to overwhelm opponents. The strategy typically involves playing efficient threats like Tarmogoyf and Monastery Swiftspear, along with cards like Mishra's Bauble and Manamorphose to trigger the Hardened Scales ability and generate card advantage. The deck is capable of explosive starts with cards like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Lightning Bolt to control the board. One of the key strengths of the deck is its ability to quickly grow creatures out of reach of opposing removal spells while maintaining a fast clock. Cards like Dragon's Rage Channeler and Tarmogoyf can become huge threats with the help of Hardened Scales. The deck also has access to powerful sideboard options like Alpine Moon and Chalice of the Void to disrupt opponents' strategies. However, the deck can struggle against decks with heavy removal or disruptive strategies that can disrupt its game plan. Cards like Tormod's Crypt can also hinder the deck's graveyard synergies, while artifact hate like Ancient Grudge can slow down its progress. Additionally, without the right draws or synergy pieces, the deck can sometimes struggle to close out games quickly. Overall, the Gruul Hardened Scales deck is a fun and rewarding deck to pilot in Modern, offering a mix of explosive starts and synergistic gameplay that can catch opponents off guard. With the right pilot and a bit of luck, it can be a strong contender in the Modern metagame.
