Not likely. More likely stuff along the lines of Wild Hunger that kills your opponent quickly. Death triggers and sacrificing can also be a theme, since terrorists often run suicide attacks.

Since when did the Gruul become terrorists?

When they started attacking people? They're sympathetic, but they weren't exactly nice people.

I'm really having my hopes up to see Gruul as aggressive as Rakdos is right now.
I kinda have a hard time imagining it though (because Rakdos is really damn aggressive with the Unleash mechanic).
-
I also hope that they're the most aggressive guild of Gatecrash (because the other candidate being Boros is also going to be released at the same time. While I also love Boros, I think that Gruul deserves to be more aggressive, just for flavor's sake, and also the fact that red/green just seems more leaning towards aggressivity than red/white is).
-
So that being said, I still have no idea as to how they'd do this (if they do). It's sure that Bloodthirst isn't coming back, nor is Battle Cry (the guild's have new mechanics of their own so...).
I'm hoping it'll have something to do with haste, or something that makes your spells cheaper if you manage to damage your opponent (like Rakdos' [the guildleader] current ability, I think it'll kinda suit Gruul, plus it synergizes with Bloodthirst, their previous mechanic).
Even though the idea above seems good, I think it has a high probabilty not getting implemented, since it's Rakdos' [the guildleader] current ability. I mean, it'd be weird to have a whole mechanic for Gruul and that the Rakdos guildleader has it...
-
Long story short : I have high expectations of Gruul, especially in terms of aggressiveness.

I didn't say they were nice. Attacking people doesn't make them terrorists. They're mostly barbarians.

What about a Hellrider-like mechanic?

Something along the lines of:

Pillage - Whenever this creature attacks deal 1 damage to defending player.

That actually isn't bad, would also give a ton of synergy with Bloodthirst.
