Really I could see your pool going any number of directions. This is probably what I would have settled on. I know it's pretty much what you said. I thought for awhile about white/black, maybe splashing blue, honestly I thought of all kinds of color combos. I think you could have pretty much gone with ANY guild with this pool and had a reasonable deck!

Ripscale Predator
Towering Thunderfist
Ember Beast
Hellraiser Goblin
Skinbrand Goblin x2
Madcap Skills
Massive Raid
Act of Treason

Gideon, Champion of Justice
Urbis Protector
Nav Squad Commandos
Assault Griffin
Daring Skyjek
Syndic of Tithes x2
Angelic Edict

Clan Defiance
Pit Fight FOIL
Wojek Halberdiers
Truefire Paladin
Arrows of Justice
Martial Glory

gruul keyrune

Gruul Guildgate x2


Anyway this is approximately what I would have done, give a card here take a card there, it's kind of hard for me to evaluate the curve in a forum like this.

I could see Boros working out well here, though Gruul is probably worth a shot, too.

I second that boros splash gruul is the optimal build.

Your blue is good, but green and black are both rather anemic. I think you went the right way, boros is the only guild where I can count up enough playables.
