Wort is great but I went Radha for the ramping. She makes for a mean LD general.

Stonebrow! Rawr!

I'm for Stonebrow as well. I think he embodies what RG does best - big beaters that hit hard and fast

I think Wort is the best, but I'm not really a fan of any of them.

Wort, the Raidmother is a really silly good general. A buddy of mine chose her on a whim, and now she is a ramping, burning, conspiring machine of epic proportions. Genesis Wave nabs the entire deck, spells like Banefire will knock two people right out of the game. There is so much combo potential, and at the very least, she does a lot of impressive things. That's where my vote is off to.

R/G is probably the 1 color combo that I've built the most decks for - Stonebrow, Borborygmos, Wort, Staang, Radha, and Ulasht - but out of all of them Stonebrow was by far the strongest. A lot of creatures already have trample, and there are plenty of ways to give it to the ones that don't. Throw in a couple extra combat steps, and you've got yourself a pretty scary board. Stonebrow all the way!

I face the same situation that I did in round 4, when I had to choose between Captain Sisay and Rhys the Redeemed.

Alas, I am still physically incapable of voting against large quantities of tokens.

Sorry Wort, but my vote goes to Ulasht.

Nobody's asking the really important question on everybody's mind. How does the general deal with Norin the Wary?

Ulasht, the Hate Seed, baby.

Stonebrow, because he smashes people with trample and extra combat phases.
Thromok also gets a honorable mention for being the king of 1-hit-KO'ing people. By the way, does anyone else notice most Gruul generals enforce a token strategy?

Ulasht is the fun option. Wort is the power option. I prefer fun. Thus, Ulasht.

Ulasht was one of my favorite decks, but my vote has to go to Wort. My buddy's Wort deck does stupid things, ramping super hard till he can conspire a burn spell and kill two people, or conspiring Tooth and Nail to just destroy the whole table. So good.

Wort is stupid strong.

My personal favorite is Borborygmos, but unfortunately, he's not a very good general.

It's sad that cards like Feral Animist would make a better Gruul general than most of the Gruul legends available

I voted for Wort because the spell copy effect is more powerful than anything the others could do in multiplayer. So many of the legends generals are really odd... Tuknir Deathlock is so ugly but gets cool points for wearing a Triceratops hat.

Wow! It's been a long time since I thought about Tuknir. That's a really odd mix of flavor text, abilities, and colors. Nothing about this card really comes together.

And how did Lady of the Mountain get a vote?

Cheers,

That's actually a great idea. I think I'm going to make him my pauper EDH general.

Dang how long was the poll up for? Didn't even get to vote on this one :\

If I had, would have voted for Radha.

lol and i thought stangg would have a chance. it was on the lead 20 or so votes in.

That's just people trolling the color combo without actually giving any generals a thought.

I have a dream that my four little commanders will one day live in a playgroup where they will not be judged by the color of their cards, but by the content of their abilities.

Wort and Stonebrow are probably the best, but my favorite is Borborygmos, mostly just because almost nobody plays him as a general, and because sometimes a big, unsubtle trampling general can be fun.

I have several decks that are a lot more powerful than my Borborygmos deck, but none has been as consistently fun.

i actually voted for it, i love the card. could cost a little less but it has a very nice flavor and theme to it. If it cost 4 maybe 5, it definitely would be great. Warrior creature type makes it even better.

Didn't get a chance to vote, but my favorite is Borborygmos.

I don't really understand the "too expensive to be a general" argument when you're running green. The best ramp color.

My 2nd favorite is Radha because she just lets your deck move so much more quickly (yes, that does sort of contradict my other statement, but oh well).

But my vote would have gone to Wort because I recognize she's probably the "best".

Quote from RWF_Less

I think my true disdain for Gruul lies behind the lack of any GR that doesn't implicit a *yawn* or a "meh." I look at the options and not one excites me.

so true, the only even vaguely interesting is ulasht, and even so, the color combo is still kinda dull
