    Privilege? No.
    A beard is a burden, and the men who choose to bear this burden are made stronger and wiser for it.
    The beardless will look to you for guidance.
    If a disaster occurs, they will seek your leadership.
    With great beard comes great responsibility.

    Akinator is easy to beat.
    Just use literary characters.

    Akinator couldn't get The Daughters of the Air (The Little Mermaid) or Korak the Killer (Tarzan series).

    I really couldn't tell ya, lol. I never played Return to Ravnica so I have no idea what any of those cards are other than that they're Gruul.

    If people say you don't do well late-game, it probably means you don't have enough big drops. If Borborygmos Enraged is your main big damage-dealer, you might want to use more copies of him or add cards that will let you search for him when you need the extra power.

    My hand froze when I tried to pet my Abomasnow. I wouldn't recommend it. :p

    And apparently living swords love to be petted!

    There is really no way to prevent this from becoming a Pokemon thread again, is there?

    Draw/Burn really benefits from Tandem Lookout, which was actually the card that inspired the deck I made. It's not super great, but it's fun to play. [T1] Goblin Fireslinger, [T2] Stormblood Beserker, [T3] Tandem Lookout, then it's all fun from there. Like I said, it's not that great, so sometime in the future I plan on modifying it. I've also been thinking of turning it into a Red/Black Drain deck, but I just like Blue cards too much.

    I love Blue/Black Control, but once I built that deck I didn't really know what other direction to take it in, and decided that a few Exhume and Animate Dead would be cool. It lets me play almost any creature I want. I can even cast some Eldrazi, given enough time. Jin-Gitaxias and Vorinclex have enabled me to cast Emrakul a few times. Usually, Jin-Gitaxias makes me deck out, so Emrakul is there to use pat of his effect to shuffle my graveyard into the deck. I sometimes hate how many silver bullets there are for Reanimator, but if I move fast enough it's alright. I keep a lot of counters (Counterspell, Cancel, Negate, Essence Shatter and even Doom Blade) in the deck and side deck.

    I see a lot of two-ofs and one-ofs, which definitely won't help your consistency. You have (unless I've miscounted) twenty-two lands, so a poor late-game might mean you're getting your mana too slowly. But that's only a guess. I do love the Bloodrush mechanic to death, but while Gruul is awesome by itself, you might want to consider a set of specific strategies, or a "mission statement" if you will. That's what helped my Azorius deck (and I don't even think Azorius is that good).

    F**king Vorinclex. No wonder you can hardcast Emrakul. XD

    My Grixis deck has some elements of UB control. Lots of counterspells and removal. But it doesn't do any reanimation, it just focuses on control and land drops until Planeswalker Bolas shows up and Cruel Ultimatums everything.

    Also, my Izzet deck also has the occasional problem of decking out because of the draw power as well. But I handle it with Laboratory Maniac. Niv-Mizzet loves him some doomsday devices.
