+1: Look at the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, you may reveal it and put it into your hand.
-2: Target creature you control fights another target creature.
-7: You get an emblem with "Creatures you control have double strike, trample, hexproof, and haste."

Seems extremely powerful because of that cheap cost. Good enough for multicolor?
Keep those beautiful three mana walkers coming. I can't get enough of them.
Great with Library, Top, Worldy Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, Scroll Rack, Brutalizer Exarch. The fight is good too. Being able to fight AND survive for a measly three mana seems very good in a weak guild.
Nice. High power level, but is this card realy the kind of effect gruul wants?
Honestly I'll get what I can take for this guild. Huntmaster is a hit but it's also just a four mana card that's multicolor, and after Huntmaster gruul really is a slacker.

No love for BBE?
This PW looks solid. In the thread where the cards were spoilered, someone compared him to Liliana: 3 mana, 3 loyalty, +1 for card advantage-ish, -2 for conditional removal, -X for a sick ultimate. Though his looks even more sickerer.
Specialities about the cube: U tempo, B aggro, R slow-ish are supported. G aggro is not.
Currently trying to support tokens in all colors but blue, in different ways: W pumps them, B sacrifices them, R suicides them, G has decent-sized ones.

I'm simply not as big of a fan of BBE as the next guy but that does remind me that THIS is THE card I want to cascade into.
Now to work out how to fit this in... Kird Ape, BBE and Sarkhan are all great, and Huntmaster is one of the better gold cards I'm not playing. I'm not entirely sure where Domri ranks, yet.
Definitely in favor of this guy. I'd tell you what I'm going to cut, but it depends entirely on what else is coming in, y'know? I'm expecting more than 1 playable Gruul card from this set.
Nice are love him in my werewolf deck. -2 is very powerful for these colors and the last ability is just so much fun! Game ender for sure!

bloodbraid elf is a staple no matter what kind of cube you run. kird ape and flinthoof boar are available for aggro. huntmaster of the fells is a great card that i can see excluding if you push aggro really hard and/or want to limit the 4cc guys, but it's definitely a strong inclusion. stormbind is a good aggro support card. if you overtly support ramp/midrange in green a least a little i like the worldwake man land as well.
so long story short, i don't feel like i'm hurting for RG cards. this guy doesn't protect himself that well and neither of his abilities are that strong. 3cc walkers are pretty great, but this guy needs some testing before i know how good he is. he's not making it in just because i need to fill some slots.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
While I'm totally down with a 3 CMC walker in RG, I'm not sure if Domri makes the cut. He's similar to Liliana in that he's got a conditional card advantage on his +1 and conditional removal on his -2, but both abilities are straight up worse than Liliana's. His +1 doesn't have a consistent effect. Sometimes you get a creature (~50%), and sometimes nothing happens at all. You can't even put the card on the bottom of your library if you don't like it. His -2 has the advantage of being targeted, allowing you to snipe problem utility creatures, but it also requires you to have something beefy on your side of the table. Admittedly, that's not a problem for green, but while Liliana can crush post-wrath stabilization plays, Domri doesn't have anything to work with.
Really, best case scenario with Domri is dropping him turn 2 and then just leaning on him as a card advantage engine for as long as you can, and forcing your opponent to either deal with him or play around his -2. That's pretty good, but it only really goes in RG ramp or midrange.
I think this guy is insane and I can't see a R/G aggro deck or midrange deck this guy wouldn't be in. At 3 mana he's very cool, definitely my 5th for gruul. (behind bloodbraid, flinthoof, kird ape, and stormbind)

he just doesn't seem aggro at all to me. it's good after a wrath to (maybe) give you more threats. it doesn't really do anything i want a 3cc card to do in aggro.

Seems weak. The plus can whiff, the minus is highly conditional, and the ultimate is unattainable. It doesn't look like something I would play in a gruul/zoo aggro deck nor a r/g ramp deck.

Barring something else from Gatecrash (which is highly likely), this will be my 5th Gruul card. Pretty nice but not uber-strong. I could see him getting benched by other good stuff just in this set, especially if Gruul gets hooked up like Golgari and Azorius did.
I'm considering just making my gold section giant. The new cards from this block are going to be so much better than a lot of monocolored cards it's probably just worth it to include them over the alternatives.
I think it'll reward people for choosing correct color options and taking risks on wheels.
Hypothetical cuts for this? Flinthoof boar seems like an easy one, or kird ape, or sarkhan,
Bloodbraid is the only R/G spot that i can think deserves its spot atm.

Kird Ape totally deserves it spot. 1-mana 2/3 aren't exactly growing on trees. Maybe you could cut it if you don't support RG aggro, but even then he's so good in Naya Zoo. RG aggro is a super-sick deck in my cube when it comes together.
