Strategy
Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 17 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 4.60.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Outcaster Trailblazer and the rest of the 17 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Beast Within is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Garruk's Packleader keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Ezuri's Predation for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 4.60 average mana value the top end is genuinely expensive - land drops matter.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
