Gruul Aristocrat
A while back I made a card called Rakdos Aristocrat. The idea was to make a 10 card set of Aristocrats based on the Ravnica Block Guilds. I was never truly happy with the cards I made for this, and I was waiting for the moment when inspiration would strike, and then I realized that this would make for a great challenge!
We just completed the Seventh challenge for the Izzet Aristocrat.

So here it is... The eighth of 10 challenges (As long as you all like it and it continues to be popular)
Gruul Aristocrat
The guildelines are as follows...
1. CMC of 3 or higher
2. Must have at least one red and one green mana in the casting cost.
3. Should be Uncommon or Rare.
4. Should fit the feel of Gruul.
5. Subtype should include "Advisor"
6. I would prefer the name of the card be Gruul Aristocrat, but that's not required.
The judging will be comprised of Comments made on the cards by other cardsmiths as well as favorites on the cards, and I will also take into consideration your thoughts as well. Any ties will be broken by myself, or a vote.
The reward for this challenge shall be a TROPHY and a custom card of choice! The top three cards will be announced.
The contest ends on June 12th
Here is a recent sample I made

I felt the Gruul Aristocrat should be a (somewhat) civilized mage that still makes a big impact on the game.
I designed it around Bloodrush, and the mechanics behind it. It really helps Gruul against discard and help makes your Bloodrush happen just a little bit faster.

Does the contest end today? Anyway, I DID technically make a 3/3 red and green vanilla Beast. Just like I promised.

Interestingly, it also works very well in a Selesnya deck, because creature tokens. Gruulesnya. (I'm not proud of what I've done, but I accept it.)
It's okay to wallow in your shame, just not your self pity!
I wasn't expecting that card. Nice job.

I tried to make it so it could be used in either iteration of Ravnica.
