Zurgo ready by Kastagna
Format: Commander
Commander: Zurgo Stormrender
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a Mardu token-aggro / aristocrats deck built around Zurgo Stormrender. Zurgo is a compact three-mana engine: his Mobilize trigger generates a token on every attack, and his second ability turns the mandatory end-step sacrifice of that token into a card, while non-attacking token deaths drain each opponent. The main plan is to flood the board with 1/1s using Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, Endless Foot Assault, Hero of Bladehold, and myriad creatures, then convert the wide board into lethal damage through Cathars' Crusade, the Porcelain Gallery side of Dollmaker's Shop // Porcelain Gallery, Divine Visitation, or the extra combat from Response // Resurgence. A secondary aristocrats package - Goblin Bombardment, Caesar, Legion's Emperor, Warren Soultrader, and Pitiless Plunderer - turns tokens into direct damage, extra cards, and Treasure, letting the deck win through blockers and combat taxes as well.
