Alright so I decided that I would throw together a Zurgo, Helmsmasher deck but I didn't want to commit completely to voltron because that can get super boring. So after playing around with a few different ideas I came up with the list down below. It's not a finished product and I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions... And yes I know that MLD is something I could have put in here. But the basic idea is to turn stuff sideways, throw some combat tricks and some minor control at them while I punch them with stuff and sometimes I even hit them with Zurgo!
I've decided to drop Outmaneuver and throw in Rakdos Charm I've seen the former a couple times and haven't played it where I've been in two games that Rakdos would have been a winner in its spot.
I've thought about Assault suit before and the reason that I kept it out was that it seemed kind of cute and a little narrow. Also the cost and equip cost seem really high for me. That being said I wouldn't be against playtesting it but I'm not sure what would get the ax. Maybe Fireshrieker? It's also an expensive cost and equip I suppose. The reason I had originally favored it was that it wasn't only good if Zurgo was on the board.
While cute effect are usually bad but they become much more viable when they are synergistic with your commander. I would run training grounds in a tasigur deck even if tasigur would be the only card that benefitted from it.
Assault suit prevents sacrificing which is a pretty usefull effect on it's own. You only run 19 creatures, pretty much any edict effect hits you hard. You can also get keep copies from kiki-jiki.
I have actually never been sad to see Skullclamp as I actually do have a few token producers in the deck so that is definitely staying. I didn't think about equipping copies with the suit that is an added benefit. I'll do some playtesting and see where it goes for sure thanks.
Ok so I've been less than happy with Word of Seizing so I'm taking it out and replacing it with the Assault Suit which I still haven't drawn into but I did say I would playtest it so here we go.
Have had assault suit used against me by zurgo, can confirm it hurts. Plus it helps with him being removed because he gains the indestructible each turn
