So my strong, simple plan is to lock everyone out of traditional EDH win conditions and beat everyone to death with my general. This is obviously an unconventional Voltron deck and seems like a pile, but my light playtesting against common generals and cards has proven really fun so far (for me at least). Zurgo Helmsmasher gives me lots to work with in terms of colors and abilities and i had fun building around him.
Obviously I'm in a non green deck with no ramp, so my curve has to stay very low and my land count has to stay high. I really struggled to not put nombos into the deck to avoid clumsy playing, and I've already lost a game to my own Blood moon (poor sequencing, easily winnable game lol).
By clogging my deck with these effects, I'm guaranteed to slow down a table and hopefully bum rush the more threatening players and then regroup and deal with the runts.
Anyone have any thoughts or comments? What are your experiences with table prison? Can I do this without blue?
I need a deck i can play with randos at my local game store and not have them complain about "OP BLUE" or "Combo!" or "Ramp!" (they are bad players) and this seems like a nice way toe ven the playing field (hugely in my favor).
Sorry for the necroposting, I just want to share some ideas for Zurgo (new EDH and Zurgo player here)
I have no clue on how to play prison deck but since you have many instant, why not playing Sunforger? It makes Zurgo a 2 turns clock and eventually save you with an appropriate answer.
