I am trying to build a deck with a bit of MLD and some indestructible creatures. This is a rough build with cards I already own. I would like your input to refine it and make it viable. I don't want to push the MLD idea too far to avoid alienating my friends. Please keep suggestions under 5-10$ max.
I know I have way too many manarocks, I included those which could make the cut; how many should I play optimally? I also see atm that some gods may not be worth keeping due to devotion or other requirements. I just would like to have a few since they can survive board wipes. Another thing, I have no removal for enchantments/artifacts so I could use some pointers here (again, how many are enough?).
Finally, I am thinking about using Zurgo since he has the best colors for this strategy but I am open to a better suggestion. The deck could be a red-white build only, now that I think about it.
You may want to get a stuffy doll. Also run damage spells in addition. Blasphemous act and star of extinction are viable options.
While it isobviouslybout of your price range I would look at damnation. Day of judgement is also a good wipe. Wordslayer.is another option.
Try to cut down how many creatures you run though. Zurgo is more of a "I smash face" So I feel he is a better voltron guy. It even not as Bolton. He is a 7 damage general. Assault suit him up and let your opponents run him head first into others as well.
I like the Assault Suit idea, but it does not mean that my opponents will play into my plan, and could instead opt to keep him on their side without attacking. I DO like the Worldslayer suggestion, though.
How many creatures shoud I run in this type of deck, if I focus on Zurgo as my general? Any other great support card for him? I saw some voltron builds but I am not sure I want to push this idea too much, as it would probably take away from the MLD idea.
Careful of nine-mana boardwipes in a non-ramp color combination as well. Zurgo was my first commander, I've been playing him for ages. He doesn't often get to 9 mana

Even with all the manarocks, you think this is not feasible?
Can you provide a decklink to your deck, for inspiration?
Uh, right... didn't read the card before replying! OK then, I will consider adding the equipment.
I have thought about using the Suit but I have some issues about it. Once I give my Zurgo to an opponent, I basically forget about ever recuperating him, right? There is no way to pass him back to me at my turn, unless I am mistaken. Another problem is that he loses indestructible once given away. I can only see this plan working once I have wrathed the board and ideally destroyed all (or most) lands. Not sure this is such a good idea after all. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

I think the creatures might not be optimized enough, I threw in those which could survive the board wipes.
Any suggestion to fine-tune the deck would be much welcome!
Thanks

PS: I removed both 9cc boardwipes
Thanks!
