Zurgo Bellstriker

Oracle Text
Zurgo Bellstriker can't block creatures with power 2 or greater.
Dash
(You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it's returned from the battlefield to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.)Card Rulings
2/25/2015 Once Zurgo Bellstriker has legally blocked a creature, raising that creature’s power to 2 or greater won’t undo the block.
2/25/2015 Even though both cards portray the same character, Zurgo Bellstriker and Zurgo Helmsmasher have different names. Controlling both of them won’t invoke the “legend rule.”
2/25/2015 If you choose to pay the dash cost rather than the mana cost, you’re still casting the spell. It goes on the stack and can be responded to and countered. You can cast a creature spell for its dash cost only when you otherwise could cast that creature spell. Most of the time, this means during your main phase when the stack is empty.
2/25/2015 If you pay the dash cost to cast a creature spell, that card will be returned to its owner’s hand only if it’s still on the battlefield when its triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.
2/25/2015 You don’t have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.
2/25/2015 If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy won’t have haste and won’t be returned to its owner’s hand.
In the story regarding this version of zurgo, he is basically the lowest of the low status wise. He doesn't fight, he doesn't have any honorable deeds, he sits in the back and rings the bell. He is described as having a dull and useless blade, used only for hitting the bell. Why is he doing 2 damage with 0 combat training and a *****ty sword?
Why is he an aggressive 1 drop for a character who is not on the front lines? His "bell-ringer" status isn't incorporated into the design at all. he should have been a 0/1 or 0/2 with some kind of support ability stretching red's color mechanics, not an aggro beast. Makes no sense.
That being said, Im all for legendary 1 drops, having an Isamaru EDH deck myself.
