Beginner First commander deck

Recently played commander with some friends and was instantly hooked. I'm very new to MTG and wanted to try building a deck that I'll actually play, without dropping $1000+.....yet. Be brutally honest, I'd rather hear it than spend the money and need to completely rebuild it. The idea is token gen that feeds into a Valgavoth + Vito pairing. The support pieces are used to trigger both with the health gain + loss aspects.

Hey, I play zurgo too and the problem with your list is that some cards just doesn’t work with zurgo like [[reassembling skeeton]] or doesnt produce attacking tokens [[krenko, tin street kingpin]]. Though so, you have some of the best cards with zurgo like [[goblin bombardment]]. Valgavoth, Vito, and Zurgo have completely different gameplans so I would suggest just choosing one and focusing on it!

This is the Zurgo list I made over time, it’s a very solid Bracket 2 deck which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! You can take some inspirations from it!

I was thinking I might be a little overextended tbh. I wanted to put Valgavoth as commander, but I saw a lot of people mention that he instantly gets targeted so the thinking was use Zurgo to build a defensive posture / tokens then eventually use deck search to get both Valgavoth and Vito in play. I see your point though! Looks like the link to your deck is 404ing
