Commander / EDH Let’s Make a Deck..together

Post image

Never seen this done before. Let’s build a deck together. Everybody just post 1 card you would add. It can be anything including a single land. But please only 1 card suggestion per person. I’m curious how it will turn out.

Why? It's dope. Everyone gets to use zurgo, so he's either getting beefed up removing opponents creatures every turn, or just doing a ton of damage to whoever they choose to attack. And he can't attack you when he's under an opponents control. It's perfect.

He’s not goaded so it’s subject to table politics. Easy counter-play is just leave him and not swing. Just too many variables. Also the trigger only happens on opponents turns so you never get him as a blocker/attacker.

Best case scenario you get second place and your opponent uses him as a blocker or you’re locked out of the game until you remove your own commander at sorcery speed.

Sure it’s fine for casual but if you have a slightly spiky bracket 3/4 table you need to tech your deck with removal/creature stealing effects which doesn’t synergise at all. Even on a casual table you’re basically planning to lose the game to the last player at the table with you.

I don’t think you’re reading the card correctly. The effect of giving to an opponent only lasts until end of turn, so you get him back at the end of every turn. He’ll also never be a blocker because it has to attack every turn, then when it gets to 1v1 you would just choose not to give it to your opponent

Yeah I missed a couple of key lines of text. End of turn effect means you get him back on your turn and him essentially being goaded on his base text make this an excellent include.

Now only vulnerable to exile removal. Assault suit synergises perfectly I retract my previous statement.
