Tentative draft of a not-too-hateful Zurgo voltron deck. It'll be sometime before I can fully test it out as drafted here but the main point is voltron Zurgo without all the hate that typically comes with said voltron as there is a notable lack of mass land destruction. I have included plenty of other board wipes that fit within my group's meta.

Main win-con is Worldslayer + Zurgo Helmsmasher using cards like Stonehewer Giant, Steelshaper's Gift, Enlightened Tutor, or Stoneforge Mystic to tutor Worldslayer.

Other win-cons include getting Zurgo double-strike through one of the many equipments, critters, or lands that will provide it and going for the 1 or 2 turn clock commander damage or using Nemesis Mask or Odric, Master Tactician to force opponents to block a trample enabled Zurgo and dish out damage with Vicious Shadows.

Feedback is welcome but I tend to avoid cards cost more than $20 to buy or exceptionally hateful like Winter Orb. I plan to update the deck as I play it and find adjustments.
