The first time I saw Zurgo Bellstriker during the spoiler season I thought "Well, he will be a nice addition to my Zo-Zu the Punisher tiny leaders deck!"After playing him in the mainboard the first time I rather jokingly put him in the command zone and from then on things went out of hand pretty fast. Zurgo guarantees me a one-drop EVERY play. And if my opponent isn't playing blue and therefore no Mental Misstep he will always come down. With the right cards in hand and nothing that stands in my way i can deal 17 damage in the first three turns. That is unlikely to happen, but something to start with. I didn't want to build around him, so I also didn't put a Hero's Blade in here. This deck is your average Red-Burn-Aggro-No lifegain-I hate long matches-deck.

Right now I'm testing out Quest for Pure Flame, it seems to me like a little brother of Shrine of Burning Rage (which is a must-include in every mono-red tiny leaders deck I think, when this comes down turn 2, your opponent can grab his stuff and go home).

Commune with Lava , also from the latest edition, won the games two times now. It is good to "refill" your hand and the end of the opponent's turn, when you have 5 mountains down and nothing in hand to do with them. You dig for three cards and draw another one when it's your turn. Most likely something from these four cards will end the game.

It is a really fun deck to play, like red is most of the time.

Suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks!
