Zurgo nuke! Zurgo smash! Zurgo win!

Win through Zurgo Voltron while playing as many boardwipes/spot removal spells as possible. Dream play is slapping Zurgo down plus Armageddon and proceeding to smash face. The "Worldnuking (Mass Destruction) package is mainly creature-focused with spells that won't affect Zurgo, so your goal is to keep the board clean and attack while your opponents struggle to maintain board state.

Some of my custom categories overlap (e.g., Godo, Bandit Warlord is under "Tutors" but also works as a win-con by granting additional combat phases). In these cases, I've slotted the cards wherever I've mostly used them. Lands are also not sub-categorized.

Sunforger is categorized under "Engine" for its ability to get me many of my utility/removal instants.

Tiana, Ship's Caretaker protects my Equipment from mass destruction (e.g., if I play Obliterate with Tiana on the battlefield, any Equipments/Auras that get destroyed return to my hand instead).

Current build is being playtested, with possible substitutions in from the Maybeboard to replace 1-2 ramp cards (possibly Magus of the Abyss and Spiteful Visions in for Boros Signet and Thran Dynamo , depending on how quick things come together).

Deck is built for non-competitive multiplayer. Not built for 75% power but effectively is that way since I'm not willing to invest $$$s in an improved land package to sub out some of the basics.

EDIT (20/02/2019): subbed Nim Deathmantle in from the Maybeboard for Blackblade Reforged , which is a bit of a nonbo with the MLD. Deathmantle combos well with all the creature destruction. Nobody will expect you to tutor up Puppet's Verdict using Sunforger in response to your last opponent's end step, saving mana to resurrect Zurgo using the Deathmantle if needs be!

UPDATE 2019-03-17: Added Chrome Mox and Blasphemous Act in place of Quietus Spike (which is a bit of a "win more" card) and Drownyard Temple . We'll see how the deck plays with one less land.
