This Zurgo deck is streamlined for 1v1 win within the first 7 turns. This is not an inexpensive deck.

1) Early mana ramp to allow Zurgo to smash on turns 3 or 4 consistently.

2) Land destruction and stax abilities to limit defensive plays and removals.

3) Sweepers to clear path for Zurgo.

4) Taking advantage of Zurgo's indestructibility by unfairly playing traditionally balanced creature taxes like Lethal Vapors, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, and The Abyss.

5) Lots of tutors for all of the above, especially early Sol Ring / Mana Crypt / Coalition Relic fetch. This deck is truly singleton to take advantage of Tainted Pact.

6) Cheap spot removals.

7) Cheap permanent draws

Weakest links: Relic Barrier, Oblivion Stone, Aura of Silence. I'm waiting for Commander 2014 planeswalkers to replace these spots. I hope they're worth it.
