I played both Mardu and Abzan for the pre-release and noting the colors, I figured I could build a decent deck from both. This deck has beaten blue control, jeskai, GW, and GB all standard.

Zurgo has that lovely ability, where he gets a +1/+1 counter when blocked, further he is a warrior which allows for some added synergy with the Rush of Battle. Originally this had some chiefs of Scale but I think other cards would work better.

The Mardu cards add for some nice speed early game if necessary, which can hold off my opponents in time for me to outlast enough.

Burn decks seems to be a big weakness of this deck, with creature removal and enough early game hits and seems to be the only consistent win against this deck.

Erase was added because too many people play with gods and this is a cheap way to be rid of an indestructible powerhouse.

Land balance is set for 62 card deck
