For starters I'm a proxy person, my philosophy is to try out some cards before i buy them. Some people don't like it because it can be easily abused.
Aside from that info, most of your lands ETB tapped which makes them be useful a turn after you play them, effectively putting you a turn behind. Personally, I like the temples that Scry 1 the most, as far as ETB tapped is concerned, because you get a peak at what's next: Temple of Malice,Temple of Silence,Temple of Triumph. Checkout http://manabasecrafter.com when you have some time.
It's also unclear what the design is to win.-Everyone has no cards in hand, and just plays with the field? Seems your chances might be 50/50, which sounds fun. However identifying the win condition clearly, is very important to success.
I've seen a bunch of Zurgo Helmsmasher decks on here that rock the voltron thing really hard, with the indestructible bit. Which is 1 of 2 excellent things Zurgo does, along with a 7 damage. Sword of Vengeance with the first strike, trample, and vigilance could be brutal!
Maybe try building a pyramid of cards that either combo together or fit a general purpose or theme you're going for. There's more to the design of a killa deck than just putting good cards together

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually have an Assault Suit and a Sword of Vengeance laying around. Added them in! I'm thinking on going more all in on the tron route but Zurgo's pretty fragile when it's not my turn and I dont have an Assault Suit on him. I'll look into maybe getting a Mask of Avacyn

A buddy of mine runs a Zurgo commander deck with a TON more swords. Makes it much more deadly.

Here is my Zurgo Deck I run kind of a hybrid voltron/aggressive build. the deck can also get Zurgo out really early, even turn one if your lucky. It is also capable of winning without Zurgo if he gets to expensive to cast or the table keeps you from casting him.

If you Equip Worldslayer to Zurgo Helmsmasher he will get +1/+1 or you board wipe but keep Zurgo.

I've made another Zurgo list since commanders can't be tucked anymore this is the most common build I see other than my own.

If you're going to rock the Voltron angle you should consider upping the ante in terms of equipment quality.
I'd recommend looking into getting Puresteel Paladin/Leonin Shikari (do not underestimate the latter combined with Lightning Greaves!) and putting in a Sunforger.
Worldslayer is cute, but provides no meaningful benefit that the 10 mana costs you as opposed to a cheaper boardwipe spell which effectively does the same thing. In Voltron OHKO builds, trample/evasion is everything, so Loxodon Warhammer is useful and Inquisitor's Flail does some hilarious legwork.
Drop End Hostilities for a more basic board wipe - you don't want to lose your equipment to a boardwipe anyways. Wrath of God will suffice.

krysto2012 Worldslayer + Zurgo Helmsmasher basically forces your opponents to concede if you make contact.

I put Loxodon Warhammer in and Puresteel Paladin I don't have enough equipment to really make him or the other one work though. Inquisitor's Flail looks fun, though I'm trying to find what to take out for it. What is everyone's thoughts on O-Naginata?
