My take on Zurgo Helmsmasher focusing on board wipes and doublestrike. With the commander rule of 21 commander damage to take opponents down, Zurgo has a nice power of 7, which is only 3 hits to kill someone. Because of this I like to run a lot of doublestrike and evasion to get to that 21 command damage as fast as possible. Psychotic Fury, Battle Mastery, and Fireshrieker are all great doublestrike cards. A fun way to take someone down out of nowhere is to throw in Tainted Strike to an unblocked Zurgo Helmsmasher.

The second main theme of the deck is board wipes. I like to abuse the fact that Zurgo Helmsmasher is indestructible on my turn. Cards like Catastrophe, Obliterate, Jokulhaups, Worldslayer, and Armageddon are my personal favorites. When Zurgo Helmsmasher is out and I resolve one of these "destroy everything" cards, Zurgo is usually the only thing left on the board. The deck runs very few creatures because of the mass board wipe them.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions you have for the deck. :)
