Deck is pretty straightforward: Get Zurgo out on the battlefield and smash some face.

Main win condition is Zurgo smashing the other player.

Rogue's Passage, Seize the Day and Savage Beating can help with that.
Whispersilk Cloak can make it a short game, adding in Fireshrieker + Loxodon Warhammer or Battle Mastery will maybe make it look slightly one sided. Adding to those buffs like Fervent Charge, Dictate of Heliod, Gleam of Battle or the bonus from Sorin or Elspeth came make Zurgo swing and win.
Unbuffed and unblocked he needs to hit 3 times: 7 x 3 = 21.

The deck has a bunch of filler cards meant to deal with blockers and such, 6 planeswalkers and a decent amount of removal and burn. Zurgo has some backup.
