Make Zurgo Ghazghkull, Prophet of the Waagh!

One sentence goal of the deck: I want to cast board wipes often while going relatively unpunished myself, and plan to take advantage of the board states that occur because of this.

Don't you hate it when your opponents chump-block your commander with that 0/1 goat? Are you afraid of attacking in fear of retaliation?! Do you not want to board-wipe out of fear of losing your own creatures?!?

Well no more! Harness the fury of the Horde and crash down upon our foes each and every turn, who can hide behind their pitiful creatures no longer! Only the strong survive, and that means Zurgo! By creating an opening for our Khan every turn, our foes will fall faster than they can comprehend. In a mere three attacks, our Khan will have claimed glory for the Horde once more!

...in all seriousness though, this deck is a "blast" to play. It went from mostly a control deck to a voltron deck helmed by a somewhat indestructable creature, which I realized was great for boardwipes since they're almost all sorceries, and almost all specify "destroy". On top of that, he's got that beautiful 7 power, which can really only be topped by 11 or 21 for voltron strategies. Once you have Zurgo out, or whenever you need to, drop a board wipe every turn if there's a creature on board you're scared of OR the player you want to attack has even one creature out. Admittedly, there's very few creatures in there, but that's because they don't stick around too long and most don't add much outside of the ones already in there.

Just be wary, if you bring this to a multiplayer game, you'll almost always be the target because who likes playing AGAINST board wipes?
