Unholy Charge (Commander / EDH MTG Deck)

I personally focus on removal of opponent's cards, wither it's in their hand, library or on the field, OR buffing up Zurgo and passing him around with Assault Suit, which gets the Pain Train going. With Cradle of Vitality and a Lifelink, it starts to make Zurgo a very heavy hitter, since he gets passed around to everyone as well, it can end a game quickly. So while Zurgo enjoys his ride on the Pain Train, I try to get some of my other creatures out too, I've found Silent Arbiter to be a great way to keep the hoards of my opponents at bay, while I build my own with Ghastly Conscription , Army of the Damned or Rise of the Dark Realms. Then I'll sacrifice the Arbiter to unleash the armies of the damned upon everyone. This itself is a great scare tactic, keeping people from hitting you unless they want to get smacked by their former comrades and zombies. As Zurgo makes his full round about, I might equip him with Grafted Exoskeleton or something else I find useful, then send him back around. Once it gets later in the game and most people have been hit a few times, I'll equip him with Worldslayer to bring the game to an end.

This is my first EDH/Commander deck, and I've enjoyed using Zurgo Helmsmasher in previous games.

Any recommendations are welcomed. I hope you enjoy this deck as much as I have.

Edit

I did some more reworking with the group I commonly hang out with.

I added in Akroma, Angel of Fury and Akroma, Angel of Wrath for angels, Shambling Vent and Smoldering Marsh for lands, Skullclamp for equipment, Path to Exile for a nuke, and a few other cards I thought would work well in this deck.

Still looking for a few cards that would make an infinite mana engine, buff Zurgo, or just overall shenanigans - Which everyone loves.
