Just getting into Standard, saw an article on SCG about a control deck using Zurgo Helmsmasher as a finisher, and thought it could use some blue. Basic idea is to keep the board clear until we can get Zurgo out, use hand removal from Thoughtseize and Mardu Charm to get rid of their answers, and then beat face with Zurgo who puts them on usually a three turn clock. Looking for help on the mana base and the relative numbers of the other cards (what ratios do you think are right?
