Go to combat.

Shamelessly based on an EDHREC Zurgo Helmsmasher article and its equipment option. https://articles.edhrec.com/the-chopping-block-zurgo-helmsmasher/

That list was pretty old (made in early 2017), so I'm on the lookout for any cards that would improve the deck.

I've changed a few things from the article, and am hoping to make it a bit more competitive.

Currently questioning the right balance between removal, board wipes, "ramp", and equipment/buffs for Zurgo.
