This deck looks to abuse the fact that Zurgo is indestructible, but only on your turn. I felt it wasn't worth giving Zurgo permanent indestructible, as that mana wouldn't be getting it's full value. I focus on two things- quick, unblockable commander damage and board wipes. Boardwipes abuse his indestructibility without it needing to be permanent. I take aggro off of myself by letting the table know that I will not board wipe if I do not get targeted, build enough resources to OTK someone, kill them and repeat. Other paths include alliances to take pressure off or simply having enough board wipes to destroy the board over and over while you beat face. If you get targeted heavily and do not have any board wipes, looking to kill the most dangerous player quickly is your only way to survive, as this deck does not build on-board defence. I make a few niche protection choices for Zurgo, because while indestructibility helps keep him safe, it also makes enchantment aura soft-removal potentially crippling due to the inability to kill zurgo. Because of this I run Centre Soul and Stave Off along with more classic enchantment hate. Centre Soul and Stave off remove auras from Zurgo, with the bonus of making him potentially unblockable for certain players. Many cards in the deck serve offensive and defensive purposes, as there are many creatures which prevent attacking and blocking in this deck. What you use them for depends on whether you are still setting up for the kill or working towards it actively.
