The Glory of the Horde (Zurgo Ultra-Budget)
10 months ago
Just taking a break from my studies (I'm done Friday!) to give initial thoughts...
First, good work getting the Mana Curve down. I prefer a 2-3 average CMC for my decks so this is gorgeous!
I will say I prefer Martial Coup over Forth Eorlingas! simply because Martial wipes the board if X is greater than 5. Forth's only benefit is making you the Monarch, but I don't see much reason in here to become the Monarch, and making 2/2s instead of 1/1s, but in a Zurgo shell your goal should be numbers. In fact Martial Coup is cheaper than Forth Eorlingas!, so if you're looking for budget, maybe give it a look.
I'm normally not huge on Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, but in your shell I think it'll work. Just keep an eye on it to be sure it's pulling its weight. Every deck has at least one card to "keep an eye on." In my Zurgo deck, it's Crackling Doom and Indebted Spirit.
If you can make room for it, I'd go for an Exalted Sunborn. Better options are Anointed Procession and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation Flip, but those are $40-$60 a piece if you don't wanna proxy. Exalted Sunborn, though, is $12 and essentially Anointed Procession on a stick with a Warp cost that's the same as Anointed, so I'd look at that for doubling tokens.
I also prefer Fanatical Devotion over Reconnaissance simply because it's another sac outlet. It's also cheaper (.77 vs $3-$5).
I would also personally swap Woe Strider or Phyrexian Plaguelord (honestly probably the Plaguelord due to its mana cost) for Ashnod's Altar. One sac gives you 2 colorless that can be pumped into X spells or larger creatures.
My last cut would be Thunder of Unity. There are a lot of much more impactful enchantments than this one.
Honestly man this looks fairly solid for a budget precon upgrade! You've even introduced me to a few cards I can use (like Mardu Devotee). I'm impressed. This is MUCH better than what you had before. I can see an actual strategy brewing. I'd just add a few more sac outlets more than anything, as well as any way to increase token output. Good stuff!

Easy swap for a more fitting 3 mana mana rock:
Commander's Sphere > Patchwork Banner
Better fitting creature
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death > Witch Enchanter Flip
5 mana aristocrat card for a impact tremmor like effect with +1/+1
Syr Konrad, the Grim > Warleader's Call
card draw replaced by more reliable carddraw:
Disciple of Bolas > Idol of Oblivion
Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar > Caretaker's Talent
Garna, Bloodfist of Keld > Wedding Announcement Flip
Better token makers:
Oath of Eorl > Forth Eorlingas!

Cool deck. Personally I would make these swaps:
Dunedain Blade -> Pariah (put Pariah on Tajic and you will never take damage)
Starfield Mystic -> Unquestioned Authority (makes Tajic unblockable)
Geode Golem -> Ornithopter of Paradise (gets Tajic out a turn sooner and can help trigger his ability)
Butcher's Cleaver -> Loxodon Warhammer (strictly better)
True-Faith Censer -> Conjurer's Mantle
Heavy Mattock -> Horn of Valhalla
Commander's Authority -> Forth Eorlingas!
