aldont on The Glory of the Horde (Zurgo Ultra-Budget)

Heyo! I ran a very budget Isshin deck a year or two ago; Mardu tokens are fun! I leaned towards a more aggro/streamlined approach, but if that ain't the vibe here, don't even worry about all this lol.

A broader question is how much/little you want to lean into the different face commanders, if you want to push more towards Zurgo ping/card draw or Neriv's unique token names; that can really shape the direction of cuts/include.

Cuts-wise, Thought Vessel Elspeth, Sun's Champion,Phoenix Fleet Airship don't do much for the game plan. Cathars' Crusade is good, but it's gonna be soooo many dice in this deck. Rising of the Day feels like it would be rough to cast on curve even if it makes the mobilize tokens hit harder. I'm kinda iffy on Neriv, Crackling Vanguard and Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip. As much as I love Brutal Hordechief I don't know if the attack drain trigger is going to be as good with all of the myriad/enters tapped and attacking stuff.

I think there's a lot of fun payoffs, but some of the token makers either show up later, or are conditional and need stuff to get them going, so having some other initial bodies you're not afraid of throwing into the red zone might help; combat is good, but also having a healthy number of sac outlets to let you have better control of which Zurgo mode might be nice?

As far as budget swaps go,Bitter Reunion for Fervor is some extra card selection, and then haste when you need it. Song of Totentanz for Tempt with Vengeance but it depends on if your playgroup is fun and gets tempted versus fringe utility as song's effect is split to make tokens/give EVERYTHING haste, so you can X=0 just to make a cool guy move faster...

Regarding boardwipes/mass interaction, white has some other proactive and sculptural ones and so swapping in Slaughter the Strong or Fell the Mighty for Hour of Reckoning can clear out some of the big bodies that make attacking hard. Treasury Thrull for Sun Titan is a silly one, ignore that lol. This one is a personal taste thing, but I might run Woe Strider as a second Viscera Seer over Morbid Opportunist, because that once per turn limit is frustrating.

Possible other budget things to look at: Horn of the Mark lets you dig 5 cards deep and look for a creature for every 2 tokens you send at someone; Devilish Valet Foul-Tongue Shriek Frontline Rush can just kill people dead; Woe Strider Dig Up the Body Blood for Bones are possible sac outlets.

Hope this helps lol

+1 just for making a deck where both sides of Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip are relevant :D

Join the Ranks and Unified Front do NOT do the same thing.

One is a Sorcery, one is an Instant.

The Instant can trigger Rally on an opponent's turn. The Sorcery cannot.

Therefore the Instant speed of Join the Ranks makes it better, for this deck.

Likewise, Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves have a significant difference. One gives Hexproof and one gives Shroud.

The owner of a permanent can't target something with Shroud, but they can if it has Hexproof.

That makes Swiftfoot Boots the better choice.

My guess is that you have forgotten that lands are permanents, which seems to happen a LOT when people give deck suggestions.

Amulet of Vigor is absolutely amazing in this deck, because it makes all the tri lands come in untapped, and raring to go.

---

The one suggestion you made that was helpful was Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip and I will insert that instead of Coalition Relic

Thanks for mentioning it.

Personally I would remove Bala Ged Thief and Beastcaller Savant because 1. While Bala Ged Thief is a good card, it doesn't really contribute to your wincons and 2. I would remove Beastcaller Savant because it has a very minimal effect on your board state as a whole(in other words I think that card slot would be used more effectively with a different card). I run a similar setup to you but with less lands without any mana issues if youre worried about that. Gideon's Phalanx is very expensive for the effect that it gives but I respect your choice. If anything you should probably swap Join the Ranks with Unified Front since it does the same thing but better, same with Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves . I'm not sure how much use you get out of Amulet of Vigor but it doesn't seem like it would have a big effect on this deck, maybe consider Darksteel Plate instead. Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip could also be a really good choice for on demand indestructible, maybe replace Drana's Emissary .

I like Dusk / Dawn especially the Dawn part as it hits almost all creatures in this deck. Slaughter the Strong and Fell the Mighty are a bit problematic imo, because they care about the power of creatures. With Breena, the Demagogue out, this deck should be able to place a fair amount of +1/+1 counters on our creatures, so that they would be big enough to be hit by those board wipes as well.

On the other hand, this is something that could be played around by placing all/most counters on only one or two creatures if one of those board wipes is in hand. Austere Command is neat here because it cares about mana value instead of power. In the deck as it is right now there are only 3/4 creatures with mana value 4 or greater.

Those sweepers are something to keep in mind while playtesting for sure. Currently there only is Austere Command , Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip and single target removal in the deck. If it turns out that the deck could use some more board wipes i think Dusk / Dawn would be my favorite, followed by Tragic Arrogance and Slaughter the Strong .

Thanks for the tips!

PS: The dog subtheme was not intentional, i don't think i will persue that one. A shame Resolute Watchdog has defender, otherwise it would slot right in.

That's a great list, really nice idea. I was trying to build a more political Breena but your list changed my mind. An aggro Breena is really powerfull.

And how about the new cards that come in precon? Nils, Discipline Enforcer and how Cunning Rhetoric could help protecting against attacks?

Felisa, Fang of Silverquill can really help against a board wipe. And what about Keen Duelist in the deck? A risky drawing card?

Selfless Glyphweaver  ^Flip could be a good one for protection.

Also, what do you think of using Promise of Tomorrow in this deck?

Really appreciate your idea and I'll try build a Breena with your idea!
