Lady Zhurong, Warrior Queen.

"Lady Zhurong, sometimes referred to as Madam Zhurong, is a fictional character in the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She is the wife of the Nanman chieftain Meng Huo, who rules the lands in the Nanzhong region of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. She claims descent from the Chinese fire deity Zhurong, from whom she acquires her name. Zhurong is the only woman in the novel who participates in fighting and battles against Shu forces alongside her husband.

After her husband is defeated by the Shu general Ma Dai, Lady Zhurong goes to battle and leads her troops to attack a unit of soldiers from Shu. She uses flying daggers and manages to capture the Shu officers Zhang Ni and Ma Zhong.

The following day, Zhurong engages Zhao Yun and Wei Yan in battle but both of them quickly flee from the battlefield. She suspects that it is a trap and does not go after them. When the same events happen again the next day, Zhurong still does not pursue them. However, after Wei Yan turns back and taunts her, she pursues him into a narrow valley where she falls into a trap and gets captured by the Shu forces.

Zhurong is brought back to the Shu camp, where she is treated well on Zhuge Liang's order. Zhuge Liang offers her a drink and frees her from her bonds. He then sends a messenger to meet Meng Huo and propose releasing Zhurong in exchange for Zhang Ni and Ma Zhong. Meng Huo agrees so Zhurong returns to her husband.

Zhurong is captured another two times by Shu's forces. The last time she is captured, she marches alongside her husband and their army to finish off Shu's army as they have been falsely informed that their ally Wutugu's army has nearly obliterated Shu's forces. However, much to their dismay, Shu's forces have actually routed Wutugu's army, and then they proceed to capture Zhurong.

After finally surrendering and pledging their allegiance to Shu, Meng Huo and Zhurong are released to continue their rule over the Nanzhong region. They never rebel against Shu again." - Wikipedia

Deck concept

I constructed this deck out of sheer boredom and out of an affinity for Lady Zhurong, Warrior Queen as a commander. The deck is incredible straight-forward and jank, but there are opportunities to play it in a few different ways. Before you mention it, yes, I know that Thrun, the Last Troll is a better option for a commander for this deck. In scenarios where I feel like playing a bit more competitively, I do have a signed, foil copy that I use, however, at that point, I'm more likely to grab a different deck.

This deck is a Voltron, spell-slinging deck at its heart. There's only a few spots for other creatures, so we want to make sure they are purposeful enough.

If you're looking to play this deck more strategically, you may try to leverage your pump spells and protection for other creatures as to help knock your opponents out, pushing for a 1v1 experience in which you can one-hit kill someone with commander damage. This is how I often play this deck and it's been pretty fun.
