This deck started as a Mardu Goblins deck we made with a friend. 3 colors are too much for goblins, I wouldn't recommend it. After splitting the cards he turned his half into Rakdos Goblins. I kept the Mardu cards and eventually made this deck. One day I found a copy of Zurgo in an LGS so I bought him and he became the creature that holds this deck together. I can tutor him with Brainspoil. I can tutor another creature if he's already out. In 2024 I changed the one boardwipe to one that I can also tutor and added a few more new cards.

I like that Zurgo gets a +1/+1 counter even with noncombat damage, so the deck has two copies of Go for Blood, which can be cycled if not needed. Flayer Husk is probably the best one-drop the deck can have since it's colorless, gives you a blocker in the early game and sticks around. To the Warrior subtheme I found one card to provide a bit of synergy if equipped to the right creature: Relic Axe.

This color combination is probably the worst when it comes to mana fixing, so it's hard to get started if I don't have at least 3 lands. I tried to have as much mana fixing as possible, like the Cluestones.

Once it manages to set off, it becomes hard to stop. It has many types of small tokens (I'm a token guy, so I really like that) and big creatures with useful abilities.
