LANDS
Arid Mesa, Bloodstained Mire, & Marsh Flats- The fetch lands for the color pairing, fetch lands are the best lands in the game.
Sacred Foundry, Blood Crypt, & Godless Shrine- The shock lands for the color pairing, these are almost as good as the original dual lands, especially since they're fetchable.
Clifftop Retreat, Dragonskull Summit, & Isolated Chapel- The check lands for the color pairing, check lands will usually come into play untapped, and they're relatively cheap price wise.
Cascading Cataracts, & Darksteel Citadel- Both of these are indestructible, allowing you to gain a slight mana advantage when you destroy all the lands on the battlefield.
City of Brass, & Mana Confluence- Auto-includes in any multi-color deck, the 1 life payment is well worth the cost for access to an untapped duplicate Command Tower.
Command Tower- An obvious inclusion in any multi-colored deck.
Exotic Orchard- I personally play this in any deck running 3+ colors, since it will usually be at least a dual land, and will most often be a redundant Command Tower.
Reflecting Pool- Another auto-include in any multi-colored deck, just another Command Tower, although it is useless turn 1.
Prismatic Vista- Yet another auto-include in multi-colored decks as long as you have a decent amount of basics to search up.
Flagstones of Trokair- Gets you access to a Plains when you blow up all the lands.
Luxury Suite, Spectator Seating, & Vault of Champions- The Battlebond lands are excellent and should be played in every deck that can play them.
Rogue's Passage, & Shizo, Death's Storehouse- Gives Zurgo unlockable or pseudo unblockable, and are excellent targets for Weathered Wayfarer.
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth- Auto-include in any deck running .
ENCHANTMENTS
Blind Obedience- Makes putting up blockers for Zurgo annoying for your opponents, and gives you some lifegain, something incredibly useful for this deck, since you will rarely have blockers, because Zurgo is too busy swinging.
Land Tax- An auto-include in any deck running , it ensures land drops while thinning out your deck, one the most powerful cards in .
Phyrexian Arena- An auto-include in any , just solid, consistent card draw, something this deck desperately needs, since Zurgo has no card advantage attached to him.
Sigarda's Aid- An incredibly efficient spell at 1 mana, that makes you whole deck more explosive and efficient, since this deck relays so heavily on equipment.
Smothering Tithe- An almost broken card, the amount of mana this thing produces puts most ramp to shame, it's an auto-include in any deck running and is probably the most powerful card in .
War's Toll- Works both defensively and offensively, either forcing your opponent not to have blockers or to keep your opponent from retaliating, and it will shut off instant speed interaction by tapping all their mana (except for mana rocks), this card in general is a headache for your opponents to deal with.
ARTIFACTS
Arcane Signet, Boros Signet, & Orzhov Signet- The signets are solid mana rocks, and they help get Zurgo out sooner.
Champion's Helm- I decided to put this in the deck instead of Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves, since Zurgo already has haste, but I still wanted an equipment that gave him hexproof.
Coalition Relic- All you need is this, 3 lands, and a charge counter, and you can cast Zurgo, this is one of the best mana rocks for 5 & 6 drop commanders.
Conqueror's Flail- Gives Zurgo +3/+3 & keeps your opponents from messing around w/ you or Zurgo during your turn.
Embercleave- This card packs a lot of punch for just one equipment, it gives both double strike and trample, both of which are incredibly useful when paired w/ Zurgo, and it has the same surprise factor that the double strike mode on Boros Charm, which can allow you to take out carless opponents that have already taken 7 Zurgo damage and let him through, foolishly thinking that they will survive.
Fellwar Stone- The best 2 cmc mana rock.
Mind Stone- Another solid mana rock that, lets you cash it in for a card in a pinch.
Sensei's Divining Top- Goes in almost any commander deck, especially in commander decks that struggle w/ card draw.
Shadowspear- Seems to be made for this deck, it gives Zurgo 2 incredibly useful abilities w/ Trample and Lifelink, and it's activated ability can be invaluable against decks w/ indestructible permanents to allow you to completely wipe the board uses a Worldslayer effect.
Skyclave Relic- A mana rock that is indestructible, so it's able to survive the many permanent board wipes like Worldslayer, Jokulhaups, & Obliterate.
Sol Ring- It's commander play this card!
Sunforger- The best card in , especially w/ the release of Teferi's Protection, this card can one man the whole game for you.
Sword of Fire and Ice- Card draw attached to an equipment, w/ additional benefits including +2/+2, protection from , and 2 damage to any target.
Sword of the Animist- Ramp attached to an equipment, definitely a solid equipment.
Worldslayer- Is the card that the whole deck is based on, if you have this triggered while attached to Zurgo, it's pretty much GG, about the only way your opponents can deal w/ this is if they play an untapped land that produces and use Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile on Zurgo.
CREATURES
Akri, Fearless Voyager- Does everything that a Voltron deck wants, draws cards and protects you Voltron creature.
Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist- Sigarda's Aide is already and incredibly powerful card in this deck, and this card does that effect on every one of your combats, all for just 3 mana.

Grand Abolisher- A solid card in any deck running , it enables you to go all out on your turn without worrying about counterspells and removal on your turn.
Keeper of the Accord- Goes in every deck w/ a decent amount of basic Plains in the deck, and we run 10 in the deck, so that should be plenty, plus pooping out some soldiers for defense is something the deck can definitely use.

Nahiri, the Lithomancer- Her +2 makes a creature to attach equipment to, her -2 allows you to recur equipment from your graveyard or cheat equipment from your hand to the battlefield, and her ultimate makes a broken equipment that when equipped to Zurgo will make a one-hit K.O. from commander damage.
SORCERIES
Armageddon- Mass land destruction is one of the most powerful effects in , and this card is the most efficient mass land destruction spells, this can be incredibly effective in this deck if Zurgo is able to get out early when your opponents are still setting up, you can blow up everyone's lands, which might give you enough time to swing in w/ Zurgo and hopefully kill a couple of opponents.
Blasphemous Act- An auto-include in any deck running , this is the only 1 mana board wipe in commander, making it incredibly efficient.

Settle the Wrekage- This deck is very offensive, which means we're too busy turning our creatures sideways to have creatures to block, leaving us open for attack, this is a great defensive option to blow out your opponents when they think they can swing all out at you. It is also an excellent Sunforger target.
