I already build decks that make me lose my friends, but you're telling me that I could've been doing that for only $10?!?

Mitch: “Do you have ten dollars?” Me: “no...” Mitch: “Do you want to lose all of your friends?” Me: “already did...”

I heard wraths as rats at first and was so confused where the deck was heading

This is much more affordable than avacyn land destruction

Hey Mitch, I bought this deck and got to play it yesterday as my last game of the year in a 6 player game. The game lasted about 2 hours and was a really good game. Everyone put up a really good fight and I ended up winning in a really close call against a spirits deck, and most of the players really enjoyed the chaos of the game. I won't be playing this deck every game I play because that would get boring very fast for people, but I wanted to let you know that your deck resulted in the most positive and fun Magic experience I've had for the whole of this year. Thank you Mitch.

This is the perfect deck to use before announcing you're moving far away. Or after another friend beat you with a deck everyone hates, just to show them what a real hate worthy deck is

"The first question is do you have 10$, the second question is do you want to lose your friends" You need another question in between the two, "Do you have friends?"

Mitch, you're the channel that inspired me to get my friend group into Commander, and this is the first deck of yours I've jumped on immediately. Can't wait to troll them with this. Thank you sir

I was surprised you didn’t include assault suit. It would speed up the win quite a bit …. Maybe I just answered my own question, since your stated objective was misery :-)

Since the topic is unwritten rules, one to add “Extra turns that don’t end the game infuriate people”

Assault Suit needs to be in this deck. It allows you to pass Zurgo to all of your opponents and hire any of them but you. I call it the Angry Pinball

Thanks again for an amazing deck Mitch! With kids and work I never have time to theory craft but your channel always provides great decks/starting points. I have picked up 5 of your decks so far and modified to make less budget but love everyone of them. Was just able to grab this one for 17 after tax and shipping and have all the nasty land and expensive wipes to add to it. Can't wait to try it out

I love using worldslayer in my zurgo and sapling of colfenor decks, people agree that's gg more often than not

This deck is 10 kinds of fun. I built a very non-budget version of this with board wipe tribal a while ago, and it’s brutal 1v1 especially. He is a proud member of my 29 physical commander pantheon. Proud to see he’s just as fun at a 200th of the cost.

for like 2 bucks you can get "world slayer" an equipment that destroys all other permanents when equipped creature does combat damage. you could add that to a "break the bank" version of the deck. pretty much win after the first hit.

I saw Zurgo as the commander and was like "eww combat based commander" and then watched the rest and though "board wipe tribal? Hell yeah"

Might be a little more expensive but ruinous ultimatum would be a good include. It read destroy all non land permanents your opponents control

Boros charm is also a really good addition to this if you're willing to spend a little over a dollar definitely making this deck gonna have some ppl hate me lol

Too bad Chandras Ignition is too spendy at $5. It would be perfect. -It is a boardwipe when commander is on board (7 damage kills most things) -Since commander does the 7 damage to each creature, it gets a +1/+1 counter for each creature that died.

Oh please please please please please do a break the bank episode for this deck! A 100 dollar budget for something like this would be absolutely insane and awesome!

Mitch: Don't do this, it's a mistake I made way back when. Also Mitch: Let me show you how 😈

I love my zurgo deck one of the first commander decks I made and still play it. Have about 10 board wiped in it along with my pet card world slayer. Haven't got to get that combo off yet but still waiting for the day when I get to destroy everything but zurgo and worldslayer after an attack.

Classic Commander for me. Lost most of my collection and thus my commander decks due to unfortunate circumstances back in 2014. However, from the ashes I managed to build this guy as my first new commander deck while trying to rebuild my collection. Still have it to this day.

The "lose all your friends" card for me recently became Etali. I have him in Veyran deck. With Eye of the Storm and Thousand-year Storm. Revolving around stealing things for good and getting extra turns. Yeaaaaaaaah. Etali on turn 4 can paint you a juicy target mark on your forehead anyway.

This is a cool deck! One way to upgrade it that I would do is throw in enchantments that have universal death triggers. They don’t get removed by your wrath’s and they give you a bunch of value that turns your wrath’s into more than just board wipes. Cards like moonlit wake, dingus staff, eternal thirst, necrosynthesis, sadistic glee. These cards are all relatively cheap but there are also a bunch in the higher budgets like mesthook massacre and black market that could benefit from all of the death triggers.

My $30 vadrik deck claps and is borderline cedh basically. Only lost 2 out of 12 pods and some were a 5 pod. Heavily underrated since he is a new commander.

In order to get me to start playing Magic my friends built me a deck of a card I had seen in passing. They put the only strip mine they had in it but told me to be wary because touching people's lands is taboo. They built me Muldrotha as my first deck.

I have a very similar deck. Our lgs has an Urza problem (too many Urza players locking up the board with Narset, Parter of Veils and Puzzle Box) so I made a deck where the commander is Rosheen Meanderer amd every card is destroy target artifact, destroy islands, or counter target blue spell. Its sole purpose is to deal with the Urzas.

Hey Mitch, I ran a version of this w 16 sweeps and 16 spot removal spells. Ran the Indestructible gods, Mogis etc too. Worked great for my Meta. Thanks

I used to play back when Ice Age was new. My brother, being the asshole he was built a control deck, Winter Orb, Millstone, Meekstone the whole nine yards. Absolutely infuriating to play against and he spent a good chunk of his allowance to put it together. I beat it with a deck that cost maybe $5 and only had 40 cards. Zephyr Falcon, a 1/1 creature with flying and doesn't tap when it attacks combined with Unstable Mutation, which boosts a creature +3/3 but gets -1/1 at the start of every turn until whatever you put it on died. Throw in a couple of counter spells and a few power sinks to keep anything too bad from happening and with one creature I could take half your hit points with very little you can do to counter in the the first few rounds. And I always had two in my hand because of the small deck size. He almost flipped the table when I beat him. I took that deck to a local tournament and got second place.

I love episodes like this one. I'm sure there's someone out there who's playgroup spited them recently, and this video came along at the perfect time for them to get some cheap revenge in.

Mitch really loves wrath tribal. This is at least his second deck around it. But I feel like it’s more.

the problem with this deck, is that its built to fight against other creature decks. it could use some counter play to spell slinger decks by make it maybe a bit more voltron-y? like hex proof and protection from other colors or something

I genuinely thought one of the opening questions was going to be "Do you have friends to lose?"

Thank you so much, my friends keep bothering me to play commander with them. I'm not a magic fan and this seems like it will ensure they will never ask me again.

Bruh I straight up thought you were saying rats, lmao 😂

In my playgroup it's really easy to see cards like jokulhaps and other wraths effect, so i built a deck that is supposed to be immune to wraths. I'd love to play 2 headed giant with this deck as a partner!

Zurgo is that legendary creature i keep leering at in a weird way to build a "board wipe" deck where i can safely run all the "destroy all creature" cards BUT Zurgo is more a "voltron" commander than a "go wide" commander. There are equipment's that create creature tokens, including a vehicle. Not all board wipes leave your artifacts alone. You never normally have mana to cast Darksteel Forge..... i really feel like if i want a "Voltron" commander, i have other options. Especially since Darksteel Plate exists.

This was the commander of my first ever commander deck, when i still didnt know how to really play the game.

Kinda wanted to see more land destruction. Seems like Desolation Angel finally has a home in this deck.

Worldslayer would be a better Golden Pig. Literally ends games. I run it in my Zetalpa deck to take advantage of the trample/flying to get that combat damage in, the indestructible to live the wrath, and the double strike to trigger Worldslayer twice in one turn to make sure nothing sticky gets to survive.

Great episode! Can’t wait to lose my friends. That is, the ones who Stuck around after I built my child of Alara deck...

I made this deck years ago. It was great!

Yeah I learned the rule 0 stuff when my playgroup started to do it more when I made baral counterspell tribal

This deck 💡 should never be spoken of lol, I have a friend who has like 6 wrath's in his deck, and my table gets so salty lmao. I could only imagine a deck that does it on every turn 🤣

I built a zurgo wrath-tribal deck as a gift for a troublesome friend, and let's just say it's changed the playgroup a lot

Bearer of the Heavens is made more horrid when combined with Teferi's Protection, whether its your turn or not when he goes boom

I made a deck almost like this one except it was an edit of your 99 land child of alara deck. It's pretty great

I have been brewing a deck like this with Bruse Tarl and Anara. Green gives access to land ramp and mass artifact and enchantment removal like Fracturing Gust and Creeping Corrosion. Ya know, to lose even more friends.

Just a few double strike enablers would be cool; it’s always nice to turn a 3 turn clock into an instant kill after a single attack.

"Lose your friends for $10" Me, with $8 in the bank and no IRL friends: "Interesting"

The title made me laugh hard, great video!

God these decks you present are so inspirational. My wife loves your 99 Lands deck.

I already had this deck years ago, still use it.

Yeah i made a zurgo voltron deck years ago based on giving him Worldslayer. :D it was fun for a bit

I've run a Zurgo wrath/voltron for some years and my favorite combo is to cast Zurgo in an empty battlefield then Armaggedon. Late game it is brutal.

I was literally thinking about boardwipe tribal last night and this is honestly hilarious

I've built a Gerrard deck that is basically boardwipe tribal, and my playgroup was still fine with that. This, on the other hand...

Yea im thinking about building this , just when i cant win with my other decks ill grab this

I usually refrain from playing my zaxara deck because of the amount of counterspells for that reason, but sometimes they bring the heat so I have to respond in the same level.

I think I need this deck! I don't need friends, only victory! I got it for $17 after tax!

Oooooooooh. You were saying "Wraths." I was waiting for all the rats in the deck you were about to show.

Mitch, I know she's out of your price range at $3, but all I could think about is building this to add a Jeska and one shotting someone after wrathing and using her 0😎

i did this with Alesha of the infinite, It's this, but on instant speed. I played it once, and took it appart. That 4 hour game was my revenge for my play group always blowing up my artifacts :p

im tired of my friends sliver cascade deck and his krenko goblin deck, thank you for this list

I know a guy who basically does this with his Avacyn deck, with worldshaker as his wincon.

Bought for $12 with the link! Took out the basic lands and it made the deck very cheap.

Could you build a $10 deck which will make me friends?

I didn't even hesitate to buy this deck. I live for salt decks, and pissing off my friend group. They're starting to pump lots of money into decks and making higher tier ones. So this is perfect for my next game session, thanks!!

I guess Worldslayer is too much at 2.35.

Love these ultra budget decks

Bearer of the Heavens... It's for the Blocks... This message brought to you in part by strategies to end friendships worldwide...

So I actually just purchased this deck for myself. Not been playing MTG long, and what I have played has been Standard. Thought that this would at least be a good starting point, and I could make some mods as I go along.

I would have found a way to put in Havoc Demon....5/5 flyer that when it dies ALL creatures get -5/-5 until end of turn

If you want to throw an extra dollar on there Worldslayer would be an excellent addition to the deck, basically a bearer of the heavens on an equipment...

When Mitch audibly pronounced the p in coup

The TCGPlayer decklist shows a single Green pip in there somewhere, but I can't seem to find what card it's getting that from. Is TCGPlayer wrong, or am I blind?

One of my first decks was Zurgo Sweepers and let me tell you...Mitch is correct in losing friends.

ok, but what stops my opponents from removing zurgo on their turns, who comes into play with just 2 toughness, and MAY have 3 toughness if the attacked player chose to block?

Is there a updated decklist for the deck to make it a little more competitive?? If so id love to check it out!!

I made this style dead last year I call it my Friday the 13th deck I filled it board wipes equip masks and the card trusty machete I put Planeswalker nahri in there to be Jason's mother and Zurgo is Jason. It was so good I had to put a restriction that I couldnt play Zurgo unless I had a mask equipment

Still better than my no win-con superfriends decks I used to play on Arena lol... I've gotten a lot better now

15:25, and my lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.03 for my Fifth Dawn printing.

i play zurgo only because i pulled a zurgo back in the day and this deck is fun. wipe wipe wipe wipe, zurgo + worldslayer, wipe lol .. thanks for the new ideas

mageta the lion is one of my favorites

Super budget stax? Edit: It's Zurgo, that.... checks out

Forgot Worldslayer. It's only about $2, so relatively cheap. If Zurgo gets through with this equipped, it's pretty much game over.

I have this deck, my playgroup didnt get salty. they just configured their decks to survive or bounce back from the 1-per-round-boardwipe :D

What lands in what amounts would you stock this with?

You forgot about worldslayer. The sword that destroy everything

If you want to upgrade the deck, Acacyn Angel of Hope give ALL permanents you control indestructible, Wrath of God and Damnation for 4 CMC board wipes.

Flawless maneuver.

If you click the TCG link and hit buy it runs up to $56 before shipping...

Another way to piss your friends off for cheep is my "Sunnyside up" so much mana shuffling and it takes many many many minutes for the kill turn. I have been banned from ever playing it again by any opponent who has seen it.

Laughs in my Kenrith deck that’s secretly just a indestructible brash taunter Durdle deck

Wow this is really similar to my own Zurgo list

Go over budget and throw in Worldslayer plus indestructible land. Make your friends smash the table!

does someone has a full deck list of this deck? would be much appreciated 🙂👍

my zurgo is a 39 wrath zurgo deck it comes out 1 or 2 times a year

I could see myself running World Slayer with This commander. Swing, wrath, and land burn, all at the same time! Oh and I'm not cleaning up the mess after the table flip ;D
