Would Necromantic Selection not feel out of place with a Gisa and Geralf theme deck?

What are the hard rules for this sort of thing? I'm thinking of not even running signets.

Hard rules for a theme deck?
I think you are trying to just find more things that are flavor based, I wouldn't gimp myself trying to make a theme deck though.
I would try to find a balance of flavor and competitive.

By Voltron he means equipment and enchantments to buff a single card.

>>48147774
In my opinion I would use equipment that equip on their own.
>Hero's Blade
>Stormrider Rig
>Sai of the Shinobi
>Obsidian Battle-Axe

To support these you would also want things like Masterwork of Ingenuity and if you use mroe uquipments Brass Squire.

You should also be looking at burst buffs.
>Titan's Strength
>Temur Battle Rage
>Rush of Adrenaline
>Brute Force
>Fatal Frenzy
>Downhill Charge
>Reckless Charge

edhrec.com should help you get the general idea of what Zurgo commonly looks like for deck.
>>
>>48148097
Alright, I'll do my research, then post my recipe for advice. Am using cards I own, no proxies, and am very budget limited right now.
>>
>>48148161
Well if you own a Zurgo because you played that Standard then you could have a couple of the cards I mentioned.
When you post people will probably will tell you what is straight up better so what I would do is take notes on those and make two lists, one of what you are currently running and another that is what you plan to run.

Just remember you should always be on the offensive, dash and swing repeatedly with Zurgo.
Don't even worry about commander tax, just zone him everytime.

Sedris gives "Creature cards" in your graveyard Unearth. Collected Company says "Creature cards" also, anon. If it's not on the battlefield, it is not a creature, it's a creature card.

Heartstone only affects the abilities of creatures, not the abilities of creature cards. It will not reduce Unearth costs, Cycling costs, Scavenge costs or any other ability of a creature card that is not on the battlefield.

Activating a creature card's unearth ability isn't the same as casting the creature card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the creature card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Remove Soul) will not

>702.83a Unearth is an activated ability that functions while the card with unearth is in a graveyard.

Unearth is an ability the creature in the grave gains

The creature gains the ability of unearth, you put the ability on the stack that ability is reduced by 1

Its not hard cmon
>>
>>48151946
Anon you would need 24 mana to tap down your opponents' creatures. That's an absurd mana sink. And it's awful. Awful awful. At that point, just cast a Wrath into Faith's Reward and smash face while everyone rebuilds.
>>
>>48152036
>Unearth is an ability the creature in the grave gains

No, Unearth is an ability the creature card in the graveyard gains.

When you cast Final Judgment, do you think it exiles each creature card in the graveyard?

If someone were to cast Evacuation, are you going to scoop up every creature card in your graveyard and stuff it back in your hand?

If a card says "creatures" it means "creature cards on the battlefield". This is some of the most basic shit in Magic.

It does not benefit Unearth because Unearth is not an activated ability of a creature. Unearth is an activated ability of a creature card.

I cast Unsummon, targeting the Grave Titan.
Do you see anything wrong with that?
>>
>>48152377
Yes, sedris grants unearth (granting an ability is not activated)

Unearth is an ability used by creatures in the graveyard (linvalas ability on prevents on cards you "control" unearth is an ability that is placed on the stack its not cast like a spell) you do not control anything on the stack till it gets into play, after that their activated abilities will be unusable

Also, in my deck I found Automaton and Pentavus too slow. They are awesome in theory but I haven't had much luck with them personally.
>>
>>48152423
You are wrong.

You are welcome to play this game however you want as it is, ultimately, just a game. That said, the nice thing about games like magic is in nearly every situation there is exactly one correct interpretation, allowing people who have never spoken before to get together and play with the same rules. The correct interpretation of whether or not Heartstone effects the unearth ability granted by Sedris, Traitor King is 'no.' Anything else is houserules.

Moat won't tap his creatures; you can't attack him freely. The bridge is good, but very restricting, but also doesn't tap.

>>48152079
>you would need 24 mana to tap down your opponents' creatures
playing against 1 guy. Also, even with more players, it's very unlikely more than one will have so many creatures on the battlefield at the same time. The thing is, you tap everything (giving you AND other opponents the chance of attack) the guy have, with no bullshit involved; no hexproof, no indestructible, no nothing.

I'd go equipment-heavy rather than enchantments. Enchantments are card-inefficient, and in mono-red efficiency is key. Search for red cards that care about artifacts. Outpost Siege is the best card you have in that deck, so keep it in there.

One thing to keep in mind with voltron is "does this card help my commander?" Superfluous cards like Cinder Hellion and Lightning Shrieker don't really move your gameplan forward. In it's place you could have another piece of equipment like Sword of the Animist buffing Zurgo and helping you ramp.

All that burn won't help you much in a format where you will have to deal with 3 or 4 players' big creatures or decks that don't care about creatures.

EDHREC is your friend.
http://www.edhrec.com/commander/Zurgo%20Bellstriker/
http://www.edhrec.com/commander/Godo,%20Bandit%20Warlord/
I'd model it more on the Godo list than the Zurgo one, honestly.

I'll just make some budget suggestions.
Ruby Medallion, Fire Diamond, Silent Arbiter, Loxodon Warhammer, Sword of Vengeance, Chandra's Ignition, Forgotten Cave, Smelt, Smash to Smithereens, Fall of the Hammer, Armillary Sphere, Prowler's Helm, Swiftfoot Boots, Loreseeker's Stone, Staff of Nin, Commander's Sphere, Hedron Archive, Worn Powerstone, Sulfuric Vortex, Skullclamp, Vandalblast, Volcanic Offering, Tyrant's Familiar, Ghost Quarter, Dragon Mage, Steel Hellkite, Brass Squire
You don't have to spend a lot to build a decent deck.

It's a minor creature that no one normally cares, so there is not much hate towards it. Losing it is not a big deal, and no one kills it with 2-3 counters. From that point you can easily put him in 6 and give him infect or someshit for a surprise attack.

But because all my fancy Selesnya mana base is in my high-powered Sigarda deck, I am feeling lazy and don't want to be swapping things around. I have a concept in mind in which I'll stick to almost all basic plains + forests and mana dorks, so I want to include some nonbasic land hate. Aside from Primal Order and a few creatures that get small gains or landwalk from nonbasics enemies control, are there any other good ideas in the colors for hate?

When your commander is strong enough to get on the Duelcommander watchlist, you can expect people to immediately take offense to your presence on the board.

The thing is, your Commander is strong enough that you should be able to win through the hate. If you can't, you're not trying hard enough. If you're going to go all out with a high priority target commander, then fucking go all out or go home.
