Deck Description

Odric or Ankleshanker will give you attackers first strike and deathtouch. So if your opponents choose to block Kessig forgemaster or Kolaghan Aspirant, their blocker is dead before combat damage would even happen. Even better if Hordechief is out. Make all their creatures block forgemaster. 1 precombat deathtouchy damage to clear all of their creatures.

Why do you have a playset of Alesha and Odric and X3 of Zurgo?

Are you thinking that's too many bc they are legendary? I guess I could take out an Alesha, but having either Odric or AnkleShanker is imperative to this deck.
This deck takes out creatures.
The deck is built around giving kessig and kolaghan deathtouch via Odric and Ankle Shanker for the pre-combat deathtouch kills (dealing 1 damage to a blocker will kill that blocker before combat due to deathtouch).
This is even cooler if I get to use Hordechief to make all opponent creatures block my deathtouch Kolaghan because then they lose all of their creatures.
Alesha could return Ankle Shanker, Kessig, Kolaghan, or my deathtouchers back to the battlefield in the event they die.
Zurgo is cool because he will either do a ton of damage or take out the rest of their creatures.

Odric is redundant because Ankle Shanker already gives your creatures deathtouch and first strike. And Zurgo isn't all that great because he's easily chumpblocked and your opponent can shock him on his next turn. And your strategy for forcing your opponent to block your creatures is a bad idea, you DONT want your creatures blocked. That's what removal is for.

If my creatures don't get blocked, damage goes through that's fine by me. My death touch blockers will hold off attackers. If my creatures do get blocked, each blocker will die before combat and my creatures will not. I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. This is why I have odric as a redundancy. But I probably should take out 2 of him since alesha can't target him.
That being said, I agree with you that zurgo needs replaced. Any ideas?
