Strategy
Mobilize makes attacking tokens every combat, and those tokens are built to be sacrificed: Zurgo draws when an attacking one leaves and drains when a non-attacking one does. A token army that would normally be a liability once the attack is over becomes the deck's resource engine instead, so the board never really shrinks.
Early: Cheap sacrifice infrastructure and fast mana. Pitiless Plunderer and Deadly Dispute pay for every death, Sol Ring and Arcane Signet get Zurgo out on turn three, and Viscera Seer turns spare bodies into selection.
Mid: Zurgo lands and every combat generates value. Ashnod's Altar makes the mobilize tokens free mana, Skullclamp turns each one into two cards, and Legion Warboss and Hero of Bladehold add bodies that attack on arrival. Lightning Greaves makes sure Zurgo connects the turn he arrives.
Late: Isshin, Two Heavens as One doubles the attack triggers outright, Thalisse, Reverent Medium turns the end step into another wave, and Bastion of Remembrance, Mirkwood Bats and Elas il-Kor mean each sacrifice drains the whole table. Warren Soultrader converts the whole board into mana at instant speed.
Win conditions: Drain, most often, since the tokens pay out whether or not the attack connects. Hero of Bladehold and Adeline, Resplendent Cathar provide the aggressive route, and Hour of Reckoning or Ruinous Ultimatum clears the opposition while sparing the tokens.
- Skullclamp - Two cards from every token
- Ashnod's Altar - Free mana from each sacrifice
- Isshin, Two Heavens as One - Doubles every attack trigger
- Bastion of Remembrance - Drains the table on each death
