Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander Deck: Mardu Surge
€54,95
The Mardu do not wait for their army to be ready. They build the army while they are already attacking. The Mardu Surge Commander Deck floods combat with temporary tokens, extracts value from every soldier that leaves the battlefield, and, under the leadership of Zurgo Stormrender, keeps moving forward relentlessly.
Zurgo has Mobilize 1: every time he attacks, a tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior appears. At the beginning of the next end step, such a temporary Warrior is sacrificed. For Zurgo, however, that is no waste: if an attacking token leaves the battlefield, you draw a card. If a token leaves while he is not attacking, every opponent loses 1 life.

Why choose Mardu Surge?
- Create tokens while attacking: Mobilize creates temporary Warrior tokens that enter the battlefield tapped and attacking.
- Even temporary tokens provide value: Zurgo rewards you every time one of your creature tokens leaves the battlefield.
- Go-wide from multiple angles: Adeline, Hero of Bladehold, Legion Warboss, Emeria Angel, Ophiomancer, and Siege-Gang Commander keep the new tokens coming.
- Token-doubling and upgrades: Divine Visitation, Kaya, Geist Hunter, Commander's Insignia, Goldnight Commander, and Ogre Battledriver make your temporary army much more dangerous.
- Skullclamp fits perfectly: Small tokens that disappear anyway can easily be converted into even more cards.
- Neriv plays with token variety: The alternate commander rewards you for controlling tokens with different names and lets you play extra cards from the top of your library.
Attack first. Profit either way.
Zurgo Stormrender
Face Commander · Red / White / Black · Orc Warrior
Zurgo is a 3/3 with Mobilize 1. When one of your creature tokens leaves the battlefield, draw a card if that token was attacking at that moment. If it was not attacking, each opponent loses 1 life. As a result, your temporary armies provide value even when they leave.
Neriv, Crackling Vanguard
Featured Commander · Red / White / Black · Spirit Dragon
Neriv is a 4/4 with flying and deathtouch, and creates two 1/1 red Goblins upon entering. When Neriv attacks, exile cards from the top of your library equal to the number of tokens with different names you control. During any turn in which you have attacked with a commander, you may play those cards.
What does Mobilize mean?
Mobilize N triggers when the creature attacks and creates N tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior tokens. You choose who or what each token attacks. At the beginning of the next end step, you sacrifice those Warriors. Mardu Surge tries to extract as much value from them as possible before, during, and after that moment.
Playstyle:
Mardu Surge is aggressive without simply putting everything into one large creature. You build wide boards, create even more attackers during combat, and use sacrifice, death, and token payoffs to keep pushing forward even after combat.
New to Commander?
Mardu Surge clearly demonstrates why multiplayer Commander can be so dynamic: you can even distribute the attacking Mobilize tokens across different opponents. Read how Commander works →
