$1.19
Legendary Creature — Orc Warrior

Mardu tokens that attack every turn, with each Warrior token drawing a card or draining the table as it leaves.

Zurgo has mobilize 1, so every attack adds a tapped and attacking 1/1 Warrior that gets sacrificed at end of turn. His second ability is the engine: when a creature token you control leaves the battlefield, you draw a card if it was attacking, and otherwise each opponent loses 1 life. The mobilize token pays for itself every turn, and sacrifice outlets decide which half of the trigger you get.
In the recorded games, the deck played fast and aggressive. It stacked token makers and drain effects like Impact Tremors, Blood Artist and Bastion of Remembrance, and used Skullclamp for more cards. Several lists had combo finishes with Dualcaster Mage and Twinflame, or with Underworld Breach. A few builds added hate pieces like Drannith Magistrate. The deck kept steady pressure on slower ramp decks, but it needed a board to work and could run out of steam once opponents stabilized. Wins usually came early to mid game.
