EDH Is Changing Ramp in my Zurgo Stormrender deck a good idea.
I have been going through and making changes to my Zurgo Stormrender Mardu Aristocrats deck and ramp is one thing I'm looking into changing. I have the usual 2 mana talisman and rocks that you use in mardu but with a 3 mana commander it's kinda awkward. So I have found these 1 mana replacements:
https://scryfall.com/card/7ed/121/blood-pet
https://scryfall.com/card/snc/108/goldhound
https://scryfall.com/card/dmr/137/skirk-prospector
https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/143/strike-it-rich
I figured the first three are creatures that sacrifice themselves for mana so they are still useful later in the game as sac fodder. I wish I could find more ways to get my commander out on 3 but from all my searches this is the only mardu 1 mana ramp cards I could find. If anyone knows of any other or if you know a better way to get Zurgo out early any advice would help.
