Lead the Charge with Zurgo's Vanguard
Zurgo's Vanguard arrives from Tarkir Dragonstorm as a compact but impactful attacker. Castable for {2}{R}, this Dog Soldier gains value every time it swings thanks to Mobilize 1, which creates a tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior token whenever it attacks and forces you to sacrifice that token at the next end step. The card reads plainly and functions predictably, which makes it easy to slot into an aggressive red shell, token synergies, or any deck that wants repeatable pressure and board presence.
The printed text also sets the creature's power equal to the number of creatures you control while keeping toughness fixed at three. That interaction rewards wide boards and token strategies and scales well with anthem effects or ways to copy tokens. If you play Zurgo's Vanguard in a Near Mint English copy from the Tarkir Dragonstorm set you get a reliable uncommon with clean art and solid play patterns. Add it to your deck and let it push damage and create attackers with minimal setup.
