I believe Zurzoth is a pretty well-balanced commander because the amount of card draw and token creatures he generates for me is proportional to how many opponents I'm willing to attack on my turn. That creates an interesting challenge where I have to decide which creatures can afford to swing (and potentially die), and at which opponents. With that much attacking going on each turn I'm likely to lose a lot of creatures, which is generally okay if I'm swinging with my token devils, because they ping for 1 damage when they die. If I play with Scrawling Crawler on my board, then it would almost eliminate my need to attack to generate value. Crawler would allow me to just generate value by 'doing nothing' each turn - that's not a very dynamic, interactive board state and doesn't feel good.\n\nSimilarly, I'm on the fence about adding "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dolmen Gate"}},{"insert":" to this deck because it would negate pretty much any disadvantages I'd face from recklessly attacking everyone each turn.
