Deck overview

This deck uses Zur the Enchanter as a toolbox commander to establish a stax lock and close out games through amplified combat damage. On Turn 4, the deck deploys Zur and attacks on Turn 5. Zur's attack trigger bypasses mana costs to tutor enchantments with mana value 3 or less directly onto the battlefield. The primary game plan searches for Eidolon of Rhetoric or Archon of Emeria to restrict each player to casting one spell per turn. Zur breaks this symmetry by continuously putting enchantments into play via attack triggers rather than casting them. Once control is established, Zur tutors protection such as Greater Auramancy and Timely Ward, followed by massive stat boosters like All That Glitters, Ethereal Armor, and Phyresis. The deck then eliminates opponents sequentially over three combat turns. Its primary vulnerabilities are an extremely low land count of 27 basics and a critical window of exposure while Zur suffers from summoning sickness.
