Murder House by swestdahl

Format: Commander

Commander: Zur, Eternal Schemer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Esper enchantments deck uses Zur, Eternal Schemer as a combat converter: he gives hexproof, lifelink, and deathtouch to enchantment creatures and can animate non-Aura enchantments into attackers. The primary path is to chain cheap enchantments through Mesa Enchantress, Enduring Curiosity, and similar draw, then win by swarming with Sigil of the Empty Throne angels, Ghostly Dancers spirits, and Daxos spirit tokens. A parallel Room strategy uses Central Elevator to find and unlock eight door names, ending the game via Promising Stairs. Starfield of Nyx and Replenish provide mass recursion, while a counterspell/removal suite keeps the table from disrupting the assembly. The deck is midrange: powerful once a critical mass of enchantments is on board. No hidden commander; Daxos is the closest lieutenant.
