Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity when Greater Auramancy is out is always fun for the Zur player 8).

DarianLoos Ah yes, I feel your pain. It is so hard to cut cards. I'll try to suggest a few that I think should go, since you really should make some more room for lands.

Thorn of Amethyst is going to slow you down almost as much as it will slow down your opponents. Investing two mana and a card into it is probably not worth it.

Phyrexian Unlife is pretty useless. If someone can get you down to 0 they can probably deal 10 more damage to you in that same turn. Think of decks that win with Craterhoof Behemoth swinging with 200+ trample damage or decks that have an infinite combo like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Pestermite . Interestingly, though, Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity is an awesome combo. Although probably not where you're going in this deck.

Approach of the Second Sun is too slow and vulnerable. Imagine investing a whole turn into it and then somebody just plays Counterspell.

Not quite sure what Elspeth, Sun's Champion is doing for you to be honest.

Chromatic Lantern is usually best in multi-color decks that need to fix their mana, but in a mono-white build it's not great. Certainly worse than Mox Opal or Mana Crypt.

This deck is coming together nicely! I'm happy to check out your other one. :)

I really like this one. I am building something similar but I'm trying to squeeze in the Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity combo. Looking at your list could use a couple more of Eladamri's Call or Melira, Sylvok Outcast to get the combo online a bit faster. Altar of Dementia seems to be your only sac outlet so I'd run a full playset. Perhaps splash a bit black and run Viscera Seer or run Culling Dais . And since we are milling them why not add a copy of Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger into the mix?

Update: There is already a thread regarding this; & for those who have an ambition for this kind of deck, I suggest you check that post instead. This can be closed BTW. One last thing, I might discontinue my Aminatou, the Fateshifter deck after all this... I wonder how the Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity works in there though...

Great deck, +1 from me, probably going to slowly collect the cards to assemble this deck!

I haven't really played Modern, but am familiar with the decks in theory. Anyway, why do you need 4x Path to Exile when the Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity lock makes creatures useless against you? I would swap 1 Path for 1 Dispel to protect the lock and the combo from removal and counterspells, and maybe add in one more Dispel in the sideboard, along with Stony Silence against Affinity.

I like pillowfort as an option for Hannah. I think that going with the Decree of Silence + Solemnity is fun, but as a back up Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity is also a game winning combo. For protection, Ghostly Prison, Propaganda and Sphere of Safety like Suns_Champion has suggested are all great options. Also Greater Auramancy to protect your combos, and Copy Enchantment + Greater Auramancy means that no one can target your enchantments. Ever. Add Enchanted Evening and not only is this combo insane, Sphere of Safety becomes something that says players cant attack you. Would love to see what you come up with after its through, and good luck!
