You know what I hate? When your opponent attacks you. Or blocks your creatures. Or does anything. So I came up with this solution: Just Tap or Pacify EVERYTHING.

Zur the Enchanter is the focus of this deck. All but a handful of cards are 3 drops or below. We want to be able to tutor for any enchantment we want so we can deal with any specific situation we encounter.

This deck focuses on what I call "Active Politics", where you use your spells as threats to opponents so they don't mess with you. If someone threatens to attack you, enchant their creature with something like pacify. If someone attacks you, make sure their creature doesn't untap with cards like Encrust.

I've also included a few cards like Always Watching to give Zur Vigilance. Some pillowfort cards like Propaganda to further prevent people from attacking me. Some cards like Vow of Flight to encourage my opponents to fight within themselves. There's also a few toolbox cards in here to do specific tasks like Aura of Silence for enchantment/artifact heavy decks.I also included some combat specific enchantments lime Aqueous Form so we don't have to worry about Zur's safety in combat.My decks are never really built to win, I just really like stopping other people from winning.

Side Note: My playgroup doesn't play with commander damage, so Zur dealing 21 damage isn't really my goal, I mostly just boost Zur so he can take some hits and kill some creatures if they block.
