My Zur the Enchanter deck. No, its not Doomsday Zur or Astral Slide Zur. Just good, ole-fashioned esper control.

Paths to victory:

1. Pillow fort with prison effects

2. Infect with Phyresis

3. Commander Damage. While unlikely, it is possible

4. Lock the game with a late Stasis and cast your Azor's Elocutors to win.

5. Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace combo. The deck allows you to tutor Rest in Peace with Zur if you find Enlightened Tutor , Demonic Tutor or Helm of Obedience . Technically you could also do it if you find Mystical Tutor , because you can use that tutor to get a tutor that can actually get Helm. Since cards never go to the graveyard with Rest in Peace , the Helm's effect is never satisfied and will continue until there are no cards left in the graveyard. Slightly degenerate way to win, but wins nonetheless.

I removed Merciless Eviction from the deck because I would never cast it profitably. Almost never casting it naming enchantments, because why would you? Cast it naming creatures means you lose Zur and any Auras that may be attached. This leaves artifacts and planeswalkers, which aren't necessarily a problem in my playgroup.
