Necropotence

Skip your draw step.
Whenever you discard a card, exile that card from your graveyard.
Pay 1 life: Exile the top card of your library face down. Put that card into your hand at the beginning of your next end step.
Niko9 on MASSIVE EDH RC ban list …

I mean, I don't mind these bans too much, but I do think they are kind of strange choices, just because they seem to be aimed at a more competitive meta, but not addressing the problems of competitive decks, just the enablers for those decks. I feel like other cards that don't function in commander as intended might have been better choices.
Thassa's Oracle this seemed like it was designed to be a wincon for control decks that combo out in the end, but it turned into a turn 2-3 possible win out of no where.
Tainted Pact simply does way too much in a 100 card singleton deck
Ad Nauseam is gross in every kinda way : )
Necropotence is busted with 40 life
Rhystic Study is a turtley enchantment that doesn't do much in the format it was printed into
The One Ring was not intended to give you 3 turns of protection after being played
Nadu I am down with, just because it is almost impossible to make a non-combo Nady deck.
Really, I never ran any of the cards that got banned, I just think the mana cards there were more enablers for decks rather than the problem cards that come after being enabled. A dockside without some broken play after is kind of just a powered up deck, and it's easier to have a rule 0 convo about fast mana than it is to have a rule 0 convo about combo win that somebody's deck can't function without.
DreadKhan on Need Help With A Solitary …

I've fiddled around with Solitary Confinement in another Zur list, that one uses Spirit of the Labyrinth and Teferi's Puzzle Box to get rid of everyone else's hand (I skip mine with Solitary and/or Necropotence), this gives you an awfully long time to win via whatever means you prefer. If you use Chains of Mephistopheles you technically get a Spirit effect that comes with a big upside as it'll mill your opponents, but it's more than $1000, so I mention Spirit. None of this is Casual, but it'd be hard to make a Solitary Confinement list and have it qualify as Casual.

Beseech the Mirror and Beseech the Queen are additional tutors that might interest you to help you with consistency. More card draw in the form of Syphon Mind and Read the Bones are useful as well to maintain gas and help you get what you need. Dead of Winter might fit well for this deck as another wipe given your snow lands.
Regarding non-creature based decks, what is your meta looking like in terms of that? Is it a lot of blue players? If so, some hand hate in the form of Mind Twist (note, it says random!) as counterbait or Thought Distortion for something as a silver bullet.
Given your commander deck is heavily based on your commander, you should find additional ways to protect it. Whether it's something simple like lightning greaves or swiftfoot boots, or something more generally helpful such as Necropotence to give you additional draw to help with your ward.
I can give you ideas for cuts if you want.
Babian on Marrow-Gnawer White Border Only

Nice deck! Great to see that you also enjoy the challenge of building a Commander deck with only white-bordered cards. The early editions offer some really good ramp and draw pieces. In fact, there are two of the strongest ramp and draw cards in the whole format available white-bordered and would fit very well in your deck:
- Necropotence (Fifth Edition)
- Mana Crypt (Harper Prism Book Promos)
Other, less impactful, suggestions would be Strip Mine from the Fourth Edition and Crystal Vein from the Sixth Edition.
With my white border only Rubinia Soulsinger deck I follow a copy and steal strategy, which scales nicely with the decks of the opponents. You can check out my approach here if you like: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/mpq4CA_a9U6gsHYrOlqKyw

Yeah, it's a lot of the same ol shit, defending against Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Dragon's Rage Channeler, Orcish Bowmasters, Deathrite Shaman, The One Ring, Necropotence, Omniscience, ya know. When I go up against something else, I'm usually pleasantly surprised. I mostly play aggro builds and BO1 matches, I like the games to be quick and fun as I don't have a whole lot of free time, and def not enuf for a BO3 control match. I could get into some Brawl again tho. I do have a bunch of EDH decks built on paper, and a couple brawl decks on Arena that I haven't touched in quite a while, but I do enjoy the format. I sent you a friend request on Arena, Same username as on here.
Xtough on Evil dead ☠️ (Ode to Sheoldred)

I think it may be helpful to decide which strategy you want to follow. With your current commander the recursion and Reanimation effects do not have a synergy. If you want to be more competitive maybe decide which sheoldred will helm your deck. The acopalypse is for draw/life drain. The whispering for Reanimation. If you stick with you current commander you could cut cards without synergy with her. However, a subtheme is nice if not competitive and I prefer decks like that :)
Some other cards that may be of interest could be Necropotence, Archfiend of Despair, Wound Reflection, Pox.
And I agree regarding the mana base.
Head CoIIector on The Graveyard Getdown

I do really like what you're doing here, but just a couple things to consider.
Cabal Coffers should definitely be here. I'm guessing the only reason it isn't is budget.
Between your tokens being 2/2 and all the anthem effects, I doubt Skullclamp is doing much for you. Necropotence or Idol of Oblivion might suit your needs better. It seems it really only works if you have your commander out for the power buff/sacrifice. Even so, it might be better to switch out a sorcery/instant draw card for long term gains.
Yargle, Glutton of Urborg would be a really nice target for Gisa as well.
Heraldic Banner is an absolutely nuts rock for monocolored aggro decks like this. Highly suggest slotting it in.
Finally, Crashing Drawbridge would really take your speed up a notch.
scottbaker91 on Zur the Enchanter Stax

Some of my favorite Zur Combos are: Teferi, Hero of Dominaria + Stasis // Solitary Confinement + Necropotence // Rest in Peace + Energy Field // Stasis + Azor's Elocutors // Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact // Winter Orb + Mind Over Matter
Sunder, Armageddon, Death Cloud will send your opponents back to the stone age while you fish out more enchants and punch them to death with Zur
Mana Breach, Mana Vortex, Oppression, Overburden are must have stax cards for Zur. The enchantments / creatures that keep your opponents from drawing or casting more than 1 spell per turn are really solid for stax ex: Arcane Laboratory, Spirit of the Labyrinth. Notion Thief + wheels will leave your opponent with 0 cards
Spellskite, Vanishing, Diplomatic Immunity, Steel of the Godhead, Mind Over Matter are all S tier for Zur
Approach of the Second Sun for another easy win con
Have fun crushing your opponents soul
