Planar Atlas
Artifact
Planar Atlas enters the battlefield tapped.

Thanks for the suggestions and +1!
I LOVE Caverns of Despair and am brainstorming on how to add it!
You might not have seen but, Ward of Bones was already on my list; it's a card that I adore (in foil), and was responsible for an epic win in a game at my local meet up in San Francisco.
I am interested in Planar Atlas - however I NEED red mana. I have Iron Myr in there because I feel more comfortable with the red mana production over something like Mind Stone. Mindstone is great for the draw and Myr is good for a block and red mana.
I had Crawlspace in the deck but it always felt kinda meh - taking up space for something better. I think this was because the other stax and prison pieces felt more impactful - especially with Gloin, Dwarf Emissary in there. Omitting Crawlspce frees me up to add more offense.
I also own Portcullis and it was also in the deck at one point. But it never really felt impactful either. I really had to think about and balance Prison/Stax, with enough damage spells and payoffs - so Portcullis probably got the boot over better prison cards and cards that provide offense. BTW, ever heard of Noetic Scales?? A card I used to try and make work in the Legacy version.
Torpor Orb and Meekstone are okay but risky in my build. Meekstone stops Gloin from untapping. The Orb is playable for sure... but non-bos hard with a few cards in the deck. I think I looked at Orb and made a tough decision... But I love switching cards around and trying them out for awhile.
So this deck has a long history. I've been playing since middle school in 94. I have two legacy decks, but they're both mono colored - Merfolk and Red Prison Burn. This deck is an homage to that Legacy build. I've been brewing these Legacy decks since I was a kid and continue to update them. Ensnaring Bridge has a special place in my heart cause I felt like I was playing it before it got big. I'm especially proud of my Legacy Red Prison Burn deck because it was a original homebrew concept I came up with as a kid. I've been building alongside my Merfolk deck all this time. I was an early innovator with the Red Prison build.

Oooooh! I do love mono-Red prison! Cool choice of commmander for it too.
I have some recommendations. >:)
If you want to lock out creatures, I highly recommend Meekstone and Portcullis. It is very difficult for most creature-based strategies to operate until they are removed.
Ward of Bones is funny. People hate it.
Torpor Orb is miserable. People really hate it.
I am curious why you are on Iron Myr! Why not a Mind Stone? I have been partial to Planar Atlas, though it enters tapped.
For one last silly card, Caverns of Despair is a Crawlspace that protects your planeswalkers.
Love the deck! Easy +1!

To both empty your hand faster and ramp to the titans, you might go extra heavy on the ramp.

Besides artifact ramp has become really good these days. Most of them add additional effects. Cards like
I'm gonna stop there.

Zur the enchanter $100 budget
2 years ago
Cool idea with good execution!
Not sure if you are 100% satisfied with your mana base, some stuff like Esper Panorama, Darkwater Catacombs, Skycloud Expanse, and Ash Barrens can help fix your mana, I always find Zur is a hassle to get out without stretching the budget. There are also somewhat worse options like Obscura Storefront, it's worse than Arcane Sanctum but not by a ton. I recently found out about Planar Atlas, but this looks like exactly what Zur needs to get out faster, but I do run Signets and Signet Lands, so I have more use for colourless arguably. If you're using a Sun Titan, any lands that fetch something before going to the Graveyard become pretty strong in my experience, but Myriad Landscape is hilarious if you can recur it.
Not sure if it's outside your budget, but Mirrormade is the cheapest Copy Enchantment I know of that Zur can fetch, and it can also copy an artifact, so if there is a ramp rock out Zur can find mana. Another way Zur can ramp you is The Restoration of Eiganjo Flip, which also turns into a creature. Dance of Many is a pretty interesting option if someone has a really big body out against you, not sure if you face many Blightsteels.
If you like to run Rule of Law effects in Zur, you might enjoy using a little Moderation to fuel you, it's a nice cheap card. If you can draw enough cards, Stronghold Machinist and/or Stronghold Biologist are pretty interesting cards. Obviously better with Necropotence though.
If you have Vanishing on Zur, you can fetch Out of Time to wipe the board in a shockingly thorough manner, if the board is full nothing is coming back. Obviously better if you can copy it before it goes away, but Copy Enchantment and Estrid's Invocation are both pretty pricey, and there are few things as good as copying All That Glitters. Another weird thing you could do is combine Spy Kit with Cornered Market, nobody can play creatures, if you have Zur out then you should be set.
If Propaganda or Ghostly Prison are too pricey, War Tax can be an interesting alternative, it's especially useful in a Rule of Law deck where you can't play multiple Sorcery speed spells, this lets you use spare mana to hassle whomever you want, it's non-targeted and scales with the game.
I always wonder if non-cEDH Zur decks should consider running Honden of Seeing Winds and Sanctum of Calm Waters to draw cards, Zur can find you a few other Shrines if you ever draw into a Draw engine, none better than Sanctum of Stone Fangs. I guess you'd have to decide how much work 2-3 cards per turn is worth, at least once it's set up it doesn't use more resources.
