Introduction

Get out Astral Drift and Astral Slide with your commander Zur the Enchanter then proceed to blink creatures for value and oppression or sometimes your opponents creatures. Cycle cards to dig for the win condition of Helm of Obedience and use Zur's ability to get the other half of the mill combo Rest in Peace .

Astral Drift and Astral Slide are not as good as you think they are. They are not flicker effects. The creatures return at the end of the turn or at the beginning of the end of the turn. Therefore, when the entire engine is out on the field you only want to cycle once per turn to hit your enter the battlefield triggers. If they were flicker effects the deck would be really good. This is the first deck I paid zero dollars for. Got it all in trades. Enjoy humans.
