This deck is built around finding Smothering Tithe. Unfortunately, Zur can't find it as it is CMC 4. But we have many tutors, and tutors for the tutors.

• Enlightened Tutor / Idyllic Tutor / Demonic Tutor
• Muddle the Mixture -> Demonic Tutor -> Smothering Tithe
• Spellseeker -> Demonic Tutor -> Smothering Tithe
• Spellseeker -> Argivian Find -> Smothering Tithe ...

Muddle and Spellseeker can also find Fascination to give everyone free cards.

Zur can find our Greater Auramany or Karmic Justice for protection, or find our Copy Enchantment cards to increase the efficiency of our Smothering Tithe. Of course, you can also find Necropotence to draw a lot of cards.

The goal is to make a ton of treasures with wheels and group-hug card draw, then kill everyone with an X-spell or Marionette Master.
