The 2nd iteration of my Zur's Weirding/Necropotence/Venser's Journal lockdown combo deck. All the removal in the deck can be Zur’d out as needed. One very good synergy in the deck is Soothsaying and Scroll Rack. Thought of this one some time after recently pulling the rack while trying to think of what deck to work it into. Sakashima and Spark are in here to clone Zur so I can get more triggers. Riptide Chimera is obviously an odd choice...except when you look at it next to Second Chance. I’ve checked with judges on this one. As many extra turns as you want as long as you have 5 or less life which is easy enough to get to with Necropotence on the board. Speaking of Necropotence, with it on the field with Solitary Confinement this is how you survive everything opponents throw at you. As for the win con. Necropotence + Venser's Journal + Zur's Weirding is what locks opponents out of the game by denying them access to their libraries till they either deck out or scoop. The only cards they get to use the rest of the game are what’s in their hands and their boardstate. And since Zur’s Weirding lets you see what’s in their hands you can use Necropotence as much as you need to get whatever counterspells you may need to protect yourself. As for surviving your own combo that’s where Venser's Journal fits in. One last “combo” (reason combo is in “” is there are ppl out there that get butthurt if you call any synergy that isn’t infinite a combo) in here is one that protects all your enchantments from targeted removal. Greater Auramancy and Copy Enchantment (or Estrid's Invocation or Mirrormade) copying the auramancy so they protect each other all your other enchantments. The only removal spells you’ll need to counter at that point are mass removal spells.
