Zur Stax Primer

Zur the Enchanter, is seen as a boogeyman in the commander format, allowing for the tutoring of combo pieces such as Necropotence. Here, Zur is still being taken advantage of for his ability to tutor, but rather to grab anti-combo cards such as Rule of Law, or Stony Silence.

Overview

In the first couple turns (turns 1-3), our goal is to bring out Zur the Enchanter, and protect Zur with Diplomatic Immunity, or to bring out a card such as Stony Silence, stopping artifact ramp. For turns 4-6; continuing to set up protection for our board, Greater Auramancy and Estrid's Invocation, allowing for none of our enchantments to be targeted. Or bring out Ghostly Prison, or other direct hate cards; ( will explain more on later), to continue the improvement of our board while slowing down our opponents.
