This is the meet of the deck. The rest is various lands I have worked out yet. Mostly basic I would imagine

MOAAAAR ENCHANTMENTS!!!

{Circle of Protection: Red}, {Circle of Protection: Artifacts}, etc... For example.

Auras! Auras! AURAS!!  {Spirit mantle} and {Inviolability} my good man!  Tron that Zur!
Or hinder your enemies with {Dead Weight}-type stuff. 

I mean this is basically a one v one deck and as far as enchantments go, since u can only get one at a time I figure I should only have the ones I WOULD get and the. Just get those same ones every time


1. Diplomatic Immunity
2. Greater auramancy
3. Emphyrial armor
4. Coronet
5 necropotance
6 steel of the godhead
7 solitary confinement
Etc...

If I am just going for the same ones every time why have ones in there I won't use. Granted I have special utility like animate dead and prison term but seriously. Why have needless enchantments which take away from my removal and counter magic?

But {Evershrike}? 😥

And a {Serra's Sanctum} would help.

... cough cough ... *{Sun Titan}* ... cough

The main goal of te deck is the 29 general damage otherwise I would love the aura guy. As for the land? Too much white mana with no place to go

21 damage?
{Spirit Mantle} would let you keep swinging safely. That or unblockability.

So does steel of the godhead. And yeah I meant 21

Ahh yes.  Didn't see that one in there. 

{Edge of the Divinity} in that case.

I agree with Agrajagzz9's original comment that Zur is going to fetch the same aura's each time, so there's not much point in loading up with auras.  How about a {Cloak of Mirrors} on the off chance you draw {Diplomatic Immunity}?

{Monk Idealist} is your second {Auramancer}.  I love putting {Pariah} on enemy creatures.  What about {Umbra Mystic} or Totem armor in case they have non-targetting means of killing Zur? 

See I have been tossing umbra mystic around for a while but I just don't know. She is useful but I Wonder if replacing her with a simPle counter spell would just accomplish the same thing by countering the board wipe of whatever

You said you were planning this for one-on-one?  Because board wipe is very prevalent in free-for-all.  Plus, you might want to sweep the board clear of your opponent's stuff to prevent being overrun by weenies, which I sense is an issue for this deck.  Another possibility that is Zur-fetchable is {Propaganda}/{Ghostly Prison}.  I see you have {Solitary Confinement}, but backup plans are always good.

Replenish is for tokens. Also wrath

How does {Replenish} save you from tokens?  {Retether} could play another, worse, {Replenish}.

Sorry I got mixed up. Winds of rath

Well, I'm still a fan of {Ghostly Prison}.

I think I might just need to find a place for this

For the board wiping, there's some aura that gives your guy phasing. Can't remember what it's called. Also, you should bump up {necropotence} in your fetch list. With 40 life at your disposal, necropotence (often said to be one of the best mtg cards in existence) is twice as good. Nobody ever said that about {Steel of the Godhead}. Even though I do love that card. It's in my {Geist of Saint Traft} EDH deck.

It is in my fetch list. I just wait until my guy is protected and I have {emphyrial armor} attached before I grab necro

Dont forget {phyrexian arena}!

Bump, and I'd love to give this a whirl.

Oh man this has been so good to me. I love it. It's so good now I only play it when someone is winning to much to bring things bak down to playability if u can take out zur edited his first swing you almost never can

Btw what does bump mean?

By posting any comment on an older topic, it moves it to the top.  This is a bump.

What about {bruna, light of alabaster}

I like to keep the creatures to a minimal. That way I have more ways to protect zur
