Title: How to deal with zur?
Post by: Thetrufflehunter on November 13, 2013, 07:38:25 PM
So my brother plays a {Zur, the Enchanter} edh deck, and I play mayael. How do I deal with zur? I can think of {condemn}, {chaos warp}. Any others?

List:
{condemn}
{chaos warp}
{stranglehold}
{oblation}
{paraselene}

Saccing it he can just cast it again, and if I terminus in mayael, I lose all my good stuff as well.

and? He loses everything that was enchanting him. Yeah he can cast it again but Zur doesn't play much recursion. Sacrificing also doesn't target, so if he has a stupid {Greater Auramancy} setup out, you stop it cold. Then you can just hold some more instant kill spells to respond to Zur entering. I agree about {Stranglehold} though.

{Paraselene} works I think, and bonus life is not bad.

I run {Aven Mindcensor}. Sometimes it's too late to play him, but we can usually get the table to gang up against Zur before then.

You could also  {Elvish Piper} (or something with that effect) into some massive beast with flying or reach that can eat Zur for breakfast

 {Pacifism}, {Arrest}, {One Thousand Lashes}, etc. then slap on a {Robe of Mirrors} or something else that gives shroud, usually followed by a comment like, "here ya go, another trophy for your enchantment wall". *cheeky grin*
