Title: Zur Stax?
Post by: DimirOverlord1300 on March 31, 2014, 07:14:25 PM
I've been looking into building a Zur stax EDH. I have some ideas, but not enough to really start on a list. Help please? Price isn't an issue, that's something I can evaluate on my own. I also need an idea for a win condition. I don't want to rely on Zur for that because I want it to be possible for me to morph the deck into a new commander if I need to for Duel Commander.

Hey pal, it sounds like what you are looking for is Oloro stax with an enchantment subtyeme! In duel commander, oloro gives you a life advantage to make full use of things like {Skeletal Scrying} and {Necropotence}, and {Ad Nausium}. In multiplayer, you can have zur as your commander and wreak havock with {Pestilence} and {Bitterblossum}. in both builds, {Smokestack}, {The Abyss}, and {Never Void} are all solid choices.

I was looking at oloro but I wasn't planning on creating it for duel commander, just wanted it to not fall apart without Zur. I have never played duel commander in my area and don't know if I ever will. And Zur has the tutoring ability that's just great

Didn't they just ban zur in the dual commander format?

Yeah, that's why I want a deck that won't fall apart if I have to change the commander for duel commander, even though I likely never will haveto
