I feel like I'm running to much control and depending on my commander to do all the killing. What can I do to fix this?

Zur is exactly that

Right on! Possibly my fav commander for that reason.

However, also to consider if more creatures is your final choice:

{Auramancer}
{Umbra Mystic}
{Kor Spiritdancer}
{Sovereign of Lost Alara}
{Bruna, Light of Alabaster}

PS You'll also benefit from:
{Sun Titan}
{Celestial Ancient}
{Evershrike}
{Greater Auramancy}
{Opalesence}

Here's another Zur EDH deck, for ideas.

I didn't see a {Necroprence} in there. What's that about? Why would you NOT want one of the greatest cards in magic tutored and put into play for you?

Especially when you start with 40 life.

Basically zur decks should be about
20% control
35% land
20% zur targets
10% mana acceleration
15% various utility cards like Divining top and stuff.

Basically ur only job is to get zur on the table as fast as possible and start swinging. Get him hexproof and then grab enough enchantments to pump him. You should not be actually casting anything other than utilities and counter spells to guard zur once he hits the table

So here's the new deck list with a few upgrades that yall suggested. Cards that you suggested that aren't in there are only because I could get ahold of them. So what do y'all think of it now?

Not bad. Missing a lot of key stuff so u should get it ASAP. {standstill} {necropotence} {phyrexian arena} {greater auramancy} ( a must!!!!)

I just got the necropotence and I'm trying to get the greater aruamancy. I think that will make it complete.

I've found {retether} extremely useful in my enchantment-based EDH deck. If your best enchants tend to end up in your grave and you keep wishing you could bomb them all back at once, it is a card to consider.

Does anyone run {Bruna, Light of Alabaster} in these decks? I started building a Zur deck and I think she'd be cool in here.

Also, you should run more dual lands. It's important to try and get all three colors ASAP. I have a list of all the common and uncommon dual lands for this deck if youre interested.

She is definitely worth purely because of the term "may attatch" meaning you don't have to, but if you want you could steal opponent's auras as well as remanouver your own.

I am sure some people do. I only don't because I don't play enough mana. I could see her as an epic comander herself though

Especially with lots of self milling and stuff. Hmmm. I might make that.

This is the final product for now. Thanks for all the help and advice. I play tested it yesterday and I couldn't lose so there you have it a bad ass zur deck.

Ok so I updated it again to run more dual lands and search lands and added retether

You'll need to remove one card though, since you are at 101 cards total.

No it's exactly 100 for some reason the program makes it seem like its 101.

You probably have it at 100 + your sideboarded commander. The commander counts too, making you at 101.  You need 99 + your commander to = exactly 100.

It means 99+1 is 100, hIs deck is fine

Added a few mass removal spells and a couple cool combos.

I wish I could bump my first two comments. Lol.
