But how does he fair against  {Kaalia of the Vast}?

A well built Zur deck will stomp Kaalia any day of the week.

Kaalia decks don't have access to counterspells. You're free to go off any time really.

Sickening, but very true. Zur is hands down the strongest commander. He's just way too easy to abuse.

Absolutezero

Awesome! Thanks for the help ill be sure to buil some zur

I'm sort of against Spiking it up for EDH. I'm guilty of doing it myself, because I enjoy playing powerful cards and winning, but I prefer the journey more then the early finish.

I don't like competitive edh, but the best commanders:
{Jhoira of the Ghitu}
{Zur the Enchanter}
{Kaalia of the Vast}

Can we expect a ban hammer on Zur as more enchantments get printed?

I hope so. I mean, as much as people will argue that he "can be fair" or "he's beatable" the fact is, build your Zur deck right (which is really easy) and he can take out more than one player easily. The fact is, he's way overpowered, and too easy to abuse. When your overpowering Kaalia in stabilizing your field, you're really cheap.

Mini rant complete.

My issue with Zur is that he has access to the tools to beat EVERY OTHER DECK. I have yet to see a deck that will beat a Zur deck regardless of what they play. The best bet I have seen is {Omnath, the Locus of Mana} in a fast rush, but even that is just hoping they dont {Path to exile} or some other FU to the commander damage.

I doubt Zur, Kaalia or any 3+ color commander will get banned anytime soon. I do believe he can be easily abused, but so can many others.

Oh and no love for {Animar}? I have seen him abused easily, and he can be abused many different ways.

Animar is like a multicolor Omnath. I really like him, but I feel he is strong without being broken. Reduced cost is not broken, eliminating cost completely is broken.
