Creature (1)


I think we all know Zur the Enchanter at this point. We've all groaned when you sit across from someone for an EDH game and see him pulled out. Because EDH allows us to use any of the incredibly OP auras from before 8th edition, Zur is one of the better EDH generals and comes in great colors for a good balance of control, power, and defensive lockdown.

For $90 you get a great deck that can easily wipe up competitive decks due to Zur's ability. This is because you can pull the exact tool you need for the situation. I will give a quick run-down of what cards you should tutor depending on the playstyle you choose to play.


AGGRO:


Sometimes you need to deal damage, lots of it, and quickly. Or you've pulled out all of your control tools and you are essentially free to throw down your opponent with voltron-style commander damage. This is one way you could play:

1) Pemmin's Aura

2) Steel of the Godhead

3) Battle Mastery

4) Ethereal Armor

And Zur is a 7/10 unblockable first strike lifelink double strike with spot protection and hits for 14 commander damage!


CONTROL


1) Stasis, then either

A) Sleeper's Robe + Solitary Confinement

OR

B) Energy Field + Rest in Peace

And you're effectively immortal as long as these stay on the field!

Other options for specific strategies are also included for the deck to deal with Voltron styles, tokens, artifacts, lifegain, instant/sorcery heavy (Izzet style decks), graveyard-based strategies, and pretty much everything in between.


Other Stuff


Card draw - Sleeper's Robe , Standstill, Curiosity

Global Destroy Protection - Eel Umbra , Hyena Umbra , Umbra Mystic

Spell Counters - Too many to list - they're all in the instants section.

I've always thought Zur was the most powerful EDH Commander due to his ability and I feel like he doesn't need a huge budget to own in a 1v1 scenario. Suggestions Welcome.
