Been trying to make a successful discard deck in EDH for a long time. Spent a lot of time working in Grixis, but was able to get this Esper one off the ground due to some relatively new cards (will explain below).

Functions of the deck:

Discard - There's a 3-card discard package that can all be fetched with the commander, and provides huge value: Disinformation Campaign + Estrid's Invocation + Waste Not . The latter two being relatively new, but fitting Zur's fetch condition, are the main impetus for this deck.

Cycling - Haven't counted exactly on the recent iteration, but about half the cards in the deck should have cycling of some kind. Plenty of fuel for Astral Slide and Astral Drift, and many of them can be picked back up with Sun Titan, including lands. Bone Miser does major work on this track.

ETB triggers - All of the huge 7+ CMC baddies, plus discard and other utility from 3 CMC and less guys, all bolstered by Astral Slide and Astral Drift, plus Thassa, Deep-Dwelling and Teleportation Circle.

Reanimation - Sheoldred, the Whispering One, Dreams of the Dead, and Sun Titan to reanimate my stuff; works great with Attunement to discard something then reanimate it. Scion of Darkness and Sepulchral Primordial to reanimate stuff my opponents discard. And Animate Dead and Necromancy to do both.
