Commander: Zur the Enchanter

Generals: Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Ertai, the Corrupted

Themes:

• Top-Deck manipulation & Miracles
• Lifedrain
• Curses & Flicker

Strategy:

Disclaimer: I don't recommend starting a game night with this deck, rather use it to take vengeance on a player that kicked you out last game or that runs ugly stax decks as the Curse-Theme requires you to take out players one by one. Otherwise your first victim might get a bit salty ;)

1. Set up defense with cards like Karmic Justice, Energy Field & Sphere of Safety
2. Slow down your opponents with cards like Curse of Exhaustion and speed up with Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora and/or Three Dreams
3. Start stacking curses on a single player (Be careful who you choose as your first victim)
4. Try getting Curse of Thirst & Curse of Misfortunes up. Use Paradox Haze on cursed opponents to double down on upkeep-curse-triggers. These three are the best targets for copy-enchantments such as Estrid's Invocation, Copy Enchantment and Mirrormade. All these copies are 3cmc and can thus be tutored with Zur!
5. For political reasons or if a player is at the brink of death you can use Flicker-Effects from Aminatou, the Fateshifter or Brago, King Eternal to reapply Curses.
6. I rarely use Overwhelming Splendor, but if anyone deserves it make use of it. Bitterheart Witch is great for getting that card out after a board wipe.
7. A great endgame finisher, once you drained enough life from your opponents, is Necropotence. You can also link two player's and finish them at once with Sower of Discord.
8. Whenever a player dies to your curses you can recover them with cards like Replenish, Second Sunrise or Open the Vaults. Don't let your curses sit in your graveyard too long since they may get exiled.

Side-Tactic: Top-Deck-Control & all the cool Miracles like Temporal Mastery or Terminus
