Zur the Enchanter: Lessons Learned

MajordomoTom, lol.
Baclash - I don't have a deck guide written, but I'll talk a bit about it here.
What keeps this deck interesting is the toolbox factor. Generally you want Zur on the table and then you simply grab the tools required at the time. If there's no immediate threats, I tend to get all of my protection pieces in place first, e.g. Diplomatic Immunity, Greater Auramancy & whatever other protection pieces I may need/want (hexproof, indestructibility etc.). From there you conquer by either controlling the table into submission or throwing auras on Zur for commander damage slaps. I'm not running a competitive insta-win build by design, but there are some decent card pairings that help steer Zur to victory (e.g. Necropotence + Solitary Confinement . Probably not the in depth guide you seek, but if you look at the card categories I've listed you'll start to get a picture of what this deck is capable of.

Budget Zur

I've had Phyresis in here for a while, but it's been cut because I haven't found it necessary, with having Empyrial Armor and Battle Mastery and the like, especailly once I have a lock of Necropotence + Solitary Confinement out, I essentially can't lose, so taking a turn or two to grab Armor and Mastery isn't painful at all, especially with a load of counters at the ready to counter anything relevant.
tl:dr - great card, bit win more.

Left a comment on your deck, WiltLeafElves. This is currently my "big bad" EDH list, my Zur deck. Once an Oloro deck, I've been working on this for about 4 years now. This is a combo-control deck, seeking to win through one of a number of ways, such as Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace or Doomsday + Laboratory Maniac after setting up an unwinnable board state, such as Copy Enchantment on a Greater Auramancy with Necropotence + Solitary Confinement and a bunch of counterspells in hand.
All I'm looking for is suggestions and/or cuts for the deck to improve it in any way.

- I am considering dropping Leyline of the Void again in favor of Rest in Peace for early game advantage (where I need it the most). This would also free up the Replenish slot for other combos (still considering what to do).
- Necropotence + Solitary Confinement or Phyrexian Arena + Solitary Confinement is a pretty good idea! I'll consider it a candidate for change.
- I think Starfield of Nyx is too much of a liability. There is just way too many board wipes in my meta.
- Even with Academy Rector in the mix I think that Omniscience is too expensive to run - I would like to stall the game at 5 lands with Land Equilibrium.
- Subversion could go for another set of win conditions, but I do need some, so it can't just be dropped.
- good point on Land Tax. I should have dropped it when I added Land Equilibrium. It is only usable in an opening hand, and its window of utility is pretty narrow.
- Soul Snare is there for politics, but it could go to make room for good win conditions.
- Sun Titan could work (breaking the no creatures rule he is not first in line) if I decide to keep Leyline of the Void over Rest in Peace.
@NinjaBunny01 If I understand it correct then Enchanted Evening + Opalescence would wipe all lands unless their controllers has anthems in play? and I am not running anthems.
