The idea is simple: build the board with hard to kill enchantments that create value, protect Zur, and protect you, then pump Zur and kill everybody. They'll suffer, and you'll soon become a target. The deck could be meaner, but it's meant for casual games that still leave room for other players to win. Otherwise, it won't be much fun after a game or two.

The mana-base can be improved if you have the cards or the budget.
