Voltron Zur was the first EDH deck I put together. It wasn't that great and I was oblivious to Zur's reputation, leading to my getting hated out of almost every game I played. It was taken apart and forgotten about for many years. It was only recently that I opted to revisit it--this time trying to take advantage of Astral Slide/Drift, cycling cards to blink in creatures with useful ETB effects.

Our goals are simple: get Zur out as fast as possible, swing and get Astral Slide or Astral Drift, cycle stuff, and try to control the board while whittling away at our opponents' life totals.
