Zur's toolbox-y, control-ly, crazy Tier-1 (hopefully) thing that does stuff.
Essentially, you're going to want a wall. If the opponent's deck is aggro-heavy, use Propaganda,
Ghostly Prison
, etc.
If their deck is graveyard-heavy, get a Rest in Peace out early.
If their deck uses many artifacts or some combos that are ETB-based, get either an Aura of Silence or Blind Obedience out.
When (not if) they try to remove you, get a Greater Auramancy out ASAP.
If they are running Bruna, Light of Alabaster , try to find AEtherspouts ASAP. Or just don't rely on voltron that game.If they could make you sacrifice Zur, there are a few counter-measures. If the card your opponent is using is imilar to Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos/Butcher of Malakir, Rest in Peace doesn't allow the trigger. If the opponent is making you sacrifice via a targeted effect, Aegis of the Gods makes you untargetable, and Greater Auramancy makes Zur (when enchanted) untargetable. If all else fails, Second Sunrise.

- Necropotence: How to fill your hand.
- Pariah: Zur is now your human (wizard) shield. Works well with Shielded by Faith .

- Stony Silence: Kills your mana rocks and such, but kills theirs, too.
- Vow of Duty: Either put it on Zur, or stop somebody else's creature.
- Vow of Malice: Zur will usually be unblockable, so put this on somebosy else's creature.
- Auramancer's Guise : Tutor for this to turn Zur into a monster.
- Blind Obedience: Control that's just mean.
