Controlling the Cosmos

This is my take on a Zur the Enchanter list. With the release of Ikoria cycling Zur became a whole lot more interesting. I wanted to make the deck heavy into control and value, and prioritized 1 cost cyclers unless they had an added benefit. The deck has played very well for one built on a budget

As always I am interested in suggestions to improve the deck.
