the deck looks sweet, but I'm curious, why no Helm of Obedience?

PlattBonnay: My deck doesn't use any instant win combos. I want my opponents to know exactly what's going to happen and I want to leave them powerless to do anything about it as the turns go on.

Just curious as to whether you'd be alright with uploading pictures of the alter's you've had done so we can see them? Always love seeing some sweet alters Love the deck!

Genesis94 Sure thing. I will try to get more cards uploaded as I have them gold bordered. Here are the cards that have altered art and a couple of samples of foils with 24k gold borders.

Here is the Zur Album

Well a +1 from me, nice deck for sure, but more importantly, the name is great!

:) Thanks. Yeah, it fits quite nicely.

January 27, 2015 1:46 p.m.

What, no foil ABUR duals? For shame. Lmao +1

gkilgore98 Absolutely gorgeous :3 Especially enjoy the Cactuar Vanishing, and the borderless Zur :D

canterlotguardian ??? I'm not sure what lands you're talking about. Can you list some?

Genesis94 Thanks. :) Yeah, I actually have an altered Phyresis that had Don Tonberry on it. The card itself has recently been cut because of redundancy.

January 27, 2015 4:46 p.m.

Lol I was making a joke that you don't have the Tundra, Underground Sea, or Scrubland in foil, but only because ABUR duals weren't released in foil.

canterlotguardian Did you check out my imgur album in the description? :) I at least tried to foil them in 24k gold leaf borders.

And I just realized what ABUR means. Alpha, Beta, Unlimited & Revised. Wow, that took me a long time to get.

How come you skipped things like Greater Auramancy or ways to recur your enchantments from the yard? What do you do if someone Krosan Grips your necropotence?

gkilgore98 says... #15

PlattBonnay I have Replenish to recur enchantments from the graveyard. I don't give my enchantments shroud, but I may think about putting Greater Auramancy back in to see if I can hard cast it after I get cards like Necropotence or Vanishing or Solitary Confinement out.

The only issue with Greater Auramancy is I have to decide what slot in the deck it needs to take up and I also would never tutor for it.

Very consistent and well-built deck! Do you find that you are getting enough mileage out of Stoneforge Mystic given that you have only two targets? I am considering running her in my Bruna list The Queen of Alpha Strikes with the same two targets as you.

Broliver Stoneforge Mystic pulls its own weight for sure. It'll either pull you one of the two equipment you always want to see at every stage of the game or it will be something you can pitch to Chrome Mox or just be another card in hand when wearing Empyrial Armor.

Excellent looking deck on paper. The mana Curve is on point, and your card selection is excellent.

Your attitude on how to play it and the feeling you want to give your opponents really reminds me of what I want in my Oloro deck, #SorryNotSorry. Perhaps you'll like it too.

+1

You have Daybreak Coronet, but no Stasis

I've always loved this deck ever since it was posted on YouTube. I really like the idea of the 24k gold leaf too.

I have Zur in Gold Dragonshield sleeves and that's about as far as I will go besides for foiling the deck out. I just prefer the foils with their pristine black borders.

Anyway this +1 has been a long time coming. Your deck was one of the decks that I used as inspiration for my Zur deck.

I would say add some Enchantment Creatures from Theros so you can get free creatures too

Are you going to buy a foil force of will out of eternal masters later this year

Misdirection? It is incredibly powerful.

The only red shirt in this deck is Zur. So who is the real general?

btw, Jean-Luc Picard is better. He had to fight the borg

I don't know why, but I look at the manabase first when I'm looking at some list here. Why do your run artifacts lands? The more people run Sol Ring and Mana Crypt, the more people will play artifact hate. That's what happend in my playgroup. So here every red deck plays Vandalblast. So why would you run the risk of getting also your land blown up?

Also why no Hall of the Bandit Lord?
