Maybeboard


cEDH Zur deck using proxies. Set up Rule of Law, throw in Stasis, then either use tokens or a big bad Zur to win the game via All That Glitters, and maybe Copy Enchantmenting it. On the look out for more interaction, it's pretty hard to have too much. This deck is aiming to be fairly optimized at what it's trying to do, so feel free to offer suggestions, budget doesn't matter, it's a proxy deck. Since I'm not used to building without a budget in mind, I'm probably missing lots of obvious inclusions at this point, but the deck usually plays better, finding it much easier to do things like cast Zur with protection held up, this deck doesn't want to rush the game generally, it's playing the long game and needs to generate value over time with Zur to make up for the preponderance of otherwise weak cards (one of the perks of a win con like Breach compared to one like Helm of Obedience is that Breach can do useful stuff when it's not part of a combo, Helm is almost always a dead card when it can't win you the game yet, so there is still issues with clogged hands, which is why I'm thinking I probably need to trim some of the clunkier win cons/tutors, possibly throw in some less clunky tutors and more interaction, though I still like the synergy of Rule of Law and Transmute not being cast.

So, should I just bite the bullet and make a point of running some wipes? I'd lose my board sometimes, but if I'm willing to consider wiping I'm probably losing way less. Obvious options include Out of Time (which can be a combo piece/creature lock, Zur can fetch it and a way to dodge it), Toxic Deluge (can be one-sided), card:cylonic rift (versatile and one-sided), and Winds of Abandon (explicitly one-sided, good versatility). There are other wipes to consider, but these jump out as obvious ones to consider.

Edit: Should Dispersal Shield be in here? Is 4 a high enough MV for this to sneak a jank card into my cEDH deck? 4 MV hits a lot of stuff, including many combo pieces, and key point it can counter an Opposition Agent cast in response to Zur attacking (unless Zur has Haste, then I'm just boned for living fast and dying hard), so that probably makes it worth a look. 1U for a pretty wide hard counter seems really good, I guess if I have Dovescape out I can even hit an Ad Naus? I mean, it'd be better than most of my so-so removal, this can help stop wins better than removal usually. If I have even a 1 drop out I can use it to counter a Consultation, and it can always counter a 0 drop if I have the lands out I guess? The floor is pretty low, but is the ceiling high enough to consider?

Edit: For the moment we're on Lotus Petal instead of Mana Crypt; Petal is more often helpful in getting Zur out a turn early fwiw, so I guess that's usually fine? This is an emergency placeholder, we'll see if I need to change it.
