Based off of this deck: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/mvua08AXu0qk8gidVtS60g

Core elements of Zur playstyle are intact including stax, pillowfort, and enchantments but the main mechanic of the deck is cycling. Namely searching for Astral Drift or Astral Slide then blinking in creatures for value (Mulldrifter, Reflector Mage, Ravenous Chupacabra, etc.) The primer with the original list is very well-written and provides more details.

This is a budget version of that list, except for the Marsh Flats and the foil commander.
