This is my take on a Zur Deck. This deck has worked pretty well. The goal is to make Zur Very difficult to get rid of, boost him, and swing at everyone. Pretty straight forward. I have tried to keep my enchantments balanced between protecting Zur and boosting Zur and removing threats as well. Sovereigns or Lost Alara being on the battlefield allows me to one-shot someone with Zur (Search for Battle Mastery and Eldrazi Conscription).

The people I play with have significant removal, both spot and global, so I have been forced to look to back up plans and ways of getting a W. That is where Bruna, Light of Alabaster comes in. She has proven to be a solid late game win-con. Usually, if the game has gone long enough for me to draw her or search for her, my graveyard, hand, and battlefield are full of fun enchantments that make her a massive beat-stick/game-ender. Even Daxos of Meletis has proven to be a significant threat if drawn. In addition, there are several combos to try to shut down my opponents. I have also added infect to the mix with Phyresis and Blighted Agent. I have put in some light STAX, but I don't know if I'm willing to commit to that play style.

At this time I don't want to completely change how this deck is played (I'm not looking to switch to a combo deck), but feedback is welcome!
