How to Win

The Idea is to restrict and to tax everything your opponents want to do - and then win with commander damage (Ethereal Armor, Empyrial Armor, Battle Mastery, All That Glitters, Helm of the Gods) or even infect from Phyresis. If this doesn´t work - combo with Rest in Peace and Helm of Obedience .

Try to protect Zur the Enchanter so he can attack and fetch Vanishing. After that it is so hard to remove him. Try to interrupt the most powerful deck, until you can finish them.

Nice to have an Answer

With Zur the Enchanter as a Tutor, you can react to your opponents decks.

If you play vs.

• Arifacts and Entchantments --> Aura of Silence More Mana to Cast and Removal for Threats.

• Decks that rely on theire Commanders --> Imprisoned in the Moon or Nevermore

• Many cheap Spells --> Oppression

• Hasty Tokens, Creatures that try to kil you --> Propaganda

• Combo Decks --> Rule of Law to stop at least some of them

• Decks that rely on Graveyards --> Rest in Peace

• Tokens --> Virulent Plague

• Some specific Cards --> Solemnity

Better save than Sorry

• Rest in Peace + Energy Field - prevent all DMG

• Necropotence + Solitary Confinement - prevent all DMG and you have Hexproof

• Solemnity - Phyrexian Unlife - can´t die for having 0 life

Nice Mana Base you have there

• Winter Orb / Back to Basics / Armageddon + Signets/Talismans/other Arifact Ramp or/and Zur the Enchanter on the Field

• Armageddon / Strip Mine / Wasteland + Crucible of Worlds

Blue says "Nope"

• Counterbalance + Sensei's Divining Top
