He's probably still alive, somewhere out in the tundra, having achieved the immortality he so craved.

This deck is meant to be story-oriented, and the counterpoint to my Jodah, Archmage Eternal Commander deck. The end of the Ice Age was brought on by the World Spell cast by Freyalise, and even though Zur wasn't involved in that and had nothing to do with the Cult of Rimewind, he is meant to be a "wild card" in this story-oriented battle between decks that mirror opposed ideologies in the characters of the story. This deck is as much about the machinations of Tevesh Szat, Lim-Dul, and Leshrac, as well as the plots of Heidar's Cult of Rimewind, as it is about Zur, who just happens to be there in the background of the main story occurring. I also have an Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck to represent the Phyrexians (both new and old), and a Sisay, Weatherlight Captain deck to represent the Legacy and the Coalition, and I love having these four decks face off and pretending it's all Time Spiral shenanigans. I enjoy big story-themed games of Commander. (I need to add the other decks to my profile still, but they'll be there eventually.)

This deck has some neat tricks and combos up its sleeves. Combine Herald of Leshrac with Zuran Orb for a one-sided Armageddon that gains you tons of life. The good old lockdown combo of Stasis and Kismet can really frustrate people's strategies. I'm working on fitting something into the deck to give Zur vigilance to interact with it better. You can use Zur to bring out Oblivion Ring or Seals to take care of spot removal when needed. Phyrexian Ironfoot combines with Hermetic Study to make a nice machine gun, just like Zuran Spellcaster and Pemmin's Aura.
