Essentially, this deck is enchantment heavy, and, because of the commander choice, most of them are mana costing 3 or less.

Goals: Make Zur the Enchanter untouchable via enchantments like Spirit Mantle and Pemmin's Aura (more are coming to the deck soon like Aegis of the Gods and Shielded by Faith), increasing his power as much as possible (namely with Ethereal Armor, and also Enchanted Evening if I can get my hands on it). Then throw shenanigans out like Grim Guardian or infect with Phyresis. If Zur is destroyed, there are a few cards to prevent him going to the commander zone. There's also a couple creatures that can be mini-Zur's. (Bruna, Light of Alabaster or Auratouched Mage.

The next step is to add things like Mystic Remora, Energy Storm, Inner Sanctum, and maybe Mesmeric Trance. I could also add Tidal Control to be super mean. These have cumulative upkeep costs that I don't have to pay when I pull Solemnity out with Zur. (Cumulative upkeep works by adding "age counters". It starts with 0 age counters, and adds one each upkeep, then you pay the cost per age counter.) And if someone gets rid of Solemnity, I can return it to the field with many options, or just refuse to pay the initial single upkeep cost (or pay it for a couple turns as it's not much at the low end).

The other step has to do with Wall of Denial which looks out of place currently. That's because I plan to put more creatures in with high toughness and put High Alert and Behind the Scenes in the deck, which would give opportunity for automatic unblockable high damage to players, without needing to pull multiple enchantments with Zur (since he would do 4 damage by default instead of 1, and Wall of Denial would deal 8 damage.

The stupidest card I'm adding is Sphere of Safety which is currently shipping. It's self-explanatory.

Hall of Heliod's Generosity, and Cleansing Meditation, Brave the Sands, and Behind the Scenes are also high on the list to be added.

Please see the acquireboard before making recommendations, as I have some good ones.

Comments are welcome, if you recommend replacing a card with something else. I'm all ears!
