The big question: did I miss anything essential for a Zur themed pillow fort?

The secondary question: I would like to economically improve my manabase. What do you recommend?

Hello all! I'm new around here (I just started playing again after a ten year absence). As such, I am a little out of touch with what cards (especially lands) are available and economical.

This is a deck I plan to build in the next month or so. I wanted to set it before the critical eyes of TappedOut before I punch the buy button on the various cards I don't own yet.

I am especially interested in things which help me deal with "destroy all *" spells. My play group uses things like Nevinyrral's Disk, Worldslayer, Catastrophe, Damnation, ect. all the time. We also play in pods of 4 so I really doubt that counterspells alone will be enough to stop all the wrath spells which will undoubtedly fly when they see my impending immortality.

This deck's main strategy is pretty much what it sounds like. I plan to use Zur's triggered ability to bring out enchantment after enchantment eventually making myself virtually indestructible. After that I make Zur unblockable, pump him up, and give him infect and double strike. Hardly a new strategy, but I think it will work for me :)

There are several combos in this deck that make me really hard to kill. The big obvious one is Rest in Peace + Energy Field. I round out the mix with Greater Auramancy + Copy Enchantment (on Greater Auramancy to make all of my enchantments untargetable). Then I force Mana Vortex into play with Zur sucking up everyone's mana for a while. Hopefully this buys me enough time to go totally over the top and kill everyone. I haven't tried it yet, and I look forward to anyone and everyone shooting this plan full of holes :D

To be clear, I don't really have any interest in spending hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on this or any other deck. Thus suggestions like Mana Drain are not very helpful in this case. I agree that it is a great card, and absolutely has a place in this deck in principal, but I can't / won't afford it. Basically the only "really expensive" card I plan to run is Serra's Sanctum (I just can't resist it).

Additionally, one of my goals is to make this deck fun for all parties. I think Stasis and Rule of Law + Erayo, Soratami Ascendant are great cards, but I would prefer not to lock my friends out of the game. Most of the time I would rather loose the game than prevent everyone else from having fun (which is what those cards do in my limited experience). Those cards are on the maybe board for now, but I doubt I will be running them unless I decide to try and make this deck fit a more competitive environment.

Finally, I would like to thank outofnothing0 -- the deck Zur's Perfection originally inspired me to try my hand at this. I won't be spending that kind of money, but I will sure admire the results of those who do :)
