THE KING OF CURSING! What it's Like Playing Zur the Enchanter in EDH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- For this month's episode of the Recruitment Office, I bring in a cool, funny, and all around decent Bad Guy from the West Coast: Brandon of MTGLexicon. We go into one of his favorite decks that has a bit of a nasty reputation. Have you ever considering playing Zur the Enchanter? (Post Malone does, just sayin'...)
Who will curse more; Brandon or Zur?

It's wild to me how so many Zur decks I see that sleep on Solitary Confinement. For the cost of skipping your draw step and discarding a card at the beginning of your upkeep, you (the player) have shroud, and you also prevent all damage that would otherwise be dealt to you. Not only does it let you evade the tech this deck runs on (player enchantments) but it also hoses any deck that relies on anything other than non-damaging global effects to win.
It's a 3 CMC enchantment so Zur can fetch it, and there's a ton of options to keep it in play in Esper colors. Necropotence is a Zur staple and can refill your hand. Honden of the Seeing Winds and Walking Archive keep it in play just for free. Eon Hub just skips your upkeep. It also combos perfectly with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic.
Nailed it!
I talked my Zur up so much that I was arch-enemy before I even checked my opening hand. He ended up with 4 casts from the command zone, and each time, he never got the chance to attack (no boots in hand). By the time they managed to kill me, all their targeted removal and board wipes were spent, and it was fun watching the chaos ensue. At the end I said to the table "Now imagine how bad it would have been if you'd let me attack with Zur." And they just kinda chuckled. I haven't played him since, though. I think I'm going to reanimate him.
I use the fraying sanity combo in my zur also I use it to grab reanimate enchantments and use tools like dark deal and oppression to get big targets like magister Sphinx and cataclysmic gearhulk..oh don't forget psychic corrosion with peer into the abyss for a fill board kill!!
Ayy. A fellow Curse-Chanter afficionado! Interesting the different direction I've gone compared to Brandon.
You can leave me hanging like that! What direction did you take yours in?
@@ChainofCommander It's more of a Stax/Taxes & Curses nowadays. Have a gander (ignore the sideboard though): manastack.com/deck/cursed-commander
You know me and ganders... I'll have them!
