What a Zur the Enchanter deck needs

Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• enchantments with mana value 3 or less (each attack puts one onto the battlefield) — auras for Zur, enchantress engines
• haste, evasion and protection for the commander (its own attack is the engine)

The Zur the Enchanter deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 7× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
• 22× A permanent of the exact NON-creature type the commander counts — artifacts for an artifact commander, enchantments for an enchantress
• 5× Make the commander connect — a body that never deals combat damage never triggers
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
• 2× Keep a permanent you control alive through removal
