Ethereal Armor is a natural fit for a Zur deck, as is Greater Auramancy. In fact, if you can get out Greater Auramancy before Zur attacks the first time, you don’t even need Diplomatic Immunity, and can instead search for something like Steel of the Godhead to protect him from dying in combat.

@poup  
You can also use Ethereal Armor. First strike and +1/+1 for each enchantment you control. Plus, it only costs 1W so you can pull it out with Zur.

@Fro66er  
Also you might consider Righteous Authority. You can’t search for it with his ability, but if you combo it with something that takes away your maximum hand size (like Reliquary Tower), and Necropotence (which you CAN search for) then every attack becomes deadly.

@poup  
jeez. that’s a lot worse.
 
hopefully we get some interesting cards this new core set to make some disgusting combos.

@Bardic_Knowledge  
Ah Zur, such a great commander. I assume you are running Diplomatic Immunity, that is usually the first thing a friend of mine grabs.

@poup  
It’s EDH. The commander is Zur, and the first two enchantments I’d grab with him are Propaganda and Ghostly Prison.
 
@Fro66er  
…How did I not think of that card? It’s even get-able with Zur!

@Fro66er  
oy thats pretty rough, my own personal 4th turn win combo goes:  
T1 Forest, wasteland viper  
T2 Mountain, Emissary, Farseek into Temple Garden  
T3 Mountian, Rubblebelt Raiders  
T4 Attack with everything, Raiders becomes a 6/6, then Bloodrush a Ghor-Clan Rampager and cast a Boros Charm for the double strike onto the Raiders making it a 10/10 with double strike and trample combined with the Emissary and the Viper that’s 23 damage.  
I’ve actually been able to pull this off.

@poup  
gruul is very fun. how’s this for a game? playing a pal of mine he was using azorius orhov he chose both for prerelese he’s a big fan of both.
 
turn one stomping ground.  
turn two mountain cast burning tree emmisary into zhurtaa druid  
turn three forest cast cast burning tree emmisary into zhurta druid cast madcap put on firt burning tree attack for five.  
trun four mountain cast gruul warchant armed target emmisary with madcap attack with both over.
 
he plays mono green now.

@Bardic_Knowledge  
That sounds pretty cool, just watch out for Eon Hub. Are you doing that combo in Legacy or EDH? My favorite combo for EDH right now is Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Mindmoil + Maelstrom Wanderer. Assuming I have 5 cards in hand at the start of the combo, I cast MW which, because of the double cascade, will trigger Mindmoil 3 times. Then because I am tucking my hand and drawing 5 new cards 3 times, that triggers Niv-Mizzet 15 times allowing me to deal 15 damage divided as I choose. The thing is, with my MW deck, it’s not uncommon for me to have a hand of 20+ cards, meaning this combo is often a game finisher. Assuming I can pull it off.

@poup  
I prefer a mix of Azorius and Orzhov. I love just sitting there and watching my opponents’ life drop without them able to do anything.
 
My most recent deck accomplishes this with a combination of Subversion, Agent of Masks, Enchanted Evening, and Opalescense (EE+O turns all lands into 0/0 Land Enchantment Creatures as soon as they hit the field, Subversion and AoM are “free” upkeep Extorts).

@Fro66er  
Rakdos is a pretty cool guild too, Exava is my 3rd favorite runner after Ruric Thar and Varolz. At the Dragon’s Maze game day, I got 5th place out of 16 people with a mostly Gruul deck that splashed white for Boros charms and Unflinching Courage. I only got out Ruric Thar a few times but I won every game that I did.

@poup  
Yeah l wanted to go Gruul but lve been Rakdos since RtR prerelease. Now that unleash got buffed with Exava l am very glad l did. l dabbled in gruul and boros thoug. for example l went 3-1 in dragon maze prerelease. with boros rakdos mix. l did have three of one gruul card though rubblebelt makka. too good as a closer bloodrush with battalion. lost to a scrubby orzov player becase l was land flood one game and the next nothing but spells. l mulled three times that second game. bad luck…

@Fro66er  
considering that I’m a Gruul player that would be great in my eyes

@poup  
l know but l only play standard. that would ruin every game what with all these new gruul cards. imagine borborygmos enraged Ruric Thar, the Unbowed  
Savageborn Hydra. l had that in mind. also l have this card like 5 times over just cant use it.

@Apokalypse  
I’ve already got Fling, Confiscate, Silence, Mind Control, and Dragon Roost as “reprints.”
 
I’m trying to make it a large set, but I’m stuck at 158/250(ish) cards. (In case you’re curious, my custom set can be found here.

@Bardic_Knowledge  
In my opinion, reprints make a custom set feel more like a real set, which is why I included them in mine. I kept the number down though. Too many reprints and it starts to stifle the flavor of a custom set.

Hmm… Must remember to review already-printed cards for the set I’m building.
 
Though, I don’t want the last hundred cards of it to be reprints or even effective reprints.

@Fro66er  
What do you mean too good? It’s a real card.

C&Ded!

omg this card would be too good.
