Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck wants to cast Zur as quickly as possible and use Zur's attack ability to start grabbing enchantments out of the library to lock down the game. We're focusing on putting pressure on people's mana through cards like Desolation, Mana Vortex, and Overburden. Once the coast is clear, we'll lock everyone down with one of the Stasis lock variations we have available to us and finish the game through a combination of commander damage, drain triggers (Sanctum of Stone Fangs, Underworld Dreams), and poison counters (Skrelv's Hive).\n\n\nUrza's Saga hits:\n\tTel-Jilad Stylus - A piece of our best stasis lock.\n\tVexing Bauble - Protects against Force effects. Disables our Fore of Will, Force of Negation, Fierce Guardianship.\n\tPeter Parker's Camera - Double Zur triggers to set up combos faster.\n\tSol Ring, Chrome Mox, Lotus Petal - If extra mana is needed. Probably grab something else though.\n\n\nWeaknesses:\n\t-Forced sacrifice\n\t\t-Grab Skrelv's Hive to give a token buffer.\n\t-Boardwipe, Enchantments\n\t\t-This is probably our biggest weakness. Hold up a counterspell whenever possible.\n\t-Boardwipe, Exile\n\t\t-Kaya's Ghostform will allow Zur to remain. If additional triggers are available early in the game, grab Kaya's Ghostform before Greater Auramancy hits the field.\n\n\nHold counterspells for boardwipes and immediate threats. Opponent board presence isn't very relevant. If problematic permanents land, grab an Oblivion Ring.\n\n\nPotent non-fetchable additions (tutor targets)\n\t-Decree of Silence (with Solemnity, closest the deck can get to a hard lock)\n\t-Delney, Streetwise Lookout (Allows for good parity-breaking stasis. If Vexing Bauble has already been fetched, Tel-Jilad Stylus needs to be drawn/tutored too.)\n\t-Glacial Chasm (permanent fog with Solemnity)\n\n\nBasic Fetchable Setup:\n\t-Desolation\n\t-Shielded by Faith\n\t-Greater Auramancy\n\t-Estrid's Invocation (Greater Auramancy)\n\n\t-If Delney is drawn/tutored, go for the Tel-Jilad Stylus / Stasis lock\n\t-If a Monolith is drawn/tutored, grab Power Artifact for infinite colorless mana\n\t-Is Decree of Silence is drawn/tutored, grab solemnity. (Will be difficult to cast without infinite colorless mana from Monolith/Power Artifact)\n\t-If Glacial Chasm is drawn, grab Solemnity.\n\t-If additional mana pressure is needed grab mana vortex, mana breach, overburden.\n\t-If someone is playing an artifact strategy, grab Stony Silence\n\t-If combat damage is a concern, grab energy field + rest in peace or solemnity + phyrexian unlife\n\t\t-Rest in Peace hates on graveyard strategies and fogs all damage\n\t\t-Solemnity hates on +1/+1 strategies and randomly hates other cards, but the effect isn't relevant until we're at 0 life which isn't ideal. Also combos with Glacial Chasm and Decree of Silence (both need to be drawn/tutored)\n\n\nGenerically good enchantments to grab when possible\n\t-Necropotence. Draw cards, especially once damage negation is on board. Energy Field will not negate the life loss. Phyrexian Unlife will effectively negate the damage.\n\t-Skrelv's Hive can put infect pressure on problematic players and start to clog the board\n\t-Aura of Silence taxes opponents' spells and can remove problematic cards\n\t-Sanctum of Stone Fangs / Underworld Dreams will add pressure during stasis lock, otherwise not super impactful\n\t-Aether Barrier will tax opponents' spells and start to pressure their board presence.\n\n\nPotential Issues with Stasis lock variations\n\t-Forsaken City / Stasis\n\t\t-Requires pitching 1 card per turn. We don't have much card draw so running out is very possible.\n\t-Tel-Jilad Stylus / Stasis / Zur\n\t\t-Without drawing Delney as well, this results in no more enchantments from Zur. More of a stall than a lock.\n\nCombos:\n\t-Energy Field + Rest in Peace\n\t-Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact\n\t-Grim Monolith + Power Artifact\n\t-Solemnity + Phyrexian Unlife\n\t-Solemnity + Decree of Silence\n\t-Solemnity + Glacial Chasm\n\t-Glacial Chasm + Solemnity\n\t-Stasis + Tel-Jilad Stylus + Zur\n\t-Stasis + Forsaken City\n"}]}
