Deck Description

i know this deck has too much cards in it but because it's a zur deck you can search your cards all the time so if you think this deck is bad because it has 110 cards in it your dead wrong because you didn't tried it this deck is awesome and it's the best commander i ever saw. and enough talking just try it!

Deck discussion for zur the commander

Privileged Position and Armadillo Cloak wouldn't be legal (or castable with your mana base) in a Zur deck.

I prefer Phyrexian Arena to Underworld Connections just because it doesn't tie a land up. It won't get 2-for-1'ed by a Strip Mine, either. Same CMC so it's fetchable by Zur, too. You are forced to draw the card (and take the damage) each turn though, so maybe that isn't worth the downside for you. YMMV.

Maybe Ivory Mask/Imperial Mask over Witchbane Orb (I see you have Leyline already)? None are fetchable with Zur, but unlike the Orb they are tutorable with Idyllic Tutor and recurrable with Replenish. Plus that would put you at one less artifact enabling some artifact hate to screw over everyone else since most people have 10+ artifacts in EDH decks (Energy Flux is Zurable for one).

The people I play with tend to run a LOT of pain in the butt enchantments and artifacts, so I personally like to have a few more ways to deal with them. You have O-Ring, and you could also run the traditional Return to Dust or Oblation, but since you have Zur you could always go with Seal of Cleansing or Act of Authority since they're tutorable. However your meta may not run decks where it would matter in which case ignore that :)

Another meta-dependent thing to consider is a couple of pieces of land destruction. I like to have at least a Strip Mine and something else (Ghost Quarter, Wasteland) in my deck to deal with an annoying Maze of Ith or Kor Haven or Gaea's Cradle. You may not see that kind of stuff so it may not matter.
