Saved commander deck
Zur the Enchanter
Lock down opposing commanders using aura-based transformation and phase-out effects like Darksteel Mutation and Oubliette while hiding behind Esper stax pieces. Win through resilient, high-impact combat threats or the classic Rest in Peace and Helm of Obedience combination.
Prompt: Crie um deck Esper Control/Prison/Stax focado em tornar comandantes adversários inúteis SEM matá-los. A principal inspiração é Darksteel Mutation: transformar o comandante em um Insect 0/1 indestrutível sem habilidades, deixando-o preso em campo e dificultando que volte à Command Zone. Use bastante redundância desse efeito, incluindo Darksteel Mutation, Imprisoned in the Moon, Witness Protection, Oubliette, Deep Freeze e efeitos semelhantes que removam habilidades, alterem tipo ou reduzam drasticamente o poder do comandante. Inclua também Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Rule of Law, Blind Obedience, Rest in Peace, Helm of Obedience, counters, taxes e remoções. Quero algumas criaturas como win conditions por combate: fortes sozinhas, evasivas e difíceis de remover. Não transforme o deck em Aggro. O foco deve continuar sendo Esper Prison/Control, com comandantes adversários presos em campo e praticamente inúteis.
