Zur's Lich Pact

Zur’s Lich Pact is an Esper (white-blue-black) enchantment-combo Commander deck built around Zur the Enchanter tutoring up strange “you can’t lose” enchantments and assembling lock/combo pieces.

Its main plan is to use cards like Lich’s Mastery, Nefarious Lich, Lich, Phyrexian Unlife, Nine Lives, Delaying Shield, and Solemnity to ignore or prevent normal loss conditions, often creating soft locks such as Solemnity + Nine Lives/Delaying Shield/Phyrexian Unlife. Zur finds many of these pieces directly, while tutors and recursion like Open the Vaults, Dance of the Manse, and Starfield of Nyx rebuild the board.

The deck wins through a few compact combos and alternate-win lines: Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond for infinite life drain, Approach of the Second Sun, or self-draw wins with Laboratory Maniac / Jace, Wielder of Mysteries enabled by big draw spells like Ad Nauseam and Necrologia. Overall,
