This is meant to be a more competitive deck for me, built with the following in mind:

1) Kill ramp decks dead.
2) Not die to token decks.
3) Be relatively resilient to decks with recursion.

So, here's my solution: Ertai, the Corrupted Stax.

General: Ertai, the Corrupted

I do not have (as in, I do not own): Ravages of War, Imperial Seal, planeswalker Karn, or Grim Tutor.

Basically, this deck just accelerates into bombs and then Armageddons or otherwise locks down the board. Ertai stops the worst spells from resolving.

I play Zur too, and IMO you should think about running more token generators. I dislike mobilization, seems a little slow. I play Grave Titan as well and where is SKULL CLAMP! I also play lots of l33t creatures like Mulldrifter, Shriekmaw, Venser Shaper Savant etc that sac to Ertai once they've done they're duty. I also play Mishra's factory, Mutavault and inkmoth nexus because they feed ertai and are a great lock with Crucible. Cheers!
