I can see almost no reason for hinterland harbor. Almost no reason. Why use it?

thats the thing. Thats $10 that you could save. Also slightly less vulnerability to bloodmoon. I suppose its just me and i like to budget things as best i can, but to each their own. I agree if we ignore money hinterland harbor is a good choice.

Fetch Lands seem necessary to take full advantage of Deathrite Shaman and power out early Zurs and Geists. Can understand if it's a budget decision though.

I mean, i'm not from america, and here fetches are way more expensive than there. :/ But i'd love to use it.
I think i'll take the deathrites off. Do you have any sugestion for a replecement?

Zur can fetch any enchantment that costs 3 or less. You have devoted 12 slots to enchantments ... but opted to have only 4 different ones? I find that questionable, especially with the 4 Steel of the Godhead (because both lifelink and unblockable are redundant in multiples). Wouldn't it be better if you had a better range of enchantments with lots of different abilities to pick each time when Zur attacks? And shouldn't there be an enchantment on it that makes Zur hard to kill? And why do you have random stuff like a single Lingering Souls which could also be another enchantment?

Here are some suggestions for enchantments that would run well in this as one-ofs:
Gift of Immortality
Aura of Silence
Story Circle
Spear of Heliod
Daybreak Coronet
Greater Auramancy

Indeed this deck could use a few more enchantments. And a greater variety of enchantments as well.

True. Making a toolbox of enchantments (you could also include 1 or 2 that are out of your colours / mana level) would make your deck resiliant to variety of strategies. Keeping your major enchantments as 2-of would let your recast in case your creature was destroyed.

Or if you want to center more around Zur, you could include some totem armor enchantments to make him moroe resiliant, and a Vedalken Æthermage so that you can find Zur much more reliably.

Hey guys. I'm constantly using the enchantments that I have on sideboard.
@Puschkin - Awesome enchantments! But I think only three of them would fit well in this deck. Auramancy looks badass, but it gives them shroud. Which is bad for targeting other auras. Thank you! (=
@Jeri - Vedalken Æthermage is awesome! I didn't even know there was a card like that. haha Thank you!

Actually you can still put Auras on creatures with shroud if you get them with effects like Zur or Replenish:

7/15/2006: If you use Zur the Enchanter's triggered ability to search for an Aura, it will be put onto the battlefield attached to an appropriate permanent. It doesn't target that permanent. If no appropriate permanent exists for it to be attached to, that Aura can't be put onto the battlefield and stays in your library.

Kind of can't do that. Read Zur the enchanter's abilities again.

It screws non blue players, and cantrips. It's pretty good. Thing is I feel like this deck needs more . . . something. Maybe creatures? Also great as it is, lingering souls seems out of place.

Or it can give you a second blue mana source should you need it for whatever reason.

Arcanum Wings"combos" very nicely into any Aura, especially auras like Eldrazi Conscription :) And Arcanum Wings is fetchable with Zur :P

Hey I've liked this deck since you originally posted it, I just wanted to say you should add Bitterblossom to it.

I also used it partly as inspiration for this deck I just made. http://www.mtgvault.com/kmk888/decks/competitive-flock/ It's a deck that aims to swarm the air with flyers. It would be great if you could take a look. Thank you!
