Deck Description

This is a budget-friendly Combo-Deck centerd around a Combo of Iridescent Drake, Unhallowed Pact and Altar of Dementia. It is not super fast when compared to a Tier 1 deck but ist has a good chance to go of between turn 6-10.

If you want to play this in your playgroup make sure Infinit-Combos are cool with everyone.

Upgrades in the Landbase, Ramp, Tutors and Counterspells would give it more Tempo and reliabilitiy but since Force of Will costs about as much as this deck...

How to Play

Iridescent Drake/Boonweaver Giant + Unhallowed Pact/Abduction/False Demise + Altar of Dementia form the central Combo of the Deck. It allows you to instamill everybody you want to.

Since the Combo produces infinit Gravestorm, we can play Bitter Ordeal to have an answer to Eldrazi-Titans.

When Altar of Dementia is not available we can use Ashnod's Altar instead to have infinit mana and drain with Exsanguinate.

Important notes: You only need Altar of Dementia on the battlefield and the other parts in your Graveyard. When you attack with Zur you can search for Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead to get back Iridescent Drake which gets back Unhallowed Pact.
You can get everything you need back form your Graveyard. Milling yourselve with Mirror-Mad Phantasm or Altar of Dementia is a legit way to dig for parts.

To play around Counterspells: You can protect yourselve with with your own counterspells but it is also important to remember, that Zur does not cast the enchantment so most counterspells can do nothing about it. Also: The only counter/removal you realy have to fear ist an exiling one. When both your altars are in exile you have lost, so keep up a Dispel, just to be save.

I will answer questions in the comments.
