Even though it's only ever been a fringe card, Zur the Enchanter has always been on my radar. After all, being able to both search your deck for a specific card and put it into play for free has historically been one of the best things you can be doing in Magic.
Meddling Mage and Geist of Saint Traft provide a reasonable aggro-control shell and additional Steel of the Godhead targets. The rest of the deck is filled with removal and disruption to ensure Zur's survival. If you get to untap with Zur, you should like your spot!
