Why only Wizards? There is no wizard-synergy in there.

And Arbiter of Knollridge?

Not enough of a Zur deck and not enough of a wizards deck. Choose one or the other.

If you go wizards, I think you are in the right direction. You can cut white. Run sage's dousing in place of rune snag. Consider running the blue banneret to discount all your creatures. Need more wizard synergies. Consider sage's dousing and sage of fables. You'll be mostly blue. Spellstutter is excellent and you need to run at least 3. I don't find wizard cycling to be that great. You're really only tutoring for zur and arbiter. Maybe add teferi?

If you go Zur, you should be more toolbox style, running many 1-of enchantments.

No no, his Zur toolbox is fine. All you need is Oblivion Ring, Bitterblossom and Steel of the Godhead. Everything else is win-more.

I would definitely run Teferi over Arbiter. As lords go, Sage of Fables is way too slow. He doesn't do anything on his own. There is no point in keeping to one creature type only unless one does so because of some synergy or combo, and there is none of those in that deck.

3 Zur and 2 other cards (Steel) which wouldn't otherwise be played in any deck isn't that much dedication, really. 'Ring and Bitterblossom are good in such a deck with or without Zur.

In other words, apart from needing an iffy mana base, Zur can be played with virtually anything. So his choice of wizards does not add anything in particular to the deck. The moves he want to do is Zur pawnage or Mistbind Clique-ing from Bitterblossom tokens. In other words: he would be better off playing UBW Zur-Faeries than UBW Zur-wizards.
