This deck used to be led by Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, but I decided to modify it by replacing him with Urza and swapping out all the white cards for artifacts. I pretty much had most or all of the blue cards I already needed.

My main goal with this deck is to ramp quickly and then tutor for one of my infinite combos to win the game. I tried to leave enough lower powered cards in the deck so that I could still play it without tutoring for my combos and it would still be fun, but not quite so high powered.

Here's some of the combos I have:

• Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + mana rocks: generate infinite mana and use that to activate Urza's ability to exile cards from the library and cast them without paying mana costs. After I draw my whole library, I can cast Blue Sun's Zenith targeting other players and force them to draw their entire libraries and lose. Or I can cast Blightsteel Colossus or my Eldrazi titans and win next turn.

• Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + lands: generate infinite mana and go for the same library draw combo as above.

• Painter's Servant + Grindstone: I think most people are familiar with this one. When Painter's Servant enters the battlefield, choose a color. All cards become that color identity. Then activate Grindstone targeting another player, causing them to mill their entire library into their graveyard and they lose.

I also have a secondary "steal everything" strategy. Cards like Acquire, Bribery, Commandeer, Blatant Thievery, Rite of Replication, Treachery, Spark Double, and Expropriate help with that.

I have a secondary control/stax strategy. Cards like Winter Orb, Karn the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice, Fatespinner, Frozen AEther, Narset Parter of Veils and Propaganda all help with that.
