"You designed great machines that could tear the fabric of reality?"

"Yes."

"You thought you could control the ancient beings that leak through the cracks?"

"Yes."

"What stepped through the portal?"

"Urza."

This deck was originaly commanded by Muzzio, Visionary Architect: Urza is simply a better fit. Muzzio serves now in the 99. The core concept of the deck is the classic mad scientist who overreaches in an insane quest for power. Eldrazi are incredibly threatening, but with Muzzio in charge the deck didn't always function as intended: he still drew a lot of hate.

This deck is designed to avoid infinite combo and to rely on Eldrazi as win conditions. Urza is such a good fit that I'm literally only swapping out a couple cards before trying him as commander. It will take some time to figure out what needs to change, but this is such a value engine I'm sure it will be fun to play. Urza is going to die a lot...

This deck is bonkers powerful, and only continues to improve. I'm very happy that I've stayed away from the more cliche combo builds, and Urza's lottery mechanic is fun and has a better payoff with the average mana value in the deck so high.

I don't play this anymore: it's too powerful for my playgroup. I'll still update it when I see an obvious upgrade somewhere.
