Competitive Build for Multiplayer Games

It took 2 decades to get it, but we finally have a legit commander-playable Urza card. And what a card for U-artifacts lovers!

Let's get straight to business.

Infinite Mana Combos:

1)Grim Monolith + Power Artifact // Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact

2)Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + 3 mana coming from non-land artifacts

3)Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth

Urza comes in as a great mana sink that actually ends up winning the game provided infinite colorless mana.

Notable exclusions, which you may find in the maybeboard, are Mycosynth Lattice and Deadeye Navigator. I wanted the deck to be as streamlined as possible, and those cards are a little bit clunkier than wanted, Lattice in particular. Deadeye might be a good addition since for 1 mana you actually get a golem, going infinite adding Lattice to the equation.

I probably missed some "must include" cards during my brainstorming, feel free to comment with suggestions, different approaches, techs and suggestions!
