Looks fun for casual play, but why is it called Urza?

Blind Seer

It's just a name referencing a blue deck.

Um, have enough counter spells? :) People playing around counter magic will have you beat, i.e. Aether vial, cavern of souls, and when your tapped out.

Definitely but this is only a casual deck which serves as practice vs control decks. Given the high amount of counters it accomplishes that rather well. Besides it makes it more fun and there is 6 bounce spells for anything that get's thru. This deck is almost never tapped out. All the cantrips stock your hand and make sure u hit all of your mana drops. EOT actions typically always put a card or two in your hand.

That being said, I can constantly beat this deck by playing around the counters like u said. I play against this deck almost daily though. To people who aren't prepaired for it it can be a steam roller, especially game 2 when alternate win-cons come in.

The thing this deck really wants is a board wipe though...

With the name of this deck, I assumed you'd be using the Urza lands. (ie: Urza's Mine, Urza's Tower, and Urza's Power Plant)

In fact, this deck is already very similar to Mono-U Tron. Urza lands are referenced as Tron land, fyi. It's mono-blue control that relies on having way more mana than your opponent to be able to cast things like Repeal, Condescend, overloaded Cyclonic Rift and win-cons like Platinum Angel and Sundering Titan. Mono-U Tron (Modern<$300) is my version if you want to check it out for some ideas. It's much more powerful against decks that can play around counters because it runs a toolbox that Treasure Mage can fetch into to grab whatever you need for your current situation.

I actually already have a good tron list UNFΔIR TRON DECK 2 BUY

This deck actually shares it's mana base with my control deck (that will 1 day turn into fat boy control)

Also, Dismiss and Cryptic Command are counterspells that draw. 2x Back to Basics would be good in here as well. You need another way to slow them down, other than counterspells. Back to Basics just shuts down a lot of decks, but if you only use fetches and islands + 2x Ghost Quarter/2x Tectonic Edge then you're golden.

This actually has 2 edge 2 GQ right now. Had to steal the ghost quarters for my zombie pox SB.

I wanna keep this modern legal. I was just testing this out with cruise but this is the actual current form of the deck so comment here instead
