I've been playing with weird Urzatron concepts and this is what I ended on. The eventual goal is to hit March of the Machines and swing in with big 'creatures' like Spine of Ish Sah. Ugin's Nexus is either a 5/5 body that gives you an extra turn when it dies, or a great sac outlet for Trading Post that lets you draw a card and take an extra turn. Ichor Wellspring, Chromatic Sphere, and Chromatic Star are cheap card draw. Expedition Map lets you fetch your missing tron pieces early game, Islands if you need them, and Buried Ruin if you need to fetch back another artifact. Mirrorworks lets you copy any of the effects listed above, and puts more bodies on the field.

I need to figure out a sideboard. I know that I need to include some alternate win conditions for decks that side in cards like Extirpate or Slaughter Games, since there is no way to deal damage without March of the Machines. My thought is just to include some actual artifact creatures. Cards like Blood Moon could lead to some serious slow down, and I think fast zoo decks will be a problem unless I can hit an early March of the Machines drop. Thoughts?
