Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter
Legendary Artifact Creature — Thopter
Flash
Flying
You may cast colourless spells and artifact spells as though they had flash.
Whenever you cast a spell, if the amount of mana spent to cast that spell is greater than this creature's power, put a +1/+1 counter on this.
RiotRunner789 on When does Bracket 4 move …
3 weeks ago
Played a game recently with a player known to play absurd decks. I was playing Auntie Ool, Cursewretch modified precon which I would consider bracket 2. Another player was playing Kastral, the Windcrested with a Tempest Hawk theme (also would consider a bracket 2, maybe even 1). No idea what 3rd player played because we didn't get very far (mono white maybe?).
The issue was the 4th player who played his "strong bracket 3" Zhulodok, Void Gorger. Having played him and the deck before, I knew the match wasn't going to be fun but despite the pre-game conversation, he said he was playing bracket 3 (different but aggravating issue).
On turn 3, he played Scorched Ruins which let him cast his commander (Zhulodok, Void Gorger). I convinced one player to blow up his only land to slow him down (Generous Gift). I blew up a land un-tapping artifact with Putrefy. So, he went into turn 4 with no lands. He only had a 3/3 token and his commander.
He dropped an Ancient Tomb, some ramp piece and played Bygone Colossus, which led into Void Winnower and several other cards including Excalibur, Sword of Eden dropping that turn (not in that exact order). He swung for 17 commander damage that turn. He effectively locked myself and the bird player out of the game with winnower. Turn 5 he drops ~20 permanents, including Darksteel Monolith and Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter. He was then able to tutor All is Dust. We all scooped when he cast the board wipe at instant speed before his turn.
This is what leads into my question. When he was exploding on turn 4 and 5, I asked, "How is this not competitive?" To which he replied while obviously annoyed, "Someone would have won by turn 3 already." Has the competitive meta changed so much, that any win post turn 3 isn't cEDH? His build, to me, came off as bracket 5 since it was insanely resilient. Where is the line between bracket 4 and 5?

Ultimate Urza Theme Deck

It might be due to balancing issues, but neither having Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter nor any of the Karns in here seems like a major oversight.

If you are Running Trazyn lines, Necrotic Ooze is pretty good.
Razorlash Transmogrant is another creature that can trigger our Commander.
Nim Deathmantle goes infinite with our commander.
Been playing Imotekh the Stormlord since the precon came out. Just rebuilt him after the dockside ban. Been loving it.
Some really good cards that have impressed me are:
Cyberman Patrol when I can’t combo, this guy has been really good for draining ppl through combat.
Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter and Shimmer Myr have been amazing. Giving us acces to instant speed and their cost is reduced by are cost reduction on artifacts.
The Mycosynth Gardens is really good at copying whatever you need at the time. Cost reduction artifacts, mana rocks, etc.
Just tried out Fomori Vault. Card is really good here allowing us to dig deep and discard a key card.

I started running Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir as a means to protect my combo turns in addition to the flash but yeah his cost is pretty steep. Leyline of Anticipation is nice when in your opening hand and that's about it so I think it might be time for a replacement. I like Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter but what do you think about Skittering Cicada instead? The body isn't as good without flying and the permanent counters but the upside is it dodges a stray Vandalblast or other artifact removal. One downside to these though is they don't let me flash in Yedora, Grave Gardener before I combo off.

What about Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter as a source of flash since it closes less mana than Leyline and Tefri?

wallisface Yep yep, I put a bunch of flash support (Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter, Leyline of Anticipation, etc) in the deck for that reason

Buried Ruin - Recursion
Sanctum of Ugin - Tutor
Basalt Monolith + Forsaken monument =
Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant + Emrakul = Good synergy. Hourglass helps with recursion from a vandablast.
Maybe a Vedalken Orrery/Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter/Skittering Cicada for flash so you don't overextend as easily? Colorless decks almost always have high cmc and lots of artifacts so any opponent worth their salt after a few games should recognize this and adjust their plan. This helps keep them guessing. Not necessary but nice to have.
Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + 2 mana = + top = Cast your entire deck
Rings + Voltaic Key (swap out manifold) + everflowing chalice (4 counters) =
Metalworker + Rings + Voltaic key =
Card Draw - Colorless doesn't have too much, you already run both kozileks which is great. Commander is a value engine which is nice. You could add a Staff of Nin for more but IMO it's not needed. How do you feel your card situation is?
Removal - Colorless has expensive removal options, you have all the good ones. Everything seems solid.
Mana Curve - A bit high but understandable for a colorless deck, especially with your commander. You could add more ramp should you feel you need. I usually recommend the most ramp in Kozilek commander decks because your commander is a draw source but here I'm unsure. Your ramp seems sufficient, how do you feel?
