I've finally built my dream deck. Here's the break-down:

Everything is a mana-rock; There's a ton of 0 cost artifacts that'll help you ramp with Urza on the board, but they also have a tertiary purposes if you need it. Tormod's Crypt Welding Jar Spellbook

Tutors!; Yes, you can tutor up some of your infinite combo's for an easy win. Drift of Phantasms is a flavor tutor that I love, but there's enough 3 cmc in the deck to warrant it for any situation.

Recursion; I only put 3 recursion cards because, well... the game shouldn't last that long. Yet, here we are with Emry, Lurker of the Loch being your go to if you can find it.

Value Building - Grinding through the Stax; Playing through your own stax can be a pain in the ass. Yes, you can turn some of your own stuff off, but not all of it. There's some fun things like Sai, Master Thopterist and waiting to casting your 0 cost artifacts. Of course Rhystic Study and Howling Mine pairs perfectly with Urza.

Want to be... Evil?; Cast Narset, Parter of Veils and Teferi's Puzzle Box or Windfall in the same turn to really piss your opponents off. Bonus- Drift of Phantasms tutors either piece to make this work. 9 mana to make every opponent discard there hand and draw one card is... chefs kiss

Protection; Pretty standard package here. 5 cards, staples like Darksteel Forge and a little flavor favorite Jhoira's Toolbox, it brings surprising reactions from remove on site to strongly discouraging attackers.

Just Say NO; I didn't skimp on the counter-spells and denial, 7 cards total with staples like Mana Drain and Fierce Guardianship as well as hyper efficient ones like Pongify to surprise your opponents.

Stax!; It's Urza, you already know what to expect. Just be careful of Ensnaring Bridge Sphere of Resistance and Meekstone as they affect you as well. Everything is easily tutorable though.

~:;~Win Conditions~;:~

Lot's of these combo's pieces have synergy elsewhere in the deck.

Infinite Mana, draw out your deck with Urza on the board;

Pili-Pala and Grand Architect

Aphetto Alchemist and Illusionist's Bracers

Ashnods alter and Deadeye Navigator

Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter with Prodigal Sorcerer to finish it off.

The Old Fashioned way; There's enough big creatures to make green mages give you a second glance with things like Metalwork Colossus, Phyrexian Triniform and a Treasure Mage to tutor one at will. Prototype Portal and Sculpting Steel is a fun trick to copy your stupid big creatures for 3 mana.
