My second attempt at a Commander deck. I saw Urza, Chief Artificer and thought to pick him up, especially since he has the 3 most powerful colors for artifacts

I'll add an introduction another time when I'm feeling inspired lol, but the card descriptions are just below

Artifact Creatures

Urza unleashes mechanical wonders upon the world:

• Esper Sentinel is cheap and can draw extra cards
• Signal Pest is elusive and brings Battle Cry
• Skrelv, Defector Mite is used to protect another creature from interactions
• Arcbound Ravager is great for recycling dying artifacts
• Cyberman Patrol grants Afflict, which when combined with Urza's Menace makes blocking painful
• Cybermat is a unsuspecting robot that packs a punch when unblocked
• Etherium Sculptor reduces artifact costs
• Ethersworn Canonist halts multiple non-artifact plays
• Razorlash Transmogrant and Scrapheap Scrounger rebuild themselves after breaking
• Steel Overseer makes artifacts increasingly stronger
• Master of Etherium is a beacon of metallic might
• Scrap Trawler recovers lost artifact creatures
• Silas Renn, Seeker Adept is employed to reanimate bodies from the scrap heap
• Skorpekh Lord is another source of Menace and power
• Cryptothrall grants valuable Hexproof
• Phyrexian Metamorph can enter as a copy of any other artifact or creature
• Bronze Guardian brings more protection with Ward and has great power and Double Strike
• Canoptek Spyder is an efficient flyer that provides card draw
• Dalek Drone is a flying menace that exterminates a creature and chips off the enemy
• Illustrious Wanderglyph grants extra stats and tokens
• Karn, Legacy Reforged is at least a 5/5 that provides mana for more artifacts
• Necron Deathmark is a swift riot control creature
• Research Thief grants more card draw to overpower the enemy
• Kappa Cannoneer has innate protection, gets increasingly stronger and won't be blocked most times
• Noxious Gearhulk another menacing beast that turns an enemy creature into energy
• Sharding Sphinx makes more flying creatures at a great rate
• Cybermen Squadron gives Myriad, which is very valuable in a multiplayer format and goes well with Menace
• Thought Monitor is an efficient flyer that refuels the hand

Organic Creatures

Urza has some friends that share in his vision

• Padeem, Consul of Innovation grants more Hexproof and good chances for card draw
• Sai, Master Thopterist delivers more tokens
• Vedalken Archmage makes every artifact played refund itself
• Vedalken Engineer helps with ramp and color fixing

Ramp

Urza understands that resources are crucial to cover the world in metal:

• Arcane Signet, Mana Crypt and Sol Ring are staple EDH ramp cards
• Liquimetal Torque is a mana rock with the option to turn something into an artifact
• Mox Opal is a precious relic that generates any color of mana
• Smothering Tithe punishes opposing draws with artifacts that help with ramp
• Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Hierarchy and Talisman of Progress are Urza's mana rocks

Removal

Urza is armed with terrifying spells to achieve his goals:

• Damn can function as spot removal or a board wipe
• Fracture takes care of opposing artifacts, enchantments or planeswalkers
• Vanishing Verse, Anguished Unmaking and Vindicate remove troublesome permanents
• Dispatch, Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares exile any opposition
• Organic Extinction and Their Name is Death are special nukes that spare artifacts

Utility and Tutors

Urza knows that ingenuity alone cannot conquer the planes, and so he must bolster his forces:

• Demonic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Vampiric Tutor and Fabricate are our tutors
• Cranial Plating grant extra strength to a suitable creature
• Biotransference turns flesh into metal and generates more tokens
• Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots speeds up and protects a creature
• Mirrodin Besieged is used for tokens if played early, or for an alternate win-con if timed right
• Tempered Steel grants an amazing power up to all my artifact creatures
• Rhystic Study is a staple card draw engine in the format
• Skullclamp draws cards when the equipped creature dies
• Thoughtcast will draw me some more useful cards

Hope you like this deck. Please do share your thoughts!
