So the point of this deck is to just beat down the opponent or only allow yourself a turn. You are meant to be Urza while playing this deck, or at least get a feel of what it is like to be Urza in the multiverse of MTG.

I decided to try and make this a (mostly) style green deck that does green deck things, but in blue! The Eldrazi do Eldrazi things and the sea creatures flood lands and creatures. Also heavy artifact and colorless theme, with cost reductions being a sub theme, but only for you.

Then, as an option, when you, as Urza, you just stop everyone from playing magic, except you, with this combo:

Karn, the Great Creator+Mycosynth Lattice. Makes all the lands artifacts and stops artifacts from being activated. I didn't include Mana Web just so people can stare at their unused lands. This is game over generally at a table until you decide to blow Karn up. Never blow up Mycosynth.

Then, to shut down the opponent turns:

Unwinding Clock+Elite Arcanist+Time Stop+Mycosynth Lattice

Elite Arcanist is to chain cast Time Stop during each untap step, which everything sets you up for doing so and making sure you have the mana each turn as your lands are now artifacts and untapping every untap step. Every Blue players dream. You could also instead chain Nexus of Fate *list*. Again, once this happens, game is generally over and you win. You don't need Mycosynth out, if you have the big mana rock out. Chromatic Orrery. Pondering putting Thran Dynamo back in but it's cost versus functionality didn't work out. Even though it is one of Urza's creations.

Then once your board is built, and if anyone has stuck around, you use Blighted Agent, Dune Mover, or Blightsteel Colossus to force them out.

And, a great late game combo that can easily kill most deck moment, Echoes of Eternity+Ulamog, the Defiler. With the ramp and mana fixing this deck has, I've dropped this combo out turn 6, but T1 sol ring, with Ornithopter of Paradise. Puts you at a T2 Commander or T2 5 drop. It really gets out of hand fast with T2 Sol Ring.

Pondering adding in Donate and Illusions of Grandeur for an alternate win con, or easy opponent removal for that dude hiding behind buttloads of life.
