"Fair" Urza win cons
Commander (EDH) forum

Hi everyone, i want to build a "fair" urza build which in my opinion basically means: no stax and no infinite combos. I would like to know some suggestions about the possible win cons i could add to the deck (i'm on a budget so no >10$ cards). The ones that i had in mind were:
1) Construct army thanks to: Masterful Replication, Deadeye Navigator (without infinite mana i can't go infinite with constructs), Panharmonicon, Conjurer's Closet, Mirrormade, Karn, Scion of Urza and Mechanized Production
2) Token army: Efficient Construction, Thopter Spy Network, Sai, Master Thopterist, Genesis Chamber+Myr Battlesphere, The Antiquities War and Mirrodin Besieged
3) Mechanized Production or Mirrodin Besieged direct win condition
4) cast many spells with low cmc + Aetherflux Reservoir
If you have any other ideas for win cons it would be great.

Raging_Squiggle thanks for the advice, however i would run a lot of cheerios and they would die to that card... i'm not sure if it's worth adding..

Grafted exoskeleton on a construct with manifold key/rogue's passage. Is it fair? Well they have multiple turns to take care of the infect but you'll at least take 1 person out lol

The issue with Urza is even at his most fair he is way stronger than a vast majority of other budget builds. You have essentially named off the best things he can do on a budget. Urza doesn’t need crap tons of money to become unfair. I will say you’ve listed the best cards so far just be careful because you are just about infinite. A more fair commander for mono blue artifacts is Emry, lurker of the loch without mirran spy/chakram retriever. She’s a lot harder to make unfair and you could eventually upgrade her into something more serious. Another budget and safe option is Sai the master thopterist. All in all just make sure you enjoy the deck, but accept unless you play slowly Urza will still probably be slightly unfair. Hope I helped in anyway.
Edit— try running all the zero drop equipments and cards like blackblade reforged on a budget. Urza is a beast with voltron. You can still tap the ones he has equipped too.

You can go voltron or slap people with a giant construct. You can tap your equipment to pay the equip cost!

VennyIsAsleep4119 i've built a more "classic" urza deck with the usual stax and combos. In more causual playgroup that build is far op. That' s why i was thinking about a more "fair" deck based on combat damage or direct win cons that are slow such as Mechanized Production or Mirrodin Besieged.

March of the Machines is a personal favorite of mine in my casual artifact decks.
