Deck overview

This deck is an optimized Azorius artifact combo-control deck led by Urza, Lord Protector. The commander acts as a reliable cost reducer in the early game and a late-game value engine when melded into Urza, Planeswalker alongside The Mightstone and Weakstone. The primary game plan accelerates into an infinite colorless mana combo using Basalt Monolith and Forsaken Monument. With infinite mana online, the deck casts or tutors Walking Ballista to eliminate all opponents in a single turn. Dense artifact tutoring from Whir of Invention, Fabricate, and Reshape ensures high consistency. Meanwhile, a robust interaction suite featuring Fierce Guardianship, Mana Drain, Dovin's Veto, and Silence defends the combo and disrupts opposing strategies. If the main combo is disrupted, the deck pivots smoothly to Enter the Infinite or overwhelms the table with high-value artifact beaters.
