Urza, lord of enchantment by fuse

Format: Commander

Commander: Urza, Lord High Artificer

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Mono-blue artifact midrange deck built to warp the game around Urza, Lord High Artificer. It accelerates out cheap artifacts and mana rocks, then uses Urza's tap ability to turn every artifact into a blue mana source and his {5} ability to cast spells for free. The primary win is a large combat step: a huge Construct boosted by Cranial Plating and protected by Eldrazi Monument, with Opposition and counterspells as the backstop. Secondary draws come from Maskwood Nexus with Distant Melody or Brass Herald. The deck is not a combo deck; it wins through overwhelming artifact value, a stax-y lock with Static Orb, and a resilient evasive army.
