Urza, Lord High Artificer (The "I Have No Friends and I Want to Keep It That Way" Special) by Wigglewormz

Format: Commander

Commander: Urza, Lord High Artificer

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Urza, Lord High Artificer is the deck's engine, not simply a finisher. The primary plan is to accelerate into Urza, deploy stax pieces such as Stasis and Winter Orb, and convert a critical mass of artifacts into overwhelming mana. The principal win line is Dramatic Reversal imprinted on Isochron Scepter plus Urza and/or a pair of mana rocks, generating infinite mana; Urza's activated ability then exiles and freely casts Tidespout Tyrant or Hullbreaker Horror to bounce every opposing permanent and swing for lethal. Secondary paths include Bribery or Polymorph/Proteus Staff into a big creature, and a Planeswalker backup via Tezzeret the Seeker. There is no hidden commander or double-faced commander.
