Secret Commander Urza by mordonextra

Format: Commander

Commander: Atraxa, Grand Unifier

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Atraxa, Grand Unifier pilots a four-color artifact-value deck that uses ramp and cost reduction to resolve its 7-mana commander, turn one reveal into a multi-type grip, then deploy artifact threats and recursion to win through evasive combat. Primary plan is a midrange artifact army: Myr Battlesphere, Urza, Lord High Artificer, Shimmer Dragon, Cyberdrive Awakener. Secondary plans are slower: Mirrodin Besieged's Phyrexian graveyard race, Mechanized Production copy race, and a Sharuum/Metamorph recursion loop that generates value but has no automatic kill. There is no hidden commander; Urza and Sharuum act as build-around engines. The deck is resilient but not fast, relying on volume rather than combo.
