Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Urza, Lord High Artificer leads a blue artifact-combo deck. The primary plan is to flood the board with cheap artifacts, reduce costs, and use Urza to turn every artifact into mana and card advantage. The main kill is Isochron Scepter imprinted with Dramatic Reversal, producing infinite untaps and infinite blue mana with Urza, then tutoring Walking Ballista from the library with Urza's {5} ability. Secondary paths include animating artifacts with Cyberdrive Awakener, beating down with Construct/Thopter tokens, and taking permanents with Memnarch. Interaction is counterspell-heavy with a small bounce package, and recursion via Emry, Trawler, and Academy Ruins keeps pieces available. Urza is the sole build-around; there is no hidden commander.
