Deck overview

This deck is an Esper artifact creature aggro-midrange strategy led by Urza, Chief Artificer. It leverages affinity for artifact creatures alongside cheap mana rocks and artifact lands to deploy the commander ahead of curve on Turn 4. At each of your end steps, Urza produces a scaling Construct token that grows with your total artifact count, while granting all artifact creatures menace to bypass blockers. Strong support engines like Sai, Master Thopterist, Urza, Lord High Artificer, and Losheel, Clockwork Scholar expand the board and draw cards rapidly. The deck protects its tall threats using Bronze Guardian, Indomitable Archangel, and Unbreakable Formation while disrupting opponents with efficient spot removal and sweepers like Cyclonic Rift and Urza's Ruinous Blast. It steadily closes out games between Turns 6 and 7 through overwhelming combat damage.
