Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius artifact midrange and combo strategy led by Urza, Lord Protector. The game plan utilizes Urza's cost reduction for artifacts, instants, and sorceries to deploy mana rocks, card advantage engines, and token producers ahead of curve. The deck aims to assemble and cast The Mightstone and Weakstone, using its mana generation to activate Urza's meld ability and transform into Urza, Planeswalker. Once melded, Urza activates two loyalty abilities every turn, generating substantial card advantage, further discounting spells, and exiling opposing threats. The deck closes games by overwhelming opponents with large Construct tokens, animating artifacts into flying 4/4s with Cyberdrive Awakener, wiping opposing boards with Urza's -10 ultimate or an overloaded Cyclonic Rift, or drawing the library with Sensei's Divining Top and Mystic Forge.
