Commander: Urza, Lord High Artificer

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Urza, Lord High Artificer turns every artifact into a mana source, letting the deck generate explosive mana while assembling a critical-mass artifact board. The primary plan is to assemble Basalt Monolith with Forensic Gadgeteer for infinite colorless mana, then use Urza's exile-and-cast ability to find Walking Ballista or Blightsteel Colossus and kill the table. Secondary paths include overwhelming combat from Cyberdrive Awakener, Mirrodin Besieged tokens, or a Mechanized Production alternate win. Urza's role is a mana engine and recursive spell-revealer; there is no hidden commander. The deck is a fast combo/artifact deck that can also grind via Tezzeret planeswalkers and recursion.
