Preface

This is my first EDH deck. I pulled Urza out of a pack when hemming and hawing about starting to play Magic again after almost 20 years, and that kind of decided it for me. I know there are far better, scarier, nastier, saltier Urza decks out there. I don't really care - I'm putting my own spin on it because I just want to have fun.

Main Description

I'm literally banking on Urza, Lord High Artificer's second ability and adding redundancy through a high concentration of cards with "Affinity" and "Improvise," and including some cards with "Metalcraft" as a condition for their abilities/advantages. The Chief Engineer and Mycosynth Golem grant my artifacts "Convoke" and "Affinity," respectively- the former to cover for when my Commander is in the Command Zone and his ability is null.

So the goal is cheap stuff = more stuff.

My primary "win cons" (if you'd even call them that - again, this is not your typical Urza deck) are just bigass creatures that get beefy in relation to my artifacts. Broodstar is my ace-in-the-hole with its size and flying ability, especially if I can get protection attached to it, but Filigree Attendant, Kappa Cannoneer, and Master of Etherium are some less efficient backups that get better if I attach protection/buffs to them, too.

Combos

Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk= Destroy opponant's permanents

Palinchron or Peregrine Drake + Nim Deathmantle + High Market= Infinate Lifegain

Dross Scorpion + Witch's Oven + Myr Battlesphere + Nim Deathmantle= Infinite Food and Myr Tokens

Witch's Oven + Palinchron or Peregrine Drake + Nim Deathmantle = Infinite Lifegain/Food Tokens

Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Corridor Monitor + Mirran Spy + Witch's Oven= As many Food Tokens as my mana allows; bonus card draw if Vedalken Archmage or Secrets of the Dead are out, too

Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Psychosis Crawler + Mirran Spy + Vedalken Archmage or Secrets of the Dead + Hangarback Walker (in Graveyard)= Infinite Damage/Mill
