This is my take on the Urza's Iron Alliance preconstructed deck from The Brothers' War. Honestly, this deck felt pretty strong out of the box, so I haven't made too many changes; it's mostly been swapping out individual cards without changing the overall balance or strategy. Here are a few notable ones:

Out: Filigree Attendant, In: Cephalopod Sentry

This seemed like a pretty straightforward trade up.

Out: Urza's Ruinous Blast, In: Their Name is Death

It's a bit harder to cast, but Their Name is Death seems much more likely to leave you ahead after the board wipe. You can still hopefully recast Urza afterward as well if you have a bunch of artifact creatures left.

Out: Scholar of New Horizons, In: Ornithopter of Paradise

Simpler, more flexible ramp, and it's an artifact creature!

Out: Marionette Master, In: Myriad Construct

You have to jump through a few more hoops, but with kicker especially Myriad Construct can potentially get you an awful lot of artifact creature tokens in a typical Commander game. These all power up Urza's Constructs and every other piece of artifact synergy in the deck. Even if you can't target Myriad Construct with something, it's potentially just a very large creature.

Out: Swords to Plowshares, In: Dispatch

You should always be able to get the exile effect out of Dispatch, and you don't have to give the opponent any life. Maybe this is too greedy? I guess I'll see!

There are about a dozen other changes along similar lines in the decklist. I'm sure I'll adjust this more as I play it, but I'm trying not to break what's working so far.

In: Hangarback Walker, Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage, Efficient Construction, Counterspell, Thran Dynamo, Vault of Champions, Thriving Moor, Thriving Isle

Out: Tawnos, Solemn Survivor, Sharuum the Hegemon, Thopter Shop, Relic of Progenitus, Liquimetal Torque, Meandering River, Island, Plains

These are mostly cards I got from Commander Masters drafts that fit in with the synergies of the deck. I'm a little surprised there were no counterspells whatsoever in here, so now there's one. I'm also liking the Thriving lands in 3+ color decks, since the second color can be whatever you need most.
