Urza Deck- Looking for feedback
Commander Deck Help forum

Hello, I'm putting together my Urza, Chief Artificer deck and I am concerned that I may not have enough colored mana sources, lands, and instants. My win conditions focus on Blightsteel Colossus, Mirrodin Besieged, and Mechanized Production. Some combos are built in with Sidri to give me unlimited colored or colorless mana. Am I spreading myself too thin, not including some really important cards, etc? Thank you!

Gidgetimer thank you, how many lands should I have in this case? I'm used to building decks that have at least 38.

With an average CMC of 3.5 I'd go with 34-35. My decks usually have an average CMC in the 2.4-3.0 range and I run 32-33. Xenagos is 3.78 and I run 35 land with 16 ramp and rarely ever have problems with mana. You are running 12 ramp and Smothering Tithe so 35-ish should be fine. There is no way you need the 40 that were in the deck when I first looked at it.

You have plenty of colored sources, entirely too many lands, and I don't really have a "preferred number" for instants. Each one needs to have a place to be included.
