When I stopped, I was still trying to figure out a good combo with the third ability. It could just be an infinite mana sink, but I wanted something different. But Urza's strength comes from the stax part. I'll try to finish it up, just for you.
Thanks, pal! I kind of wanted value from his ETB effect and then the ability to ramp into getting 2 or 3 or 4 activations from his third ability in a single turn. I don't want an infinite combo because then the deck becomes dull and repetitive. Trying to play the same cards every game to win. Doing the same thing. Which some people like, but I am not a fan of. I would rather
smash face with 5 10/10 constructs and activate his last ability hitting that epic
Emrakul, The Promised End or
Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger. In fact I need to update my deck list to include the Eldrazi Titans, but only the new ones. I opened Ulamog and Kozilek, and bought new emrakul.
Oh kewl story actually. So I was 15 and stupid cut me a break. I was in PA visiting family for Thanksgiving and my grandmother gave me $20 for being a "good boy." I spent it on 5 booster packs for BFZ (She was disappointed I "wasted" it.) I got an expedition
wooded foothills if I remember correctly. I never understood the point of fetchlands. Pay life for a land? Why not just play a
mountain or a
forest instead? Like I said, I was stupid. Still am, but less so. So I traded it in for another 15 or so packs. The guy said since I got one awesome card from that box, he'd open another one for me so I could hopefully get a good card out of that box, which I did. I got an expedition steamvents. Traded it in for another clump of booster packs. Opened them all and got crap. Got
dragonmaster outcast, which I thought was an amazing card at the time. Then the VERY last pack I opened of that last clump, I got new ulamog. Then I splurged and bought an Eldrazi deck.
Then Oath of the Gatewatch came out and my dad drove me to get a fat pack, and the price of gas was 1 pack, so I gave it to him. And the little terd opened up kozilek, but traded it to me for another pack, which didn't have anything special.
