Hi:)

After my very popular Nekusar Primer, I want to bring in another Prime with my fav deck of all time - URZA.

@morganator2.0 - I am looking forward to your feedback :D

Morganator 2.0:

--- Quote from: hollaz90 on December 08, 2023, 10:32:56 am ---In most cases, a good starting hand will look like this:

3 mana sources (For example Mana Crypt, any Mox or Sol Ring)
1 counterspell (For example Force of Will)
1-2 Island
1 value card (For example Rhystic Study)
1 Removal spell (For example Pongify)

--- End quote ---

That's a lot of requirements for a starting hand. I can't imagine you get this all of the time, or even most of the time. Especially considering that you want 3 forms of mana ramp but only have 11 in the deck. Are there parts here that are more important than others?

What's your search target with Tezzeret the Seeker and Arcum Dagsson?

What do you typically copy with Phyrexian metamorph and sculpting steel?

How good is Unwinding Clock without Vedalken Orrery? And how often does Omniscience help you out if you can already produce a lot of mana?

For your matchups, how well do you fare against decks that are trying to set up a combo? How do games go against token swarm decks, stompy decks, and voltron decks? What happens when you go against a stax deck or a strong control deck?

I'd also like to know about some of your inclusions and exclusions.

Why did you include these cards?

Arcum Dagsson
Chimil, the Inner Sun
Displacer Kitten
Essence Flux
Ghostly Flicker
Midnight Clock
Proteus Staff
Shark Typhoon
Spell Pierce (instead of Flusterstorm)
Spell Swindle
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
Thopter Spy Network

Why did you exclude these cards?

Arcane Denial
Delay
Fabricate
Fetchlands (to pair with Sensei's Divining Top)
Gemstone Caverns
Mox Diamond
Narset's Reversal
Negate
Reshape
Sapphire Medallion
Whir of Invention
Windfall
