In all honesty, you're playing a fairly pushed commander already, a bunch of blatant cEDH cards, plus a nonsensical amount of counterspells and other 1-for-1s (or even worse, like with Force of Will, Force of Negation and March of Swirling Mist) not really fit for a casual game, that your premise of no-stax-no-combo-just-value doesn't make much sense.
Moreover, I don't understand many card choices, like: what's the point of having Rings of Brighthearth but not Basalt Monolith? What's the point of having Polymorph, Proteus Staff and Hullbreaker Horror if you run other creatures too? Where are the artifact creatures that's you're supposed to sacrifice to Arcum Dagsson? What creature is supposed to be blinked with Deadeye Navigator? What Displacer Kitten is supposed to interact with? But on top of all this, where are the artifacts that you're supposed to tap with Urza (most of them already tap for mana, the rest are too high-costed for it to make sense)? Am I missing something?
It looks like you've picked a plain cEDH deck and butchered it. Then, since the commander is stupidly pushed and it can still hold by himself in a casual table, you call it a value deck, but it's not. It's just a bad deck with a stipidly pushed commander.
Why don't you pick something like Sai, Master Thopterist instead? It would make for a decent value deck that would actually make sense...
First of all - Thanks for your feedback!
I play this deck only in high power or cEDH tables and have a really nice win ratio with it.
My gameplan is to play nice artifacts, control my opponents AND win with value cards OR an army of Construct Tokens.
Let's look at your questions:
- Counterspells: I play my Urza as an Artifact/ Control deck - which means I need to have a lot of answers for removal spells OR shut down combos from my opponents
-
Rings of Brighthearth: I use it to copy the effect of Urza or
Proteus Staff - I doesn't run
Basalt Monolith - but
Grim Monolith- Polymoprh /
Proteus Staff: I run only like 10-12 Creatures in this deck - so every creature will have an impact for my game.
-
Arcum Dagsson: I sacrifice the Construct Token that I'm getting from Urza
-
Deadeye Navigator /
Displacer Kitten: I can fetch them both with the Staff or
Polymorph - I
blink Urza with these cards - so that I am getting an ETB Construct Token
- There are more than enough Artifacts that i can tap with urza (vor example the construct tokens) - and i run most of all the good mana rocks.
So I didn't picked a plain cEDH Deck and butchered it. I play this deck like i like it and whats suits to my personal play style.
Let my just say: Feedback is always welcome and I'm thankfull for every tip BUT your comment is hateful, not objective and simply exaggerated.
I feeling that you just don't unterstand how I play this deck.
