This is my take on the POWERHOUSE known as Urza. I built this deck to be a power level 9. Not quite cEDH as I chose to omit some of the expensive higher end pieces in exchange for some pet cards I enjoy, but its definitely close enough and can hold its own at cEDH tables. Playing against other deck of similar power level this deck has an 18% win rate with the average win turn being 6

The main goal of this deck is pretty simple, stax the table out with cards like Winter Orb and Static Orb until you can obtain any of your infinite mana combos. Urza's ability to tap the stax pieces for mana means you can "turn them off" before your turn starts so that you may take your turn uninhibited. Once you have infinite mana, activate Urza's other ability to essentially exile your entire deck and cast Thassa's Oracle or Walking Ballista for the win. Protect yourself with the assortment of counterspells and quickly run away with the game as you will be the only one playing. There are some other win conditions in the deck if you can’t obtain the infinite mana however, Mirrodin Besieged will start eliminating players with just 15 artifacts in your graveyard which is easily doable with Krark-Clan Ironworks. And Cyberdrive Awakener is an excellent overrun effect if you’ve obtained a critical mass of artifacts.

If you like my Urza deck then leave an upvote or comment with any suggestions. I'd love to hear what you guys think!
