Urza, Chief Artificer

Description

Urza, Chief Artificer is a formidable presence within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically released as part of the 2023 Magic Online Promos series. Identified by card number 105796 and marked with the PRM set code, this card stands as a Mythic Rare Legendary Creature — Human Artificer with a mana value of six. Designed by Bartłomiej Gaweł, the card blends white, blue, and black mana to deliver a versatile threat that rewards players who build around artifact synergies. The strategic appeal of this card lies in its ability to accelerate gameplay and apply pressure. It features affinity for artifact creatures, allowing the casting cost to be reduced by one generic mana for each artifact creature you control. This mechanic enables players to deploy a powerful 4/5 body earlier in the game, turning a typical late-game threat into an immediate board presence. Furthermore, all artifact creatures you control gain menace, a keyword ability that forces opponents to block with two creatures or deal combat damage directly, making it difficult to neutralize your army without significant investment. Beyond its offensive capabilities, Urza, Chief Artificer generates value over time. At the beginning of your end step, the card creates a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token. This token receives +1/+1 counters for each artifact you control, meaning the more artifacts you have on the battlefield, the larger and more resilient the token becomes. This dynamic creates a snowballing effect that can overwhelm opponents who fail to answer the initial threat. Collectors and players alike appreciate the intricate design and mechanical depth found in The catalog. The card’s unique combination of cost reduction, evasion, and token generation makes it a standout piece for enthusiasts of the format. Whether you are drawn to the lore of the Artificer subclass or the strategic possibilities of artifact decks, this promo card offers a compelling addition to any collection.
