MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Friggin' amazing. Gives me a hope that besides the crazy scientist world, there will be some special cards referring to other jokes in the Magic multiverse.

That Goblin is drinking the bottle of Cryptic Command, isn't he? But why is it black and white?

It always a good thing to seek to unnerstand your enemy. You gotta walk a mile in his shoes to unnerstand him, right? Dat way, if he still your enemy, you a mile away and you got his shoes.

No, no I know that in the main story Gerrard kills Urza but in Unworld Urza survives as a disembodied head. But on those sleeves he looks awful dead. I wonder who killed the head of Urza is what I mean.

The thing about Urza surviving decapitation isn't just an Un-set thing... he does live on for a while as a disembodied head during Apocalypse, before Karn has to harvest the powerstones keeping him alive to complete the Legacy.
I don't think Urza's Head is dead. Death Grasp Urza has white eyes for some reason.
It seem to me that his eyes are closed there. In Urza's Hot Tub, he seems to have normal eyes with pupils, which is a little worrying concerning his well-being here. I certainly hope that the head is alive and well!
Urza having normal eyes with pupils would be a mistake considering I can't find any other art of him where his eyes aren't white including the newer Urza's Rage from Phyrexia vs Coalition.
I don't think Urza's Head is dead. Death Grasp Urza has white eyes for some reason.
In practically every picture of Urza his eyes are white, because those aren't his eyes! They're the Mightstone and Weakstone. He's biologically blind, but he can "see" the world around him through Extra-Sensory-Perception. I bet it looks like how when Neo looks "through" the Matrix to see the underlying code.
But yeah, he's not a DeadHead, but I imagine he's more like the Amazing Screw-On Head. Essentially, Urza mounts his head on the Mana Screw so he can "screw into" a Sundering Titan body he could control when he needs to kick ass, screw into an Ornithopter when he needs to get somewhere in a jiffy, screw into a Platinum Angel body when he needs to pose for a swimsuit calendar, etc.
(Edit because I thought it was the Meekstone, but it turns out to be the Weakstone. Mah bad.)
