Oh my god. Years ago I made a fan-made Vanguard of Urza with that exact last ability (but cost 7 to activate). I can't believe I knew the character powers that well that it ended up being one of his abilities in a real card. I'm shocked. I would have preferred a planesealker version but I guess that's ok too, for EDH for sure.
At last, Commander players can rejoice at the fact that they can have an Urza deck whose commander isn't Blind Seer!
This is seriously nuts, though, and honestly this could see play in certain Affinity builds. The Construct is a great thing to equip Cranial Plating to.
Based on what we learnt about armies during War,he builds a robot army!
Urza and Mishra actually did just that during the actual Brothers' War, until Gix came along and caused them all to go berserk so the brothers themselves would be forced to confront one another.
He refers to his scion's ability.
He refers to Tolarian Academy (kind of).
He refers to Temporal Aperture.
Only minor complaint:like on Urza's Ruinous Blast,he is depicted in the most well-known planeswalker attire from Invasion block,instead of his mortal form. But I suppose it was made with the same reason like the URB - so that people recognize him.

Seems pretty awesome. 4 toughness is a good thing. He's not a planeswalker because he'd be so absurdly powerful that he'd come with a casting cost that would make him never see significant play.
They should take notes on this, because this is how you make a Mythic feel mythic. Not a character that everyone loves but is happy to see finally on a playable card not in an Un set. This ability is going to get abused in EDH and that's okay, because we all know Urza was a d**k.

Serra down, Urza down. Just one more to go. The biggest bad of them all. You know you want to do it Wizards.
Ugin had its time to shine - it's time for the REAL Ineffable to hit the scene.
maybe puts some juice back into Thopter/Sword; if you get the combo going with Urza out you win on the spot (or, at least, you get to put your whole deck on the battlefield)

I would be fine even if they just gave us Gix.

I love the synergy with Winter Orb, Static Orb, Trinisphere, etc.
I don't know that we can expect it, but we can hope. I mean, there already was Mishra, Artificer Prodigy though.
