Urza isn't getting banned, people. IT took them how long to ban Emrakul, the Aeons Torn? Five plus years for Prophet of Kruphix.
The RC is very, very laissez-faire with the format. If Paradox Engine has survived this long, and the silly mana rocks, Urza will be fine.
I mean, he is busted but he is Urza, so we expected him to do absurd things. Wait a few ban cycles and go from there.
This isn't the greatest argument when Emrakul got banned in 8 months (3 Ban announcements after release but still pretty quickly), Griselbrand after 3 months and Worldfire after 3 months (both in the ban announcement after release).
I am not saying Urza will (or should) get banned but there is precedent for the RC to take somewhat immediate action for cards they feel are detrimental to the format and Engine *not* being banned isn't necessarily an indication that they will just let something run rampant if it is truly hurting the format.
leovold is another example of why urza could get banned
you could potentially win without trying and before they even have a chance to stop it
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.
Probably zero chance of this happening. We will get pre-Phyrexia version. "Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes" or "Yagmoth, Traitor to Thran" or "Yawgmoth, Father of Phthisis"
Same reason we're getting this version of Urza and not the one everyone knows can't see print due to power levels. (Same. exact. problem. w/Yawgmoth.)
Forget it that arguement is irrelevant
If they can do urza they can do yawgmoth
As a matter fact while they were previewing the card the first thing that came to their mind is that urza could get banned In edh and they right it’s even easier to win with him than Arcum Dagsson
After 26 years urza hits black border at long last and I’m happy
And he’s power level is astronomical on this card this is the most perfect mythic feel card ever print
The only thing im upset about is he’s not atleast grixis because he definately has black and red knowing cards depicting him
Edit: it’s urza before he got the other 4 colors

maybe urza is part of a cycle
serra is the W
urza is the U
maybe its a cycle of first time card characters
gix for B
gaea for G (might be the art from way eariler by maro)
i dont have a idea for red
