Jitte and SoFaI existed when Stoneforge was printed. There is no real excuse not to realize how insane it is except new set sour grapes, which is what happened.
I never saw MM1 for sale at anywhere near $7 a pack. MSRP is nice but MM1's drastic under-printing ruined any chance the boosters had of being s "good investment"
Of course I have; have you? His treatment of his wife was awful; he never even wanted her, just the book in her dowry, but never took her feelings into account. Yes, he warmed up to her later, but that doesn't erase the selfishness of this act. He caused vast devastation due to his feud with Mishra (you can't possibly be making the claim that Urza's half of the Brothers' War was in self-defense). His obsessive pursuit of Phyrexia was much more personal vendetta than defensive crusade; you can liken it to Sherlock Holmes solving crimes to prove himself to himself, and that behavior is very UB according to Maro. Most damning of all, his behavior with the Titan Engines; he deliberately built a kill rubric into them to kill his fellow 'walkers. You can kind of see his flimsy justification with Szat, but he intentionally placed other walkers in danger from Szat without warning them of his plan, and in any case there was no need to put a rubric in Taysir's machine. Urza also ultimately betrayed Dominaria for Phyrexia, since he was (selfishly) fascinated with what he saw in the plane. Even when he came out of it, his proposed solution was destroying half of the world to spare the other half.
I think he was Grixis to be honest. I can see different versions of him at different times, but I can't ever see him Green and White is the second-weakest color, since he was never about preserving law and order in society-- he always set himself apart from society, made his own rules, and ultimately pursued what was best for him, not what was best for everyone. He did feel strong emotions and was sometimes led by them, which is very red, but he's definitely a blue core in a black shell.
Absolutely UB. Urza was a very selfish, power-hungry individual.
