Serum Visions: Episode 1 - Project Urza

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. 

 

For our first Project we try to give new life to an old friend. Urza, Lord High Artificer hasn’t been doing so hot in the modern leagues or challenges lately. We’ll go deep, exploring the history of Urza decks in modern, examining what made them powerful, and questioning why they’ve fallen from the top tables. With a solid foundation under us, we’ll see if we can rebuild the Urza decks. We’ll take some brews into the queues to find out.
