I trophied with this Urza List in NBLM Yesterday.
The List has a lot of combo lines, its surprising how few resources you need to go off.
On the other hand it can be very clunky.
Still a lot to explore. As always feel free to shoot suggestions.

Feel free to shoot card sugggestions for the Deck.

Vintage cubing over the holidays gave me some drive to play constructed again.
Trophied the first Pio League with this Pile I threw together in 30 minutes.
The funny part is I played vs 3 opponents and had to wait 30 minutes for the last pairing. What a Format 🤣

@McWinSauce Nice list!
I am wondering if Lookout is worth the green splash.

@IslandGoSAMe @fireshoes @FaithlessMTG Interesting, missing some key cards though like the Vehicles and Sea Gate Resto.

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

I brewed up some interesting decks for Pioneer with the upcoming set around the corner:

UG Omni
Elfless Leyline Devotion
Three hits Creativity

Pretty excited to try them out and report back.

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

@BenFraley314 @fireshoes @FaithlessMTG I messed up the screenshot there are 6 big creauteres hiding, thanks for letting me know.
Full decklist is in the alt text of the original Picture.

@ZBexx Pretty sure mine is tap all + bounce Sanctuary

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

Classic Modo 3-2 😂

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

@SoIMBAGallade Well i am thinking of strategies that don't try to win by ground combat like engine decks that want to interact some.
The 1 power difference matters a lot vs aggro decks. Like giving a swiftspear witness protection feels still awful.

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

Deckbuilder rant incoming:
This card is a pretty big deal! Blue never got even remotely playable removal spells. This opens up new strategies in some color combinations. For example UG mid/control lists in Pioneer.

@RaestMTG @fireshoes Congrats, did the Proctor + Atraxa combo ever come up?

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

@MtgMoniz There is definetly a lot of unexplored territory with the amalia package. Glad you are doing some of that hard work.

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

@ghett_smart @HRG_Topdeckhero @fireshoes Yeah thats why i like to build my own decks, i like to give people headaches 😀
I think g2 was rough for you because you missed a lot of landdrops, not sure i piloted g2 well tbh. I guess the mu is about even with 2 good pilots, depends a lot on how certain interaction lines up.

[David 'MrRaeb' Helfenstein @MrRaeb]

🏆#1 of the MKM Season with UR Atraxativity, did not drop a Game 😯
This 60 feels very solid so far. Having a way to hardcast Atraxa solves a lot of problems!
The SB is a bit experimental, more testing is needed.

[Gabriel 'yellowhat' Nassif @gabnassif]

Gonna give @MrRaeb's list a try in a league then Pioneer Prelim probably with UB Control
