What it does
0 generic mana: This creature gets -1/-1 and gains your choice of banding, flying, first strike, or trample until end of turn. (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
Unable to settle on just one design, Urza decided to create one versatile being.

Where it came from
Urza's Avenger first appeared in the Antiquities expansion in 1994, designed to embody the versatility of the artificer Urza through its unique ability to swap between various creature keywords. As a rare card that mechanically represented the complex lore of Magic: The Gathering's central historical figure, it became a point of fascination for players drawn to the game's evolving narrative depth.
The Fifth Edition printing, released in 1997, featured the original illustration by Amy Weber, a foundational artist for the early game. Her style is celebrated for its dreamlike quality and distinctive brushwork, which provided a stark, atmospheric contrast to the more rigid fantasy aesthetics that would define later sets. The reprinting in this core set served to integrate cards from the early, experimental expansions into the broader, standardized framework of the game's middle era.
