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 set in 1994, representing the lore-heavy artificer Urza and his legacy of complex machinery. The card was designed during the early development of Magic: The Gathering, a period characterized by experimental mechanics and high-concept fantasy themes. As a powerful artifact creature with a unique flexible ability set, it was intended to reward players for investing significant resources into a single unit.
For the Fifth Edition printing in 1997, the card was updated with the standard frame and aesthetic of the era. The illustration by Christopher Rush captures the mechanical, somewhat ominous nature of the character, a signature visual style that helped define the game's identity during its formative years. Upon its release in the core set, it served as a bridge between early expansion lore and a more cohesive, rules-standardized environment.
