He quickly dispatches all who witness him. |- |{{card|Retaliation||USG}},<br />{{card|Endoskeleton||USG}}||Gix causes havoc in Mishra's camp, making all of his machines sentient and violent. Mishra confronts Urza whom he believes is responsible. Mishra attacks Urza, but Urza retaliates with a fireball. Under Mishra's blasted skin is not flesh and bone, but cogs and gears.

Nothing survives, except Urza whose dormant spark comes alive, transforming him into an immortal [[Planeswalker]]. |- |Not depicted||When Urza comes to, he visits his student [[Tawnos]], whom he instructs to tell his wife [[Kayla bin-Kroog]] he had died. Urza then departs and wanders the planes. Tawnos however refuses and tells Kayla the truth, who in turn writes the chronicles of the Antiquities War. |- |{{card|Victimize||USG}}|| Years later, Urza finds and rescues [[Xantcha]], a defector Phyrexian sleeper agent who would not yield to Yawgmoth's will. |- |{{card|Rain of Filth||USG}},<br />{{card|Urza's Armor||USG}}||Urza finally has a way of finding Phyrexia, a plane so evil and disgusting that the Rain itself is oil.

Nothing but blackness follows. |- |{{card|Planar Birth||USG}},<br />{{card|Serra's Sanctum||USG}}||Urza and Xantcha are saved by the Planeswalker [[Serra]] and are brought to the artificial plane Serra herself had sculpted from White mana. |- |{{card|Sicken||USG}},<br />{{card|Healing Salve||USG}},<br />{{card|Sanctum Custodian||USG}}||For five years, Urza and Xantcha stay in [[Serra's Sanctum]], recovering from the wounds the Phyrexians had inflicted upon them. |- |{{card|Befoul||USG}},<br />{{card|Expunge||USG}},<br />{{card|Absolute Grace||USG}},<br />{{card|Disenchant||USG}}||But then the Phyrexians attack, a great invasion into the realm of angels. |- |{{card|Pacifism||USG}},<br />{{card|Remembrance||USG}}||Hundreds lose their lives on either side.

They detect the presence of Phyrexian sleeper agents in a nearby clan war and make a plan to utilize the Null Moon to combat the Phyrexians. |- |{{card|Unnerve||USG}},<br />{{card|Oppression||USG}}||While executing this plan, Xantcha is confronted by Gix. Urza also appears and Gix flees to Koilos. |- |Not Depicted||Urza, Xantcha, and Ratepe pursue him. While Urza manages to slay Gix, it comes at the sacrifice of Xantcha and Rapete. Urza swears to travel back in time to prevent their deaths. |- | {{card|Stroke of Genius||USG}}||To fulfill this, Urza recruits <c>Barrin, Master Wizard</c> and together they build the <c>Tolarian Academy</c>. Years go into research. |- |{{card|Brand||USG}}||Through experimentation, Urza learns that only common silver passes through his time portal undamaged.

There he discovers a great mana generator. Though he had to first demonstrate his power to the [[Viashino]] who called it their homeland, he found that the generator created more mana than in his wildest imaginations. His plan now was to create a collection of artifacts, [[The Legacy|his Legacy]], which could be used to defeat Yawgmoth. |}
