Rationale

3cmc 2/4 legendary that costs down artifact/instant/sorcery spells. Static cost-reduction engine signature in tempo and spellslinger shells relying on artifact density. The meld activation (melding into planeswalker Urza) is a build-around requiring specific artifact tutoring and setup. Risks: requires-artifact-density (cost-down is dead without payoff spells), commander-dependent (in Brawl/Commander requires owning/controlling both Urza and The Mightstone and Weakstone as separate permanents before melding).
