Is this Reserved? If it's not Reserved, then it's about to get Reprinted:

Order ASAP folks.
EDIT: So, I just finished the two Artifacts Cycle books after they spoiled Karn Liberated, and this is what I've got to say:
WHAT. DA FUCGHK. URZA. ?!?!?!!?
I mean, yeah I knew old Magic cards back then were broken, but.....jeez, it suddenly sounds MUCH safer to 'merely' attempt to play my little Black-Red Premium Deck Awesome: GraveBurn in a Legacy tournament and get completely slaughtered by all the peeps who actually know how to play Magic than it does to live in Dominaria....or anywhere else Urza Planeswalker happens to be o.O
You know how in Harry Potter the running gag is the safest place in the world is wherever Albus Dumbledore happens to be? Urza Planeswalker is the utter and complete blatant opposite of that. I **ALMOST** would believe the INNER CIRCLE, EIGHTH CIRCLE OF P... (see all)

What is the reality of the game these days? Traumerei112 is right this card was made famous for the great cards that were briefly legal during its time. It was mostly used as part of a early game Braingeyser basically forcing your opponent to draw out.
As far as the restricting/banning cards I think it just limits the game as a whole. I don't really think that if this card where legal for legacy it would make decks like affinity any faster from turn 0-5, but what it would do is spawn a whole bunch of artifact based decks that have nothing to do with affinity that would be competitive with decks like Faerie/control and so on.
But wizards has been legalizing cards that people thought would never come back like Timespiral so who knows what the future will hold.

Kinda strange that people only rate on power-level, and don't factor in balance. Me personally, I rate the developers, and how they let this broken monstrosity out of day 1 play-testing is beyond me.
To everyone who developed urza's block, .5/5... I know you guys were understaffed at the time but still!
Turns Spellbook into a Mox Sapphire for freaks sake!

It makes me laugh that people are suggesting to use this with terrible cards like voltaic key, memnite, ornithoper, when this is really used with Mox Sapphire, Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, Mox Emerald, Mox Pearl, Sol Ring and the like.
Cmon.

Definently broken in the right deck...
I still wish it wasn't "give me $500 for one card"

I got one for an EDH deck in an order from StarCity... Just before the package arrived I had a thought and checked the Commander banlist... I was a sad panda after that...
