# Urza's Avenger
- **Mana Cost:** `{6}` (CMC: 6)
- **Type:** Artifact Creature — Shapeshifter
- **Power/Toughness:** 4/4

## Oracle Text
{0}: 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.*
