Problem with that is Urza is dead. His final atonement was to give his spark to Karn and activate the Legacy Weapon, which killed himself and Gerrard in the process.
While I'm not sure whether an Urza card would even be a good idea, having a character be dead has never stopped fiction writers before.
That "wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff" was pretty much the entire plot behind the Time Spiral block.
Any attempt at an Urza card would, by it's very nature, have to be a "Return to Time Spiral" type of thing. Not only revisiting a plane, but also a plot device.
Yawgmoth hoped to dissect Dyffed, but never got to.
No he didn't get to that i know of she died. But Bolas was dead in the core of the planet. I believe Dyffed took him there for the first time and showed him his corps. She said another plainswalker named Lilliana killed him. This was in the first book of the artifact cycle called the Thran.

Funny how none of that shows up on the WIKI page here at MTGS on either Yawgmoth OR Bolas.
That same wiki also identifies "The Thran" as a prequel to the Artifact Cycle, not the first book of it.

Ya..... I couldn't tell you. All I know it what I read in the first 2 books of the Artifact cycle. Which is actually 5 books total. I haven't read the last book of the artifact cycle so I didn't know urza died for karn.
Yawgmoth actually dissected Bolas trying to figure out what "organ" makes a person a plainswalker. That's part of why he killed Dyffed. He wanted to know what made her a plainswalker.

The current "reality" in the Magic universe is that Bolas is alive and well, and is currently hiding in parts unknown. His latest known activies include being present when Alara was reborn in the Conflux, and monitoring the Phyrexian takeover of Mirrodin through his agent Tezzeret.
If he was dead back during the events BEFORE the Brother's War and Weatherlight Saga, how could this be? Bolas is alive, and his malicious intent is behind much of the nasty things going on in Magicville.

I'm still kind of annoyed that they brought back Phyrexia after spending so many blocks defeating them, so go ahead and bring Urza back if all his work was for nothing anyway.
I'd love for the next block to be Dominaria. Not just the summer core set, but a whole block.

Do we know that every landmass on Dominaria has been revealed?
We know that they haven't been revealed. MaRo and Brady have both gone on record saying there's plenty on Dominaria left to be explored.
The only places we have details on is Keld and the other Aeronan nations, Terisirie, a few of the Jamuraan nations, Urborg, Corondor, Shiv, and Otaria.
We know of other places but don't have much details on them, such as Tolaria, Sarpadia and the Madaran Empire.
Yeah, but just because it was a dragon planeswalker in the original plane that would become Phyrexia doesn't mean it was Bolas.
IIRC, it was "a Planeswalker who preferred the form of a Dragon." (eg. that PW wasn't necessarily originally a dragon.) Old walkers were pure energy, they could look however they damn well pleased. In Planeswalker one even tried hiding in plain sight as a pavilion.

Wasn't Lilliana one of Bolas minions? I will grant you that they did say a Dragon want his only form, just the one her proffered. So it may not have been him. They did say Lilliana kill "that planeswalker" and it was her master.

That's true, Urza did often change his form to spy on the world.
I agree, I would like a Dominaria themed set that is flavorly designed like A/B/U/R or Fallen Empires rather than Time Spiral or Invasion. I don't really want a huge cataclysmic storyline with lots of famous people. I just want to see the various cultures, traditions, magical practices and locations of that Dominarian type of fantasy realm participating in day to day trials of common life.
I desperately want to revisit Kamigawa because I really really miss Kokusho so much and my friends keep telling me she will not be in Dragons Maze just in Kamigawa sets. I am hoping that will happen next block because it is driving me crazy that we are visiting so many old planes but not that one.

A block set on a new continent of Dominaria that was untouched by the invasion and the Mirari could fit the bill. But so could a return to Lorwyn.
Dominaria. But I want each set to reboot Arabian Nights, Antiquities, and Legends. I'm not asking for reprints, but a revisitation of the first 3 expansions.

Nostalgia overload.
Arabian Nights isn't set on Dominaria. It's based on actual literature and is,essentially, set on a fantastical version of Earth.
Dominaria or Shandalar to see what's up with Talrand's old PC game homeland.
e: ^^^ Rabiah might get WotC stupid political flak just due to its flavor. it's unfortunate because Arabian Nights owned and Rabiah would actually be a really sweet place to go for a block.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
As mentioned before Ulgrotha would be cool to go to again. Maybe we could see that secret portal in Baron Sengir's castle basement...
Also, Shandalar! We could go there.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.

Heck, Mishra died during the Brother's War, thousands of years before Time Spiral. But he have a card for him because... wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff.
That "wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff" was pretty much the entire plot behind the Time Spiral block.

Did love the Doctor Who reference, though.

If they go back to dominaria, maybe they could bring back the old borders, just for that block.
