Urza's Destiny has four theme decks. One is monocolored, and three are bicolored.

Included with each deck was a booklet with deck lists and strategy guides for all four decks. An enhanced version of each deck was also suggested to upgrade it for a competitive Standard environment. (The cards for the enhanced deck lists were not supplied)

“  The enhanced version of “Battle Surge” is similar to the basic deck, but with some key improvements. The greatest change is to the mana curve; the average cost of creatures is far lower.

This lets you to play creatures earlier and get in faster damage, giving your opponent even less time to react. And because you’re playing more creatures, you might simply overwhelm whatever your opponent puts in your way. [4]  ”
