My strategy is simple; run flying pirates, one-sided board wipe aggro decks, counters to protect the planes walkers and Azor to lock down the board in the late game.
Ajani gives us the creature recursion we need to keep the pressure up while Search for Azcanta helps us dig for removal and Tefari/Ral.
Siren Stormtamer is great for protecting against burn, while fundamentally protecting Azor from removal.
Warkite Marauder is able to turn the enemy flyers into 0/1s or setup a target for Fiery Cannonade that would otherwise miss
Timestream Navigator is for extra turn shenanigans.
Ral helps draw and gives us extra reach against priority targets that are generally a hassle.
Play Tefari, hold up counter magic for Azor to stick and then enjoy a sphinx's revelation every turn until you win.
Risk factor applies the extra pressure you need in the early/mid game and is solid card draw late.
Admiral's Order let's us protect ourselves with 2nd main and combate coverage with Tefari out. Dropping down to 1 blue mana to counter any removal and untapping at end of turn to safeguard against enemy plays. This works especially well in getting Azor to stick and lockdown the board until your next turn.
Ionize and Negate are my preference for extra counters.
Land base will be more powerful when the next shocks are printed.
Sideboard transforms the deck with Niv, Tajik and Aurelia, or allowing you to go more control focused if you need to.
