This is my second go at an Azami, Lady of Scrolls deck. My first attempt managed to be annoying, but this one is capable of being truly oppressive. I took some inspiration from Quad9's Azami Deck, which you can find here at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLQ5fMKuaCs

The goal here is to draw a lot of cards to quickly put together a winning combination of cards on the board. You can keep your plan intact by using any of the many control options available and put your combo together with the variety of tutor effects.

Rather than go over all of the cards in the deck, I'll detail some of the more interesting interactions in the deck.

Win Conditions

• Any mana doubler + six or more lands + Palinchron gives you infinite mana.

• Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Laboratory Maniac + Mind Over Matter lets you draw your entire deck and then win, period.

• Infinite mana + Memnarch lets you steal the entire board.

• Vendilion Clique, Hinder or Spell Crumple + Tunnel Vision mills all but one card in an opponent's deck.

• Infinite mana + Blue Sun's Zenith or Stroke of Genius kills an opponent.

• Infinite mana + Capsize is a one-sided board wipe, including lands.

Cool Interactions

• Diviner's Wand lets you win through commander damage fairly easily, since you can tap it to draw a card with Azami's effect.

And so much more. The real strength here is that there are so many paths to victory and that your card advantage engine makes it so easy to hit any of them.
