It's amazing how far a deck can go after a few years. I chose Azusa as a commander because I wanted a budget edh deck and if half of my deck was lands that meant I could afford picking up some powerful spells. Fast forward a few years and hundreds of trades later and you get the lean green ramping machine you see before you.

The deck at the most basic level is a ramp/combo deck. The first thing you really aim to do is play Azusa, Lost but Seeking and start dropping all the lands out of your hand. After that you will either play a giant threat from your hand to try and take someone out. Or you will play a source of card advantage to refill your hand.

Key cards

Oracle of Mul Daya and Courser of Kruphix both allow you to play lands off the top of your library and with Azusa in play you just keep going. It's not uncommon to play 2-4 lands off the top and then draw a spell and play 2 lands off the top again to another spell.

Fyndhorn Elves, Elvish Mystic, Mana Crypt and a Green Sun's Zenith for Zero to get Dryad Arbor are the 5 ways the deck is able to play Azusa before turn 3. Honestly I should probably go back to Sol Ring over one of the elves. Now that I think about it I may cut all the Elves

Constant Mists is probably one of the most powerful cards in the deck. Since I always have extra lands in play I can repeatedly fog to avoid a fatal alpha strike

Lotus Cobra's power with Azusa in play is absolutely insane I cant say enough good things about this card

Side Note I aim to foil the deck out one day, it's good to have a goal right.

If anyone has ideas or suggestions I'm all ears

Well I finally had to cut the best mana guy ever. In his place I added a new Nissa. There was a few other minor changes but nothing super drastic
