The question is, can Azami live in a world of 20hp? The answer, almost certainly, is no. How can she live through all the removal and burn in a world where heavy counterspell decks have been relegated to the depths of a forgotten past?

And yet... She cannot stop. She tries to hang up her counterspells, tries to stop thinking about her combos, she sits in comfort in her luxurious family binder, but something rages within her... She cannot stop.

So how, then? How can the 5cmc wizard, so powerful in years past, compete with the speed and diversity of a world that is so much younger, fitter, faster than her aging prowess? "Sir, you can't be serious--he'll kill you" her faithful butler, Laboratory Maniac begs, as Azami stares down an image of Zurgo Bellstriker. "I have to know" she grumbles.

Bounce, countermagic, stax, and combos. What else can she do? Mind Over Matter will always win the game, and perhaps even quickly if High Tide or Extraplanar Lens can go off first.
