Budget Azami, Lady of Scrolls - EDH / Command copy

Commander / EDH* Budget Control Mono-Blue Multiplayer Wizards

Maybeboard


Copied deck from a similar Azami budget decks. Suggestions welcome!

Upgrades in terms of priority:

Mind Over Matter -> Patron Wizard -> Mystical Tutor -> Vedalken AEthermage -> Others. Course the first two aren't exactly budget friendly.

Zuran Spellcaster seems like it'd do well on its own if your meta has a lot of weenies, plus it infinites with Isochron Scepter/Elite Arcanist + Dramatic Reversal + Sol Ring

Possible combos:

Caltrops + Serendib Sorcerer = kill any unbuffed creature attacking you

Stasis + Surgespanner = only you untap

Considering Simic Manipulator since it's sort of a cheaper Beguiler of Wills. Plus it combos with Serendib Sorcerer to steal anything. Might still be too situational though.

Changes I'm considering:

Talrand -> Zuran Spellcaster

My meta runs a lot of weenies, and Talrand doesn't seem that great. Usually ends up being 4 mana to either get removed immediately, or not accomplish anything. The deck is too creature heavy for him to work outside of iso-reversal combo which Zuran also exploits better.

Disciple of the Ring -> Caltrops

Again, too creature heavy to be effective, plus anti-weenies.

One of the disruptives -> Trophy Mage

Disruptive seems only good when played on turn 3, and even then it's so-so. It seems awful in the late game. Trophy Mage on the other hand is also a 3 drop and will always fetch either Caltrops or Kefnet. If I ever get Patron Wizard, it's probably replacing Trophy Mage or the other disruptive.

Brine Seer -> Something

Dude just doesn't seem too effective. Too pricey for an effect that doesn't always counter. EDIT: Not sure about this actually. Proved pretty useful in some games.

Turn to Frog/Ovinize -> Bounce

I mostly played these for the "loses all abilities" part, but bounce also accomplishes that and sets the opponent behind on tempo.
