Azami, the Abusive Librarian

Commander / EDH Combo Competitive Control

Nailou

The winner of unofficial Finnish cEDH Nationals 2017.

The idea of the deck is basically to try to prevent your opponents from winning the game too fast with our counterspells and using Azami and her underlings to gain card advantage. Threat assessment is very important since the deck isn't built to be the police of the table. Counters should be used only when an opponent is trying to win or get an overwhelming advantage. Finally after 1-2 turns you can usually end the game with one of your combos:

Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Mind Over Matter = Cycle through the whole deck.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + Mana rocks that make at least 3 mana (at least one of them blue) = Infinite mana and draw your whole deck with Azami.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + Sensei's Divining Top + At least 2 mana = Draw your whole deck.

Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Paradox Engine + As many mana rocks and wizards as possible = Draw a lot of cards and gain mana, usually you can find a "real" combo with these.

Paradox Engine + Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Sensei's Divining Top + At least 1 mana form a mana rock = Draw your whole deck.

Paradox Engine + Voltaic Key + Sensei's Divining Top + At least 2 mana form mana rocks = Draw your whole deck.

Paradox Engine + Isochron Scepter + Any instant 2 cmc or under that is not a counterspell + Mana rocks that make at least 3 mana (at least one of them blue) = Infinite mana and draw your whole deck with Azami.

At the moment I am testing a lots of new cards. The gameplan and win conditions are the same but the overall mana cost of cards has been lowered a little. Also I added two more Islands since I was sometimes missing a crucial land drop before casting Azami.
