This is my take on Azorius Control. Azorius has been my favourite since I was introduced to magic and I love the control mindset. Please feel free to comment with ideas on changes in cards/numbers to discuss. Also, I know there are no Tome Scour in the deck, it is just my favourite card.
The current iteration of the deck runs 0 main board creature spells, making all of your opponent's removal spells dead cards and giving you pseudo-card advantage. It also abuses the power of Mage-Ring Network for saving up mana over drawn out games as well as 1 copy of Learn from the Past and 1 copy of Not Forgotten for infinite deck recycling.
STRATEGY
The deck follows a pretty straight-forward draw-go strategy. Aim for 3-4 lands as well as some 2/3 mana removal/counters in your opening hand. Selectively deal with threats (on your opponent's turn preferably) and aim to board wipe turn 5. Turn 6 you want to cast Dragonlord's Prerogative if you can and pull ahead in card advantage. From there, maintain board control and be patient. Any excess mana should be dumped into Mage-Ring Network . When they are tapped out or you are confident it will resolve, cast Secure the Wastes on their end step for enough guys to kill them in one swing. If your Secure the Wastes does get countered or if you are running out of gas, simply Learn from the Past repeatedly to infinitely recycle your deck (unless both copies end up in your graveyard). If your Secure the Wastes gets exiled, you will have to be careful and win the slow way by casting Learn from the Past repeatedly until your opponent is out of cards.
Turn 1 is obviously a land drop. I want to hit all my land drops until at least turn 6.
Turn 2 Is also a land drop, holding removal/counters until my opponents turn, when I will use them to deal with the most imminent threats.
Turn 3 Is mostly the same as turn 2
Turn 4 Is mostly the same as turn 2
Turn 5 I want to land Planar Outburst
Turn 6 Is when I should start looking for a chance to resolve Dragonlord's Prerogative
