---

I think we can all agree that drawing cards is fun.

Well, this is my commander deck for Azami, Lady of Scrolls. The main purpose of this deck is to lock down enemy battlefields while giving yourself as much freedom as possible.
This deck came about because of a few different reasons. One was that I wanted a deck that can lock down opponents. Another was that I wanted a mono-deck. Finally, well, people were REALLY getting angry at me playing Sen Triplets.

Tricks and Combos

As this is a mono-blue deck, it goes without saying that this deck is loaded with bells and whistles that can get you out of a lot of different situations. I'm obviously not going to list all the potential combos, but here are some interesting ones:

Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Mind Over Matter
This combo should come as no surprise if you've seen other Azami decks. Mind Over Matter is possibly one of the best cards for this commander. This combo allows you to tap a wizard, draw a card, discard a card and untap that same wizard. Add Laboratory Maniac or Psychosis Crawler for a quick and simple win condition. Elixir of Immortality can keep you going as long as you keep the mana open.

Arcane Laboratory + Erayo, Soratami Ascendant locks down everything that's not at instant speed. However, sadly, this limits you to 1 spell as well. Adding in Leyline of Anticipation or to a lesser extent Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir lets you play more cards during each turn so that you can get more stuff done with your limited spell casting. Leveling your Lighthouse Chronologist gets you even faster, but honestly the speed isn't super important since you've locked opponents down to nothing but their current board-state.

Sigil Tracer + Turnabout in addition to 3 wizards
Duplicate Turnabout twice with Sigil Tracer, untap creatures and land, float any excess mana and continue to copy Turnabout. This will give you infinite blue mana, and if Azami, Lady of Scrolls is in play, then there will also be infintite draws.

Future Plans

The mana count seems a little high, so if I can find some good cards, I'll definitely try to reduce it slightly. What would be more useful then 40 lands is a way to play lands faster, or gain a mana counter quicker.
