Strategy
Azor is a control finisher that locks down your opponents' instants and sorceries while swinging in as a evasive threat. When it enters the battlefield, you temporarily shut down instant/sorcery spells for each opponent's next turn—perfect for cementing your board position or buying time for a winning play. The attack trigger is where Azor shines: spending mana to draw cards and gain life turns each swing into a mini-refuel, letting you out-resource opponents over time.
Your deck wants to protect Azor and ensure it connects, leaning on control elements (board wipes, removal, counterspells) to stay alive until it lands. Once it's attacking, the incremental card draw and life gain let you build an unbeatable advantage. This is fundamentally a "control into finisher" plan where Azor does the heavy lifting in the late game.
