I was wondering the gatherer page for creatures with horsemanship, like Wu Light Cavalry , and figured I'd ask the good people at tapped out which (if any) keyword abilities they miss.
personally, I think horsemanship is kinda uncreative (its almost the same as shadow). but I would have liked it if there were more cards with threshold,
I loved threshold, flashback, and madness. I'm not sure a set ever had three abilities that were so in sync with the set's theme. It was great.
I could have done without amplify. Other than Kilnmouth Dragon , I felt it was very sub-par.

@justarsaus, so that's why all the guys with horsemanship have Asian-sounding names.
@tioras, I agree I liked all those. Madness is especially fun when you get some system down to discard

I agree that banding is sweet. But you know what my most missed ability is? Graft. That's my altime favorite ability and it also fits with my favorite colors U/G.

The Azami, Lady of Scrolls deck is really cool, but i dont see a way to win with it i would like some tips.

A classic combo with Azami is Mind Over Matter. This can be used to draw your entire deck and then win with Laboratory Maniac

Blue Sun's Zenith or Stroke of Genius can be used to deck players if you have a Power Artifact and Basalt Monolith.

andymaul123, eeee1994, ThisIsBullshit Ty all I'm usually a guy who relies on combat step or aggro strategies so these are real nice ways to get a win especially since i cycles through my deck so much.Are There Any Other Ways?

Typically a combo deck since once Azami hits the board, it is ridiculously easy to dig for combo pieces. Either mill yourself and win with Lab maniac like mentioned, or generate infinite mana and win by milling your opponents with a targeted draw spell. I also knew one person who made an Azami deck with tons of artifacts(mostly mana rocks) and ran Tezzeret the Seeker and would use his ability to create an army of 5/5 creatures. But since she is so versatile since she literally provides a huge surplus of answers, you could just play blue goodstuff.

If you want to win with combat, Master of Waves and Talrand, Sky Summoner are usually in the deck anyway.

So This Deck Is Basically Digging For Infinite Combos?
May 29, 2015 3:28 p.m.
It can be, but that's just because its what Azami is really good at. Drawing 4-5 cards a turn for essentially free means you're rarely at a loss for an answer and you'll frequently be able to assemble combos. That said, card draw is good in any deck so as long as you have a decent amount of wizards, you can make the deck revolve around anything. Like I said, you could probably make a good artifact/wizards deck with Azami since blue, artifacts and wizards kinda go hand in hand.

True Ill Assemble a Deck Now Thank you guys for all your help

I also say that you shoould use chasm skulker. It wins the game on its own if you can consistently draw.

Mindslaver plus the legendary land that puts you Mindslaver back on top of the library. Then do whatever you like :D

my friend said Deranged Assistant is good in this deck but i dont understand

He says it accelerates your Azami but i dont wanna mill a win-con piece
May 29, 2015 5:24 p.m.

If you want to accelerate Azami, run Mana Vault. Milling win cons is bad.

With the infinite mana combo, Diviner's Wand is another simple way to win the game. That, and Staff of Domination. Another win con played in Azami is Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron .
The deck is a control deck that aims to combo later in the game, using cards like Back to Basics to potentially lock your opponents out of the game while you dig for your win con. This is aided by powerful wizards like Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and mana rocks like Grim Monolith and Mana Crypt.

I just found Stonybrook Banneret which seems particularly good as it ramps you into Azami as well as a lot of other cards likely to be in your deck and can still be tapped to draw a card by Azami. I'd use it over Deranged Assistant

well to explain horsemanship it was only printed on cards from portal three kingdoms it was that sets flying, if you have any english version of those cards keep them because it was designed for the asian market it was based off of some of their legends it was only sold in asia and as such the english versions are some of the rarest cards in the game
personally i love ripple and storm
