Did not update the list for long so it's time to look through few cards from latest sets at least:

Cityscape Leveler - artifact version of Ulamog. It's cheaper and repeatable (attack trigger) but being artifacts makes it die from collateral Bane of Progress

Green Sun's Twilight - mini-Genesis Wave is... mini even if it's 2 mana cheaper. Choice to put into hand can be useful for Eldrazis though.

Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip - minor searching effect plus minor beater if you can spare 4 combat damage. I think I pass.

Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip - powerful card which has to compete with better searching effects in Green Sun's Zenith and Chord of Calling though. Possibility to have 8/8 beater is tempting but gives opponent 6 life first and that may be relevant.

Tranquil Frillback - another variation of Reclamation Sage effects. Versatile but requires for than 3 mana to compete.

The Shire - funny land for Food-based builds. No real use here especially when Ouphe and Bane are around.

Blossoming Tortoise - it ramps (repeatedly) and lower costs of a number of our lands but takes 4CMC slot which is one of the most crowded. Clearly better when using Rude Awakening.

Bramble Familiar - mana dorks do not really fit into Azusa but this one can turn into quasi-seach effect with some for of buyback. Too slow in my opinion.

Feral Encounter - despite being 2CMC it is designed to be cast on Turn 4 or later. Disqualified.

Flayer of Loyalties - this one is interesting. I'm going to swap second Kozilek for it and test how aggressive/oppressive it can be.

I absolutely love how janky this combo is, you definitely earned my +1!

Have you tried using Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip? It’s a little more expensive to cast than Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip and it might not be able to tutor out all of your creatures but it can find your main combo pieces guaranteed.

Is there a reason you went with Assassin's Trophy over Abrupt Decay? Also I'm not really sure how competitive battles are but have considered adding either Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip or Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip? The deck looks solid and I'm going to add it to my saves.

OberstHati I'm glad you like the deck, and I am actually working on updating my budget list version of the deck. Life has been busy, so it's taking longer than I want.

As for the the cards you suggested, Vorinclex  ^Flip is a fantastic card, but not a great fit for this deck. Invasion of Zendikar  ^Flip isn't bad at all and provides decent ramp.

I'm working on trying to find a slot for Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip, but testing and finding slots to swap out gets increasingly harder with every set.
