Goal: To have fun playing Azorius creatures and drawing, and play some cards I found interesting/cool - tried to go a creature heavy anthem/beat down route.

Focus: Flash creatures, Flicker/ETBs, Card draw, semi-control

Wincons: Creatures/combat damage, commander damage, singular sneaky infect enchantment, approach of the second sun

Other Thoughts: Debated but ultimately decided against laying into excess card draw/self-mill and putting in Thassa's Oracle and/or Laboratory Maniac.

Sideboard: Cards that are frequently swapped in/out while I test things or cards that I have purchased but do not have yet.

Cards that I want but do not currently want to spend the money on: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite; Ghostway; Mystic Gate; Sakashima's Student; Snapcaster Mage; Teferi's Protection

Cards that are good and/or combo-y, but I do not currently want to include: Body Double; Ashnod's Altar, Deadeye Navigator; Muddle the Mixture; Peregrine Drake; Recruiter of the Guard
