Azusa's fast. Before you know it, you've played all your lands and your hand is empty. To compensate, I'm leaning heavily into card draw effects to keep refilling my hand.

This deck aims to 'go tall' by ramping quickly into big scary creatures like Eldrazi and Vorinclex. Some exceptions may apply, such as Avenger of Zendikar and Scute Swarm.

Combos and Synergies

• Even faster land drops when you pair Azusa with things that let you play lands from other zones like Oracle of Mul Daya, Augur of Autumn, Crucible of Worlds or Conduit of Worlds.
• Additional land drop redundancy in case Azusa is lost or stolen: Oracle of Mul Daya and Exploration.
• Azusa with landfall-for-profit triggers like Avenger of Zendikar, Field of the Dead, Horn of Greed, Rampaging Baloths, Scute Swarm and Tireless Tracker.
• Crucible of Worlds or Conduit of Worlds and lands that sacrifice for value like Fabled Passage, Strip Mine or Sanctum of Ugin.
• A toolbox of useful lands with a few tutors to find the right land for the job.
• All is Dust and It That Betrays.

General finishing moves include Tooth and Nail, casting an Emrakul, the Promised End, Genesis Wave or Stonehoof Chieftain. Though it's often just a couple big nasty monsters that do the trick.

I enjoyed playing this deck but its battlecruiser nature just wasn't competitive anymore. Instead, I've focused on a colourless Eldrazi deck and a mono-{G} deck that's a bit more mid-rangey.

Leaving the old list online for posterity.
