Removed: Primordial Sage
Added: Azami, Lady of Scrolls
Notes: While this does increase the amount of triple blue I need in the deck (already heavy from Cryptic Command, Teferi, Magus of the Future), I've been testing with Azami and she seems like a more reliable card drawing creature than Primordial Sage, at cheaper CMC too. I wouldn't feel bad about tutoring for her with Prophet on the field and no other creatures in hand, as she will be drawing me 1-3 cards per turn guaranteed when she resolves (Momir + Prophet + Azami = 3 wizards). Primordial Sage requires 6 mana and another creature to be effective, whereas Azami gets right to work. This may incentivize me to keep certain wizards that otherwise might be underperforming (Magus of the Future/Teferi, or Wistful Selkie) but that remains to be seen. My biggest concern is reliably hitting UUU by turn 5, and UUUUU by the time I'm ready to win the game (Palinchron going infinite in both G and U requires a minimum of five lands tapping for blue). This may require more mana tweaking in the future.
