Azami SLD Wizards

Mono-blue Wizards built for SLD-only proxy play. Every card name in this deck has a Secret Lair Drop printing, and the page uses downloaded local Scryfall images from this folder.

Commander: Azami, Lady of Scrolls 100 cards including commander 35 lands SLD-printing-only Primary plan: Wizard combat and draw

Game Plan

Build a Wizard boardAzami turns every Wizard into a draw engine. Play cheap Wizards, protect the commander, and keep cards flowing.
Win through combatPatchwork Banner, Door of Destinies, Coat of Arms, and Master of Waves let the deck attack instead of only comboing.
Backup winsTriskaidekaphile, Laboratory Maniac, and Psychic Corrosion give draw-based endings when combat stalls.
Keep it casualThe list avoids Thassa's Oracle, hard lock plans, and heavy extra-turn lines. Patron Wizard is included as tribal defense, not as a table lock.

Azami, Lady of Scrolls card image

Azami, Lady of Scrolls

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

SLD #1106

Tap an untapped Wizard you control: Draw a card.

Why Azami?

Azami, Lady of Scrolls is the cleanest SLD Wizard commander because she makes the tribe itself matter. The deck can play a fair creature game, then convert idle Wizards into cards when the board stalls.

If this ends up feeling too strong or too much like a draw engine, Arcanis the Omnipotent is the easier lower-pressure commander swap.
