Azorius Stax by IndioRedElk

Format: Commander

Commander: Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV leads a classic Azorius stax/control deck. The primary plan is to cast cheaper spells while taxing opponents, then lock the board with Winter Orb, Static Orb, Ghostly Prison, and land destruction. Brago, King Eternal acts as a hidden commander, flickering draw and stax permanents for extra value. The main deterministic finish is Enchanted Evening plus Aura Thief, ideally with Cataclysm or Day of Judgment: when Aura Thief dies, all permanents become enchantments and are stolen. Triskaidekaphile offers an alternate hand-size win, and flyers/tokens provide a beatdown plan. The deck is deliberately slow, resilient, and strongly interactive.
