Deck overview

This Azorius deck utilizes Grand Arbiter Augustin IV at the helm to create severe resource and tempo disparities. By discounting its own spells while adding taxing costs to opponents, the deck deploys early disruptive pieces such as Rule of Law, Dovin, Hand of Control, Spider-Woman, Stunning Savior, and Teferi, Time Raveler. While opponents struggle to cast more than one heavily taxed spell per turn cycle, the deck establishes self-sustaining token engines via Kykar, Zephyr Awakener, Murmuring Mystic, and The Council of Four. These evasive flying tokens are rapidly scaled using powerful anthems such as Cathars' Crusade, Flowering of the White Tree, and Archetype of Imagination. With robust defensive coverage from Teferi's Protection and Greater Auramancy, the deck protects its lock pieces and crushes the table through unblockable flying combat damage.
