Azorius Test by Arne

Format: Commander

Commander: Sokrates, Athenian Teacher

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Azorius list is a Humans-tribal pillowfort and group-draw engine built around Sokrates, Athenian Teacher. Sokrates converts incoming (or outgoing) combat damage into symmetrical card draw while sitting behind hexproof as a tapped-out wall, feeding a dense suite of "second draw / second spell" payoffs. The deck floods the board with Human Soldier tokens via Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Prince Imrahil the Fair, Horn of Gondor, and Elspeth, Storm Slayer, then closes through go-wide combat finishers (Moonshaker Cavalry, Mirror Entity) or the alternate win of Triskaidekaphile. Light stax and attack taxes (Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Lavinia, Azorius Renegade) buy the time needed to assemble the hand and the swarm. Primary wins are combat overrun and the thirteen-card lock; there are no infinite combos.
