Deck overview

This is a dedicated Azorius tax/stax control deck built around Grand Arbiter Augustin IV. The plan is to make every spell opponents cast cost more while the deck's own spells cost less, then transition into a hard lock. The primary lock is Knowledge Pool combined with Teferi, Time Raveler, Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, or Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, which prevents opponents from resolving spells entirely. Once the lock is established, the deck wins through Approach of the Second Sun or Azor's Elocutors. The commander is not a tutor or draw engine, but his cost reduction is what makes the lock cheap to assemble. This is a slow, controlling deck that wins by attrition and inevitability rather than speed.
