Strategy
Azula is a spellslinger commander with a combat requirement: while she is attacking, every spell you cast gets copied. Firebending adds two red mana during combat, which is exactly the fuel needed to cast those spells mid-attack. The deck is built around cheap, high-impact instants and sorceries.
Early: Develop mana and set up. Frantic Search, Big Score and Storm-Kiln Artist generate the mana and cards that make a big Azula turn possible. Cheap interaction protects your position.
Mid: Attack with Azula and start copying. Even modest spells double in value, and Archmage Emeritus turns each one into extra cards. Combustion Technique and Reckless Ransacking become two-for-ones.
Late: With Treasure support from Storm-Kiln Artist and Big Score, a single combat step can chain several copied spells. Cunning Nightbonder makes that sequence harder to interact with.
Win conditions: Games end during one long attack step where copied burn and copied value spells either kill a player outright or leave you so far ahead the table cannot recover.
- Storm-Kiln Artist - Treasures off every spell to fuel the combat turn
- Archmage Emeritus - Draws a card for every copied spell
- Frantic Search - Free spell that digs during the attack
- Big Score - Refuels mana and cards mid-combat
