The Commander
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may tap three untapped creatures you control. If you do, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Guide
Gameplan
Aziza turns a wide board into a spell-copying engine: flood the battlefield with creatures, then tap three of them to double up every instant and sorcery you cast. You build a token army early, then chain burn, removal, and pump spells that get copied for free to either kill the table or buff your team into a lethal alpha strike.
Strengths
- Free spell copies double burn, removal, and combat tricks without extra mana
- Naturally rewards going wide, so tokens and creature density already help the gameplan
- Cheap two-mana commander that comes down early and is hard to cost-effectively answer
- Strong board-based combo finishes that don't rely on a huge mana pool
- Boros gets unusually deep card advantage via copied draw/impulse spells
Weaknesses
- Tapping three creatures conflicts with attacking the same turn
- Useless without bodies on board, so heavy on creatures while wanting spells too
- Board wipes set you back twice—both your tokens and your engine
- Wants both a wide board and a strong spell base, straining a two-color deck
- Red-white lacks good card draw and ramp outside of what the engine generates
Key Cards
- Young Pyromancer — Each instant/sorcery makes a token, refueling the bodies you tap for Aziza's copies.
- Monastery Mentor — Generates Monk tokens off noncreature spells to keep three creatures available to tap.
- Jeska's Will — A copied ritual plus card draw explosively refills hands and mana to chain more spells.
- Increasing Vengeance — Stacks with Aziza so a single spell resolves three or more times.
- Comet, Stellar Pup — Pumps out tokens and value to fuel the tap cost while threatening big swings.
- Reverberate — Cheap copy effects layer on top of Aziza for absurd burn or removal multiplication.
Upgrade Path
Add fast token producers (Young Pyromancer, Monastery Mentor, Hanweir Garrison) and efficient copy spells (Reverberate, Increasing Vengeance) so the engine snowballs faster. Improve the spell base with high-impact targets like Jeska's Will, Devil's Play, and tutorable finishers, and add protection like Deflecting Swat and Teferi's Protection to survive wipes. Tighten mana with on-color rocks and Boros ramp to push toward a focused burn-storm or token-overrun kill.
