Saved commander deck
Fire Lord Azula
Embrace Azula's ruthlessness by using Grixis control to clear the path for high-power commander strikes while pinging opponents with fire and lightning. The deck combines aggressive equipment and spells to buff Azula with alternative burn and creature-based win conditions.
Prompt: I would like to build a Commander deck that has the card "Fire Lord Azula" as the commander. The deck's playstyle should reflect Azula's personality when she was the Fire Lord. The deck should have a couple of win cons planned around pumping the commander for commander damage, a couple of deal burn damage win cons and a couple that don't rely on the commander at all. ideally make use of all grixis colours and keep card prices below $5.00 per card.
