Saved commander deck
Fire Lord Azula
Cast cheap instants and sorceries on opponents' turns to trigger Azula's copy ability, winning via commander damage from her prowess or massive burn spells.
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 and use viable instant speed / flash spells that Azula can copy. 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.
