A few things to note about this list.  As a turbo list, it is specifically designed to get Azi out turn 1 in the vast majority of games.  We have 12 combo pieces that we need (Throne and both Azis).  We have a whopping 21 cards that draw more cards or directly search for the pieces.  At 33/50 cards, this comprises 2/3 of our deck.  All of these cards are dedicated to turboing Azi Dahaka on to the board.

We don't have this insane consistency just for giggles, either.  We're more ambitious than that.  We also want to get out Azi #2.  And maybe Azi #3.  The ability to swing with so many high-threat cards really makes the deck pack a punch, and getting out these cards through a combination of ways is really important to making the deck work as a whole.

Let's discuss the new additions.  Sky Dragon Divinity is a new draw 2 spell that can put cards back into the deck.  This is very useful for us because we can play it and Divine Dragon Creation in the same turn to hit our early set-up.  While there is a chance for it to be a dead card later in the game, it still offers us the invaluable asset of placing Aqulta Gwaneffs not just back into our deck, but at the bottom of our deck, which is exactly where we want them.  Dragon Flame Cascade is the only iffy card many people would consider a poor choice for running.  However, this is in consideration of the current metagame.  Superheroines are played frequently and topping a bunch, and Pillars, though small in number, consistently top due to their natural ability to easily proc their abilities that require multiple cards on the field.  Cascade shuts down both of these decks, and does nifty things in a few other match-ups.  Everything else is pretty easy to understand.  Of the remaining 17 cards, 8 are Dragon Shields.  One is a revivable sack-bot.  Rineryusho and Aqulta Gwaneff are the remaining cards, and are the keys to the combo plays this deck seeks to accomplish.
