Strategic Overview

Selesnya Company aims to overwhelm Azorius Control with a steady stream of creatures and card advantage from Collected Company. Focus on deploying threats that can dodge or resist control spells, and use your disruption to protect your board. Azorius Control should aim to stabilize the board with removal and counterspells, leveraging card draw to outlast Selesnya's aggression.

Supreme Verdict is crucial for clearing the board, while Dovin's Veto helps counter key spells like Collected Company. Rest in Peace can disrupt graveyard synergies. Remove less impactful cards like Censor and Azorius Charm that are weaker against aggressive creature strategies.
