Aziza, Mage Tower Captain

—

Aziza is a 2cmc RW legendary that copies any instant or sorcery you cast by tapping three untapped creatures — a powerful but creature-dense enabler. She shines as a Boros spellslinger/tokens commander, providing free copies of burn, removal, or token-doubling spells. The tap-three requirement makes her actively anti-synergistic with voltron (which runs few creatures) and stax-prison (which wants creatures untapped for blockers/taxes); she demands a board state before she delivers value.

• Tapping three creatures is an additional cost-like trigger condition, not a cost — the trigger goes on the stack when you cast the spell, then you choose whether to tap the creatures on resolution, meaning removal of Aziza in response doesn't prevent the triggered ability from resolving if she was already on the field when the spell was cast.

• In Boros (RW) colors, Aziza is most potent alongside token producers like Monastery Mentor or Goblin Rabblemaster, since those creatures can be tapped the turn they enter if haste or a prior board exists — building a self-sustaining copy engine.

• She effectively rewards going wide with small creatures rather than going tall, making her an unusual Boros card that discourages combat-first aggro in favor of a spell-plus-tokens hybrid plan.
