Budget deck : Azir, Emperor of the Sands

Azir, Emperor of the Sands makes a 2 Might Sand Soldier for 1 energy on any turn you play a gear. Sand Soldiers have Weaponmaster: each equips a gear for free as it is played, even one worn by another unit. Play a gear every turn and pass the best gear to whoever fights next.

Mulligans: keep a 1-cost gear (Doran's Shield, Soul Sword or Eye of the Herald), Guards! and Royal Entourage. Send back a hand with no gear: on a turn without one, the legend does nothing.

Early game: a 1-cost gear, then the legend: 2 energy. With 4, add Disciple of Shen or Brutalizer. With 6: gear, legend, Royal Entourage to ready it, legend again. Take your own battlefield first: Ornn's Forge makes your first gear each turn 1 cheaper, and each conquest of Hall of Legends readies the legend for 1.

Mid game: Brutalizer is +3 the turn it is attached: give it to that turn's attacker. Hand Hammer is +3 at a battlefield with exactly one other unit of yours. Eye of the Herald makes a 1 Might Recruit wherever its unit moves. Soul Harvest kills a unit of 3 Might or less at a battlefield. Disarming Rake kills a gear on arrival. Herald of Spring brings 2 XP: at 3 XP, Soul Sword is +2.

Late game: Shen, Scourge of Shadows is a 6 for 5. Pair him with Disciple of Shen and nothing else: Disciple defends as a 4, Shen draws on every hold. Once per turn, even in a showdown, Azir, Ascendant pays a Calm rune to swap places with a unit of yours and take one of its gear: a 9 with B.F. Sword. Twilight Shroud is the insurance before you attack: +1, and enemy spells and abilities can't choose the unit this turn. Then it plays again from the trash for 2.

Mistakes to avoid: - A turn with no gear - Royal Entourage before you have used the legend - Brutalizer attached a turn early - A third unit next to Shen, Disciple of Shen or Hand Hammer
