I primarily use this site for deck-building, as in the entire creative process for compiling a deck. I think it would be beneficial if several features were included to better support that niche, such as:

  • Individual card notation - Enabling notes on specific cards in a deck in order to better track their purpose, synergies ect.

  • Consideration category - As of now, I simply dump cards into the sideboard category of whichever deck I am building in order to keep track of every option I am considering. Having a separate, hideable category just for that purpose would keep the UI clean, and could segregate those cards from the pricing of the entire deck.

I know you folks are working hard, this is just food for thought. Thanks

Welcome!

It looks pretty solid. There are only a few things I would suggest.

For one, have a close look at the mana costs of your cards (you can use the Statistics page to see what is called your decks "mana curve": Tools > Statistics). Most of your spells are in the 3 or higher range. This isn't a bad thing, but you may want more than 20 land for that "high" a curve. You may run into situations where you aren't going to draw enough, or the right type, of land.

Another thing you may want to think about is theming your deck around pulling cards back to your hand. Many of the Azorius creatures have great come into play effects, Detain being the most prominent example. You already have cards which do this in Aether Adept and Mist Raven, but another option would be Deputy of Acquittals. As a 2 drop, it gives you more bodies early in the game as well as giving you more power with your Detain creatures. It also has flash, so it more or less acts as a Dramatic Rescue if needed, being playable on your opponents turns. For instance, on your turn you play Azorius Arrester. Before your next turn, you play Deputy of Acquittals to save a creature, or bring Arrester back to your hand to Detain again (maybe even both if Arrester was blocking that turn)!

That was a bit of a tl;dr, but I hope it helped.
