Looking for preference

If you like comboing out as soon as possible, thinking ahead, and not interacting with the board, go with Azami. She is an excellent combo commander and very fun to play. It's one of those decks where the true skill does not lie in the playing of the deck. It lies in the building of it. If you build it well, you will be able to combo off sooner. There are, of course, more controling, counter-heavy decks that run a lot of wizards, but the best Azami lists run more spells than wizards...much more. And they focus on comboing ASAP.

If you enjoy ramping with artifacts high above your opponents, while at the same time controling which spells resolve and which ones do not, and eventually smothering your opponent in sheer card advantage while stealing all of their stuff, Memnarch is the way to go. While a memnarch deck will not really combo off and win the game in one turn (although it can...{Basalt Monolith} + {Power Artifact} + {Blue Sun's Zenith}), it will take multiple turns in a row, ending with you holding many cards and your opponent left with nothing. So even though it isn't a combo deck, it feels kind of like one.

The main difference between memnarch and azami is interaction. Memnarch interacts with the board state a little more than azami, though different builds interact at various different levels. I have seen extremely interactive counter-heavy Azami decks, and balls-in combo memnarch decks.

Hope this helps your decision. Oh and by the way, you can have Azami+Mind over matter in a memnarch deck and you can have memnarh in an azami list! They may be different commanders but they share a common blue nature, and they work well together!

+1 and I like your explanation. My Azami list actually has roughly the same, if not slightly more Wizards than spells. That's because my EDH meta is super uncompetitive. I used to have the {Sensei's Divining Top} + {Future Sight}/{Magus of the Future} + {Helm of Awakening}/{Etherium Sculptor} combo in my deck, but I had to take it out because my friends like games to go longer. Even without it I still win 99% of EDH games at my shop.

Thanks a ton guys I love blue and I didn't have a hard combo deck yet and sense I already have a Karn edh a second artifact edh would be a little redundant. I will be looking into tracking down some of the stuff I need then getting started.

Anyone interested in checking out a game with my Azami list, take a look at this link. Just played a wall game that ended in me comboing for the win.

That was an awesome game I really like that play style with how you build her.

Thanks. I just put an {Ivory Tower} in there too. =P
