Here's an Azami deck I built. I took it to a casual playgroup once and the outrage it caused pretty much assures I will never play with it again. Infinite turns for me does not equal fun for anyone else.
I didn't build in all the infinite combo possibilities (specifically, the infinite mana combos), but even without them this deck is pretty brutal. Very fun, and easy to put together for less than $70. The Mind Over Matter, Memnarch, Time Warp, and Gauntlet of Power cost me about 5 bucks each, but most of the other stuff here was dirt cheap. I already owned a Venser, Shaper Savant, Sol Ring, Mana Vault, and Cryptic Command, those would push the deck value closer to $100. Honestly, the deck only needs those previous 4 and a bunch of wizards to do its thing. Everything else is gravy.
Plan A: Azami, Mind Over Matter, Psychosis Crawler
Plan B: Azami, Mind Over Matter, bunch of wizards, Empyrial Plate
Plan C: Azami, bunch of wizards, Turbulent Dreams
Plan D: Take 5 turns in a row, do something obnoxious (probably involving Lorthos)
Plan E: Bunch of mana and Memnarch
Plan F: Plan Blightsteel Colossus to the face
My build doesn't use much counter, instead I am looking for my wizards to keep things tapped and bounce things back until I can get the combo out. Turbulent Dreams is incredibly nasty in this deck. Ixidron is a nice way of stalling opponents while you get the combo going.
Be prepared to draw a big ole gulp of haterade; defense has to be this deck's priority. Were I to revise this deck, I would look to add more low mana cost defense and remove some of the overkill cards, particularly Thought Reflection
"For me metaphysics means something more like realism. That there is a reality that escapes any of its manifestations. You can never be quite sure what it is, but you can offer some description of what the structures of reality are." Graham Harman, The Prince and the Wolf
I really like this deck I have a mono blue thada adel tribal deck and i know what you mean about drawing hate.
as soon as everyone sees mono blue they expect counters out the azz so defense is hard to come by.
I run gigadrowse and inundate as finishers but board wipe really hurts if i don't have a counter I am thinking of adding more equipment.
I will post my decklist soon so we can compare it is a little different mine is tribal merfolk/wizard (most of the cards are both) I would consider adding thada adel to your list she is amazing for edh
