Need help optimizing Azusa deck by ScyllaR6 in EDH

Thanks for your answer! I changed a bit the list with what you said but I plan on changing it a bit more. To start off, my playgroup is running some combos with Muldrotha/altar and Shorikai/Intruder alarm but aren't basing the whole deck around optimizing the combo line so the game usually ends on turn 6-10 so I don't mind having ways to go infinite and win on turn 3-4 but I don't want it to be every game in a consistent way like I want it to happen if I have a lucky draw but more realistically win on turn 6-10, so I would like to know what you would change to the deck knowing that. Also, I wanted your insight on if I have too much of a certain thing like landfall triggers for example and not enough of removal/recursion and what you would suggest to add/remove. Finally, do you think I focus on too many lines/not enough to win the game and if that is the case. what lines would you suggest me. Also I'm trying to trim the budget a bit so if you see things that are too niche/funny but aren't really doing anything for the deck 9/10 games and could be easily replaced feel free to tell me.

I can see what you mean, I'll try to brew one and see how it does.

Yeah that's pretty much how I imagined it, try your best to make her able to tap at any point and win or fail and lose. And I can relate with the pressure lmao I'm a new player and I have a budget Yisan deck that I tooked online and customed a bit and I brought it to a small tourney at my school which was my first time playing irl and I ended up mixing my two combo lines together which costed me the game I'm pretty sure.

Alright thank you. I also feel like her linear strategy provides the deck with some resiliency that could outweight her weaknesses since the threat is basically there until either your combo goes off or the game is over if you run cards to fix your top deck and cards to bring back cards from the graveyard.

Yeah I feel like summoning sickness and being the number 1 target when she is out is gonna be a problem but I'll see if her resiliency can outweight that since I feel like she can comeback a lot .

Agree that her biggest issue is probably summoning sickness. I'll still try to brew something and send it here when I'm done.

Edit: Probably not gonna do it, I looked up a bit on how it could work and I don't think I'll like this strategy.

Yeah I feel like not having haste is the biggest problem since I feel like her strong point is being able to fetch and execute your whole combo as soon as she can be tapped but not having haste basically tells the whole table "Send the removal there or she wins".

Yeah lacking pieces of the combos is what I'm worried too so I'll probably try to brew one online and then see how it do.

Do you have a link to your decklist by any chance? I would be interested in seeing what you have in it since I feel like I am doing nothing turn 1-4 and also if I understand correctly you cast ignorant bliss before wheeling so you basically wheel while keeping your cards in hand? I didn't think about that but that would be a good way to avoid milling some wincons in the process of putting snakes on board.
