āAzorius Replenish is a combo-control deck that uses Attunement and Frantic Search to rapidly cycle enchantments into the graveyard, then reanimates them all at once with Replenish. The primary win condition is resolving Opalescence alongside Parallax Wave or Decree of Silence to lock the opponent out of the game while attacking with animated enchantments. The deck uses counterspells and Swords to Plowshares to survive long enough to assemble the combo, with Ancient Tomb providing the fast mana needed to deploy threats ahead of schedule.ā

Meddling Mage names a card for both players, so pick one your own plan can do without, and meanwhile it attacks for 2. Defense Grid makes each spell cost {3} more except during its controller's turn. It doesn't touch Replenish, since that is a sorcery and can only be cast on its caster's own turn. What it does tax is their instant-speed plays on your turn (Swords to Plowshares, Abeyance, Intuition, Frantic Search), which makes it harder for them to interrupt your setup. It taxes your own instants on their turn in the same way, so lean on your own-turn plays. Abeyance comes out since both players are racing to resolve the same combo rather than fighting through instant-speed interaction, and Seal of Cleansing is trimmed since their enchantment-based threats are the same ones you want to keep alive (Opalescence, Parallax Wave, Decree).
Defense Grid is the key sideboard card here: it makes every spell they cast on your turn cost {3} more, which shuts down their ability to Stifle or Vision Charm the Phyrexian Dreadnought trigger, counter your Replenish, or hold up Daze and Foil efficiently. Meddling Mage naming Stifle or Counterspell adds a second layer of protection for your combo turn while also being a clock. Abeyance is cut since it is redundant with Defense Grid's effect and weaker against free spells like Daze and Misdirection, and Seal of Cleansing has few profitable targets against their nearly creatureless, enchantment-light list.
Exalted Angel is a durable flying blocker that gains life whenever it deals damage, helping stabilize against this Goblin deck's wide boards and Siege-Gang Commander tokens. Decree of Silence is too slow and mana-hungry against an aggressive creature deck that doesn't rely heavily on spells to win, so it is cut. Prioritize Swords to Plowshares and Parallax Wave on their biggest threats like Siege-Gang Commander and Goblin Warchief, and race toward Replenish plus Opalescence to stabilize the board with a wall of enchantment creatures.
