Fire Lord Azula

Fire Lord Azula is a 4/4 for 4 in Grixis that generates {R}{R} on attack (via Firebending 2) and copies every spell you cast while she's attacking — enabling explosive combat turns where cheap cantrips, rituals, or interaction get doubled. Signature in spellslinger and storm-adjacent shells that can cast multiple spells in a single attack window; the copy-on-attack trigger is powerful but telegraphed and requires Azula to survive to combat, making her a removal magnet.

• The Firebending 2 mana ({R}{R}) generated on attack can be spent on instant-speed spells cast during combat, which then get copied by Azula's second triggered ability — the two abilities are designed to combo with each other in the same attack step.

• Because the copy trigger fires for every spell cast while Azula is attacking (not just instants), holding priority during the declare-attackers step to cast sorcery-speed spells is NOT possible — only instants and abilities with flash are copyable in practice during a normal combat phase.

• In a storm or spellslinger shell, casting a single cheap cantrip during combat can chain into multiple copied draws, enabling a mini-storm turn even without traditional storm enablers; however, the window closes the moment combat ends.
