Azorius Tempo presents a board of cheap, evasive creatures — Momo, Friendly Flier, Sage of the Skies, and Cosmogrand Zenith — that can quickly apply lethal pressure if left unanswered. Deathmark is a one-mana sorcery that answers virtually every white creature in their deck, providing efficient removal that keeps you from falling behind on board. Intimidation Tactics disrupts their combat step and can force unfavorable attacks or blocks, buying crucial time to stabilize. Nowhere to Run permanently exiles a key threat like Quantum Riddler or Haliya, Guided by Light, removing a card their tempo plan depends on. Prioritize using Deceit and Requiting Hex on their creatures immediately, and save Duress for stripping Practiced Offense or countermagic they might bring in from the board.
