Francesco Neo Amati, a.k.a Azorius Sage

Is a Modern Azorius Control/Midrange Guru from New Jersey who has devoted himself to the archetype since 2011, dating back to Caw Blade in Standard. His passion for Azorius is unique as he is the founder and Community Manager of the largest Azorius (and archetype-based) community on Facebook and in the world. Since 2016, he’s utilized this platform to keep Azorius players informed with the latest updates and meta developments.

He has also created dozens of insightful guides, recently composed the biggest Azorius primer in Modern history spanning over 70 pages with live updates, and wrote several articles, such as Cracking the Modern Code, displaying his keen understanding of fundamental skills and design principles, strategy, tactics, and technical play, metagaming, and how to design and play Azorius in Modern.

Francesco is always searching for ways to help players improve and adapt Azorius to the ever-changing Modern landscape. So, if you’re interested in learning and improving as a deck builder or player, or you’re a knowledgeable and experienced player who wants to take their game to the next level, Francesco is the Coach you are looking for.

MTGO sessions are only for 1 1/2 to 2+ hour sessions. Francesco will look over your lists & provide suggestions/feedback, can play in practice games , and even have practice 1v1 matches!

"Francesco is tireless when it comes to working on and developing UW Control to find the best versions, lists, and plans to take on the ever-changing Modern landscape."

-Brian Braun-Duin

"In addition to being a great Magic writer, Francesco is one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated members of the Magic community that I know. As the metagame has evolved, he's found countless tweaks and additions to help UW decks survive and thrive, from before the unbanning of Jace through the Phoenix era. He's always happy to bounce ideas back and forth to figure out the best way to approach new problems.”

- Ben Hill (BennyHillz)

"When it comes to building up players of any level, the only person I can recommend is Francesco Amati. A pillar in the UW/x community. Francesco is able to see metagames adapt ahead of time, and has been innovating non-stop, along with the community he has worked hard to build up around him. He would rather see others succeed with his help than be "right" and this shows with how he is able to handle criticism, or apply critical thinking with just the right amount of off-the-wall spice that can truly make or break a deck/format.

Thanks for the Narset technology, GP Brisbane 21st place, baby!

“When I think of Francesco, I think of a Blue White Control/Midrange aficionado. Why? Because Francesco gives countless hours of his time to provide in-depth analysis of his deckbuilding for the vast modern format.”

-Jonathan Hobbs

“Francesco is the most devoted Magic player I’ve ever met. Not a day goes by without multiple excited messages from him, tweaking some little thing about a deck or the Modern metagame; he’s always doing everything possible to play the best game of Magic he can.

Francesco’s also been hugely helpful to me personally in my play, often recommending cards that I really need to be playing like Runed Halo, which has now been seen all over the format to combat Phoenix and more.”

-Kasriel Kuropatwa
