This Azula is the new legend - there's a dimir shaped hole that wanted filling among the decks I have and she fits the bill.

moxfield.com/decks/7i3j0f...
Azula, Cunning Usurper 2 generic, 1 blue and 2 black Legendary Creature - Human Noble Rogue Firebending 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, add {R}{R}. This mana lasts until end of combat.) When Azula enters, target opponent exiles a nontoken creature they control, then they exile a nonland card from their graveyard. During your turn, you may cast cards exiled with Azula and you may cast them as though they had flash. Mana of any type can be spent to cast those spells. 4/4

Jund as a land engine is a tale from 2018 but...I'm enjoying this 2025 remake. Part of it may or may not be to do with being able to throw it into a volcano repeatedly.

A single Cloudshift becomes so much value thanks to 4 Wernog triggers. The regular leaving, the token entering, the regular coming back and the token leaving due to the legend rule.
