As you may have noticed, most of the creatures are wizards to take advantage of Azami's ability. Nothing new here, pretty much standard stuff. Wins usually come from Palinchron+ Caged Sun into infi mana, then Capsizeing the board. Or the standard Mind Over Matter+Azami. All suggestions welcome.
Trickery is straitforward, its Dissipate #2, and in a singleton format, repetition is value.
The trap has multiple functions. It offers some options when tapped out, which is welcome when your wallet can't afford Force of Will. Second, it gives a big middle finger to uncounterable spells, because it doesn't counter spells, it exiles them. And lastly, it exiles the card, making it yet another Dissipate, because if the card is worth countering, theres a good chance you don't want it coming back.
Foil is simply a poor mans force. Holding an island when it's in your hand is no biggy in my opinion, and it IS easier to hard cast and it DISCARDS the cards you pitch, not exiles, which can matter.
I get that Usher can tutor for MoM, Time Spiral is just awesome, Sigil Tracer is cool with Turnabout, but why are the other 2 "staples"?
As you said, Usher can tutor for MoM and Time Spiral is just awesome.
The other two I mentioned are Long-Term Plans, which can also tutor for MoM (or anything else), and Sapphire Medallion, which saves you massive amounts of mana as long as it sticks on the field (nearly every spell Azami runs, including Azami herself and MoM, has a cost that is a mixture of X and U, and therefore just about every card in your deck receives the benefit of the Medallion. It's like a Helm of Awakening for you only.
All four of these cards belong in every Azami list ever.

Those might be a bit too cute. They're sorta meh without Azami in play.
