I am an azami edh player. And no, I don't play infinite combo azami. I build this deck without any infinite combo part like mind over matter.
Although I can pull some infinite extra turn with crystal shard and archeomancer sometimes with this deck.
I am wondering about Paradox Engine. It is a must have for Azami? While the ability to untap all my wizards and mana rocks is really interesting, I only run Gilded Lotus and Coalition Relic as my blue mana artifacts. I also don't run isochron scepter in my deck.
I am wondering if I put paradox engine into my deck is better than having Tamiyo or Karn. Because without Gilded Lotus in play, the only benefit I gain by untapping non land permanents is to draw more with azami's ability WHICH I can do the same with Tamiyo.
What is your opinion, fellow commanders?

Paradox Engine seems like a very strong inclusion for Azami, Lady of Scrolls, but the initial 5, and requiring the ability to cast spells after for it to do anything can be harsh.
Given your (brief) description of the deck, I doubt it is worthwhile, but would still be reasonable to at least test with.
I suspect you will want to add more acceleration &/or 'big mana' effects (preferably artifact mana) for it to be worth playing the majority of the time. Though if your local meta is slow enough, that may not be needed.
Paradox Engine would be great for Azami, but you will be going infinite with it. If you're deliberately building not to do that, I would not include Paradox Engine. You will either combo more than you want to, or play the card in a sub-par way in order to not combo.
If you're trying to avoid infinites, avoid Paradox Engine. It is extremely easy to hit infinite if you have nonland mana sources, and even easier if you have some means of card draw (which Azami gives you in spades with PE online).

Thx for your comments. Yeah I think I will avoid Paradox Engine. Because the only blue mana generators artifact that I run in my deck is only Gilded Lotus or maybe coalition relic. I run mostly colorless mana generators from artifacts, so playing Paradox Engine probably just give me 1 or 2 times (if I get lucky) to draw more from Azami's ability. So I stick with Tamiyo instead, since both have same cost and almost similar effect.

Not optimal, but good!
But bear in mind that it will go infinite with Gilded Lotus and Crystal Shard and any 2-drop wizard.
