-It could theoretically hold off boggles, infect, storm, or burn decks off for a single turn... if this cart didn't cost too much. Most of the decks that rely on instant and sorcery spells to win will do so before you get this card off.
-This card is subpar in a mirror matchup when compared to something like Nezahal. The lack of protection allows your opponent to path your sphinx right after it reaches the battlefield (also a problem against Abzan)... assuming that they don't just counter it.
-This card seems hilariously bad in a match-up against Tron, seeing as they will likely get out their beaters before Azor sees play.
-Jund may be this card's "best" match-up, seeing as this card dodges both lightning bolt and fatal push. If your opponent fails to nail this card down with a thoughtsieze, they'll often need a shadow or LotV to knock this card down. Even then, though, the card just isn't that great...
If the first ability worked for more than just one turn, it could hose a few deck types effectively. If the second ability wasn't tied to an attack trigger, this card might help you stabilize against "fair" decks. As it is, though, I'm not expecting much from Azor.
