Maybe I am not just getting the point of all this but it seems that the Azorius has gotten the proverbial short end of the stick when it comes to the mechanic department.

Addendum is an added bonus on certain spells when you cast it on your turn or specifically on your main phase. What is annoying about this is that normally in control match ups you dont really want to spend that much mana on your own turn as much as possible. And what is the point if some of these cards are Instants , since you can only get the Addendum by playing it at the same time you could play a sorcery then it might as well have been a sorcery.

I don't know what happened when they were making this mechanic but it might be a new direction that the Azorius might be taking and that direction is toward Oblivion with mechanics such as this. But hey who knows in the next sets Addendum might be a thing and worth the investment. In the mean time I would rather play an instant at instant speed.
