If Azir is exhausted, can you still pay 1 power to trigger his action ability?

Ruling: Yes, you can use Azir's action ability even when he is exhausted because the ability does not require exhausting him as part of the cost.

Sequence:

• Declare using Azir's ability
• Pay 1 green power
• Target another unit you control
• The ability goes on the chain

Nuances:

• The ability can be used immediately after playing Azir, as it doesn't require him to be ready
