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

Question

Accepted Answer

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
