There is a 1 drop that tutor a elemental

gusty charm
#

😮

surreal needle
#

[[flamekin elemental]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

feel like I should run bloom tender

surreal needle
#

Not you

surreal needle
#

Fae elder is good too

gusty charm
#

I have a playset of bloom tenders

#

[[faeburrow elder]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

eh I don't really want 3 drop rocks, but I'll put it in the maybeboard

surreal needle
#

There is some 2 cmc dorks that add 2 for elemental lol

gusty charm
#

yea I got both of those

#

[[flamebraider]] [[smokebraider]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

I got [[noble hierarch]] and [[ignoble hierarch]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
gusty charm
#

I want to limit non-elementals as much as possible but those mana dorks are juicy

#

why?

surreal needle
#

Slot

#

Prolly

#

Bant color don’t help you as much

gusty charm
#

[[urza's incubator]]?

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

Yeah it’s good

#

[[heartless summoning]] if you want it cheap

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

[[temur battlecrier]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

[[greater good]] seems to be unanimously good as well

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

I'm going to add termur battlecrier

#

wait does teferi's veil let you keep tokens o.o

#

[[teferi's veil]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

[[sundial of the infinite]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

there are a lot of good options for this deck XD

surreal needle
#

[[birthing ritual]] is my fav

pure tartanBOT
#

Enchantment
At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature, look at the top seven cards of your library. Then you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, you may put a creature card with mana value X or less from among those cards onto the battlefield, where X is 1 plus the sacrificed creature's mana value. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

gusty charm
#

also [[birthing pod]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

and I guess I should run [[food chain]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

In this deck ofc

#

Food chain is good even without squee

gusty charm
#

how is birthing pod restrictive?

#

the activation cost?

surreal needle
#

It’s have to me exact cmc no ?

#

Sac 2 get 3

#

Sac 3 get 4

#

I have to make a pod deck for it to work

gusty charm
#

I mean birthing ritual does the same thing

surreal needle
#

X or less

#

That the difference

#

Pod have to be exact

gusty charm
#

oh yea fair enough

surreal needle
#

Pod require you to build a deck around it almost

gusty charm
#

yea that's fair

#

you do get to search your library though

#

not just top 7

#

so it's easier to find what you need

surreal needle
#

Ritual just for me to not waste the token almost

gusty charm
#

I'm going with a sacrifice theme

#

wonder if I should run [[sacrifice]] and [[burnt offering]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

If you storm off then maybe ?

gusty charm
surreal needle
#

You either do heartless summon or animar

#

Can’t do both

gusty charm
#

why not

surreal needle
#

Animar will die

#

😂

gusty charm
#

so I won't play them both at the same time

#

is 3 board wipes too many?

surreal needle
#

[[sunderflock]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

@gusty charm

gusty charm
#

yea I got that, farewell, and toxic deluge

#

I'm going to bed though

olive fox
surreal needle
zinc cliff
#

Farewell is overrated

#

Just run more creature tutors for sunderflock

#

Lotta green instant tutors that sac a creature

#

[[Eldritch evolution]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

[[natural order]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

Damn both sorcery

#

Still really good

#

[[neoform]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

Cheap and very good

#

[[chord of calling]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

This deck basically needs ashling plus 2 other creatures on board to go infinite

#

So running a suite if tutors makes a lot of sense

surreal needle
#

Sunderflock have to be cast so there is a litmit on what tutor you can use btw @zinc cliff

zinc cliff
#

Oh lame

#

Tutors to battlefield are so much more fun

surreal needle
#

Most of ashling stuff need to be cast for benefit anyway

zinc cliff
#

Time to rethink my strategy

#

I was going to have 8 tutors to swap in for higher powered games

olive fox
surreal needle
#

It’s fine I’m some deck

#

Not this

viscid vault
#

risen reef is absolutely mad in this deck... I used to have a 60 card deck built around it and elementals etb, and you would basically end up with your entire deck in your hand but because it says look instead of draw, you aren't drawing... but man, if you copy risen reef a few times, and throw a zendikars roil in there following a landfall theme, the shit pops off and you need pen and paper to keep track of all the triggers xD

#

and I was trying to translate that 60 card idea into a commander deck for like 4 years now but never really got around to nailing it down... and then this deck came out and did the job for me lol

#

risen reef included

olive fox
#

Yeah

#

Risen reef is good here

viscid vault
#

that deck had a lotus cobra in it too which would go nutty with land drops especially if you had those cards that let you play more than one land, or use a bunch of fetch lands

#

pop off, drop a scampering scorchers, triggger it all again, elementals get haste, swing ftw, orrrrr, play a jace or lab man and draw a card ftw lol

zinc cliff
#

I added copy effects to this deck and if I get a copy of risen reef it's gg

viscid vault
#

100%

#

my goal is to adjust my deck a bit so that it more resembles teh landfall elemental deck I had as a 60 card version

surreal needle
#

Wizard see scam deck in other format and finally put it in commander through this precon

surreal needle
#

Ok solitude is in the deck

olive fox
#

[[promise of loyalty]]

pure tartanBOT
olive fox
#

this is a very good wrath in this deck

surreal needle
#

I thought you have a lot of creature on board

#

Honestly [[avatar wrath]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
surreal needle
#

This deck like to recur stuff back too

gusty charm
#

I run board wipes in case i fall behind

#

At which point killing my own stuff is agreeable

surreal needle
#

Not exile thou

gusty charm
#

So i lose 1 or 2 things, not a big deal

#

I'm not using it when I'm ahead

surreal needle
#

😔 you do you

gusty charm
#

It's good against my opponent's artifact and enchantment decks

surreal needle
#

You will end up with a lot of enchainment too lol

gusty charm
#

A necessary sacrifice

olive fox
gusty charm
#

I think I'm running8 enchantments

olive fox
#

I do agree that farewell is usually pretty extra

#

I like Promise because you can pseudo evoke your elementals

#

Since you sac all but 1

gusty charm
#

I'm trying to build the most efficient and high powr b3 version i can

#

So that i can keep up

olive fox
#

You keep ashling and sac everything else, and make copies of the nontokens you sacced to the Promise

gusty charm
#

[[Promise of power]]?

pure tartanBOT
olive fox
#

[[promise of loyalty]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

No that's not it

#

Ah ok

olive fox
#

Yesh

#

It happened today where someone cast and I realized “oh I get token copies”

gusty charm
#

I'm building a sac strategy so that coukd be useful

olive fox
#

Yeah

#

I think its a good wrath for this deck, and does great against most other deck types except voltron and maybe reanimator

gusty charm
#

Farewell is so useful thoughD:

olive fox
#

Eh

#

I prefer my stuff dying

surreal needle
#

I like farewell

#

But not in here

olive fox
#

Yeah

#

This deck wants stuff to get sacrificed

#

Edicts are way better here

gusty charm
#

Board wipes are meant to help even the playing field, not as synergy or a cmbo enabler

olive fox
#

They can absolutely be both

#

You just have to find the ones that make that work

#

Like Promise in a deck that likes saccing creatures

#

Or split up in a deck that likes to stay untapped or something.

gusty charm
#

So what do i do against my opponents artifact and enchantment strategies

surreal needle
#

ayy [[bane of progress]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

This MF is a elemental

gusty charm
#

I mean that's cool but triggering twice seems redundant lol

#

Also the artifact deck wants them in the gy

#

Makes the combos easier

#

I guess I'll go back to the old adae "player remova is the best removal"

zinc cliff
#

[[titan of industry]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

Typically does enough

surreal needle
gusty charm
#

His deck wants artifacts in the graveyard

surreal needle
#

[[no rest for the wicked]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

hmmmm

#

Nah

#

Slow

zinc cliff
#

The mdfc bojuka goblin isn't bad

#

You can run the other graveyard exile land too

gusty charm
#

Down with mdfcs! They are a commie plot!

surreal needle
#

I need a sponsor so I can get 10 copy of sink in the stupor

zinc cliff
#

Same

#

It's like a compulsion to try to add it to every blue deck

surreal needle
#

Same with [[bala ged discovery]] for me

pure tartanBOT
#

No card found for “bala ged discovery”

zinc cliff
#

Yeah

#

It's ridiculous

surreal needle
#

[[bala ged recovery]]

When this creature enters, destroy target artifact or enchantment an opponent controls.

#

I really enjoy hydroelectric specimen

surreal needle
gusty charm
#

I'm not running mdfcs sadly

zinc cliff
#

Why

surreal needle
zinc cliff
#

Run more lands

surreal needle
#

Cut all land only weird mana sources

gusty charm
#

I'm not running mdfcs because I'm trying to be as efficient as possible wth remova spells and the like

#

Bala ged recovery is very good though

gusty charm
#

@surreal needle still not done with ashling

surreal needle
gusty charm
#

yea

#

probably

gusty charm
#

I just don't see any good elementals lol

#

I have room for...27 more cards?

#

I think that's right

surreal needle
#

Most of them are crazy

#

Wdym

gusty charm
#

well the point is to evoke all of them right?

#

I guess I just don't see the wincon in the list I'm building

#

not combat damage

zinc cliff
#

[[shroud stomper]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

I'm good at combo decks but this is tough D:

zinc cliff
#

Are you trying to combo

gusty charm
#

no

#

I don't know what my wincon is though

zinc cliff
#

[[titan of industry]]

pure tartanBOT

#

[[havock elemental]]

pure tartanBOT
#

No card found for “havock elemental”

gusty charm
#

are those elementals actually that good or are there just no better options

zinc cliff
#

[[tyrant of progress]]

pure tartanBOT
#

No card found for “tyrant of progress”

zinc cliff
#

They are good

#

[[havoc eater]]

pure tartanBOT

[[tyrant of discord]]

pure tartanBOT
gusty charm
#

should I run [[jegantha]]?

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

Imo no

olive fox
#

eh

zinc cliff
#

Kinda trash

olive fox
#

it pays for an end step trigger usually

gusty charm
#

not as a companion, just in the 99

olive fox
#

yeah

#

it just pays for an end step trigger

zinc cliff
#

Doesn't do much

olive fox
#

its hard to make good use of it since it can't pay generic costs

gusty charm
#

how often does the deck pay for end step triggers

olive fox
#

for me, not often

zinc cliff
#

Basically never

gusty charm
#

so how does the deck win

zinc cliff
#

Graveyard shenanigans

#

To keep playing elementals

#

For huge value

gusty charm
#

most of the elementals edhrec is recommending are removal pieces

#

or pieces whose value only shines over multiple turns

zinc cliff
#

Edhrec is trash

gusty charm
#

it's really not

#

but ok

zinc cliff
#

For new decks

#

It's pretty bad

gusty charm
#

I'm also looking at other lists

zinc cliff
#

This is my current list

#

It's mutated a few times

gusty charm
#

what about [[moonshadow]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

Why

gusty charm
#

idk, just asking

zinc cliff
#

[[cavalier of flame]]

pure tartanBOT
#

Creature — Elemental Knight
mana1manar: Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain haste until end of turn.
When this creature enters, discard any number of cards, then draw that many cards.
When this creature dies, it deals X damage to each opponent and each planeswalker they control, where X is the number of land cards in your graveyard.
6/5

gusty charm
#

that seems kind of mid

zinc cliff
#

I mean moonshadow is a 7/7

#

This is a 6/5 that will also hit face for 3-5 damage

#

And a wheel

#

Technically a double wheel

gusty charm
#

I feel like I've already got the best elementals in the deck and the rest just have to be mid XD

surreal needle
#

[[nulldrifter]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

[[lamentation]]

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

[[jubilation]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

They are going to get called mid

#

Just wait

gusty charm
#

I have both of those

#

I don't understand jubilation though

#

since creatures don't really stay on the board

olive fox
olive fox
gusty charm
#

I am using birthing ritual/birthing pod

#

so yea I get that

olive fox
#

I wouldn't use pod for how specific it has to be

gusty charm
#

I just didn't see it XD

olive fox
#

but also the elemental that makes 3 tokens on ETB...

gusty charm
#

but you can search your whole library so it's easier to find stuff

olive fox
#

that's 6 bodies for 4 mana

gusty charm
surreal needle
#

I cut belonging

#

That card sucks ass

olive fox
pure tartanBOT
#

Creature — Elemental Incarnation
When this creature enters, create three 1/1 colorless Shapeshifter creature tokens with changeling. (They're every creature type.)
Encore mana6manawmanaw (mana6manawmanaw, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)
6/6

olive fox
surreal needle
#

I still win game

gusty charm
#

it's not bad

olive fox
#

because this card is so far from "ass"

4-mana 6/6 that makes 6 1/1s

surreal needle
pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

👍

olive fox
#

fuck rhystic study

#

anyways

#

"Belonging is ass" is maybe the silliest thing I've read today

gusty charm
surreal needle
#

After cream of the crop actually

#

😂

olive fox
#

also just having bodies is how you don't die on the crackback

Kind of like what happens in Bello

surreal needle
#

ayy this deck have too much removal

#

Crack back never happened

#

Maybe I’ll add belonging so it can be food for solitude

olive fox
#

oh so you just took out most of the board in favor of no board for everyone else

#

sounds boring

#

:p

olive fox
surreal needle
#

Eh I rather exile horde of nortion lol 😆

olive fox
#

but like, Jegantha, Muldrotha, Realmwalker, Selvala, Shatter the Sky, Timeless Lotus, Cream of the Crop, Abundant Growth, Fertile Ground, Hoofprints of the Stag

I'd easily cut all of those over Belonging

surreal needle
#

Muldrotha still here

#

For grindy game

#

Also

#

I have bling for that card

#

I have to cut my baby boy shriekmaw for solitude

gusty charm
#

muldrotha just seems lame tbh

surreal needle
#

😭 funny enough ashling having a 66% WR rn

#

But according to people my list is garbage lmao

gusty charm
#

don't let it get you down

#

your list works good in your meta ☝️

surreal needle
surreal needle
olive fox
surreal needle
#

I’m 8 for 12

#

Also @gusty charm ashling cedh become 5c lumbra deck

olive fox
#

im either 2/3 or 3/4

surreal needle
#

😂

olive fox
surreal needle
#

At least it’s flashy to look at

olive fox
#

my point stands

#

(its all preference, its fine)

gusty charm
surreal needle
gusty charm
#

I like lumra better

#

more consistent

surreal needle
#

Should I put my ashling deck together online

surreal needle
#

I wonder if [[subtlety]] even worth it in here

pure tartanBOT
muted mural
#

Plus: it's a free counterspell for at least someone's commander. It feels satisfying to play a complete horizontal cycle in a 5c deck.

Minus: ashlings ability doesn't do anything for this

#

Can this deck cedh and if yes is it better than just playing lumra in the zone?

surreal needle
#

And you can play breach

surreal needle
#

Also prolly cutting [[heartless summon]] now

pure tartanBOT
ruby cradle
#

Wait lowkey lemme make my own thread

zinc cliff
surreal needle
jovial brook
#

i pulled an anime moonshadow that i wanna put in deck any suggestions for what to cut for it even in an upgraded version? aka looking to upgrade the precon and want to add my anime moonshadow

#

maybe [[realmwalker]]?

pure tartanBOT
surreal needle
#

[[moonshadow]]

pure tartanBOT
zinc cliff
#

It's pretty bad

surreal needle
#

It’s not good in this deck

#

It’s a good card (in like mill strat)

zinc cliff
#

Very good in tayam

#

Essentially a game changer

surreal needle
#

It’s pretty ok modern 1 drop in black I think

#

In ashling it doesn’t do anything

#

Maybe 1 mana risen reef triggered ?

zinc cliff
#

Bleh

surreal needle
#

😂

olive fox
#

this is a dope card

#

it pairs well with that new Blight dork

#

but its not for this deck

gusty charm
zinc cliff
#

It can storm off with 2 cards + ashling

gusty charm
#

curious. what 2 cards?

zinc cliff
#

Any graveyard recursion+ either temur battlecrier or animar

olive fox
#

(notably ashling only gives evoke to elementals in hand)

zinc cliff
#

Yeah that's why a gyard recursion elemental is necessary

#

Led + a reducer + a gyard ele would do it too

#

For the any target recursion

surreal needle
#

Let it cook

gusty charm
#

I mean kefka was converting its first weekend D:

olive fox
#

I feel like that's a bit of an outlier kind of case tho

#

but what do I know

surreal needle
#

Ashling cedh is lumbra with breach on the side b

gusty charm
#

yea but lumra is plenty powerful enough on her own

#

we'll just have to wait and see I guess

ruby cradle
#

Ashling cEDH doesnt even run lumra

surreal needle
#

You can

ruby cradle
#

It’s not really good though

#

My list is posted and has been doing fine icl

ruby cradle
gusty charm
#

sisay is 5c

zinc cliff
#

Sisay is fine

ruby cradle
olive fox
#

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ruby cradle
#

the best player i know was like

#

one of the top cEDH ranked players in the world

#

playing sisay prebans

#

dude had a diabolical winrate

surreal needle
#

Upgrade for the best card in the deck

olive fox
#

I also pulled one of those

zinc cliff
#

That's hot

surreal needle
#

Idk what the next bling is now

#

Maybe [[$endurance]]

Enchantment — Room
Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature, look at the top seven cards of your library. Then you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, you may put a creature card with mana value X or less from among those cards onto the battlefield, where X is 1 plus the sacrificed creature's mana value. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Honestly I think I’m cutting all fetches from this deck

olive fox
#

yes...

#

good...

#

This deck doesn’t need color post turn 5 🤣

#

And this land base might be way too optimized

707.10 To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated. A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”) Choices that are normally made on resolution are not copied. If an effect of the copy refers to objects used to pay its costs, it uses the objects used to pay the costs of the original spell or ability. A copy of a spell is owned by the player under whose control it was put on the stack. A copy of a spell or ability is controlled by the player under whose control it was put on the stack. A copy of a spell is itself a spell, even though it has no spell card associated with it. A copy of an ability is itself an ability.

707.10a If a copy of a spell is in a zone other than the stack, it ceases to exist. If a copy of a card is in any zone other than the stack or the battlefield, it ceases to exist. These are state-based actions. See rule 704.

707.10b A copy of an ability has the same source as the original ability. If the ability refers to its source by name, the copy refers to that same object and not to any other object with the same name. The copy is considered to be the same ability by effects that count how many times that ability has resolved during the turn.

" ...A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”)... "

#

Evoke is an alternative casting cost and carries the additional effect

flint oracleBOT
#

702.74a Evoke represents two abilities: a static ability that functions in any zone from which the card with evoke can be cast and a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield. “Evoke [cost]” means “You may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “When this permanent enters, if its evoke cost was paid, its controller sacrifices it.” Casting a spell for its evoke cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.

Legendary Creature — Elemental Sorcerer
Elemental permanent spells you cast from your hand gain evoke mana4 as you cast them. (If you cast a spell for its evoke cost, it's sacrificed when it enters.)
Whenever you sacrifice a nontoken Elemental, create a token that's a copy of it. The token gains haste until end of turn. At the beginning of your next end step, sacrifice it unless you pay manawmanaumanabmanarmanag.

I sit on ashling and took 10-20 life out of people every turns

And called it profit

Or draws 5-15 cards every turn

Depend on how I feel

Then pass the turn with ashling a dork

And 2-4 value engine (enchainment)

I just make it close to impossible for people to attack me sometimes

that or I also just chunk everyone's life totals

I add back AoZ so I can close the game sooner

I do those things too fish, but there's also the mode in my deck of "hey there's like 15 creatures out here"

Lumra being good requires such a high density of lands

Lumra cEDH runs like 50 lands

Minstrel Lumra runs like 50+

If you put 50+ lands into an Ashling deck, the deck is just no longer good

if I wasn't wary about including non-elementals I'd try it

I think other 3CMC enchantment that do similar is better than this ngl

mighty belfry
#

but its also a cast trigger

gleaming summit

A cast trigger that does nothing but wasted mana if it gets countered. Like some one said above, theres alot of similar mana costing enchantments that creates tokens and such that dont leave the battlefield and are less susceptible to removal

It would not be ridiculous in cEDH

#

And I know they dont design for cEDH

#

But Im writing for cEDH

#

So the comment is in the context of cEDH

surreal needle
#

Nah even In cedh

#

This effect shouldn’t cost 1R

ruby cradle
#

It would just be a good 5c turbo list

surreal needle
#

Period

ruby cradle
#

It wouldnt be "ridiculous" or "nutty" or "huge impact on format"

olive fox
#

😐

ruby cradle
#

It would probably be the best pure 5c turbo list but that's not saying an incredible amount imho

surreal needle
#

People takes getting wild these days that storm’s take become tame

ruby cradle
#

Do you like play cEDH ?

surreal needle
#

Yes

olive fox
#

I do not but I know fish does

But even then I don’t think it takes the most seasoned wizard to know that ashling shouldn’t cost 2 mana

ruby cradle
#

Ashling should not cost 2 mana

#

But

#

Within the context of cEDH

#

It would be fine for Ashling to cost 2 mana

surreal needle
#

Still no

olive fox
#

Both in the context of c and in general

ruby cradle
#

Literally how

#

Theres still better turbo lists

#

And theres still better 5c lists

#

If its not literally the best thing of its archetype, then its fine

olive fox
#

You just said it would be the best turbo list if it was 2 mana lol

ruby cradle
#

No, I said it would be the best 5c pure turbo list

olive fox
#

And that’s just in the context of c

In the context of commander itself 2 mana is ludicrous as a suggestion

ruby cradle
#

Nobody is talking about outside of c?

surreal needle
#

The same context of you should make sissay 1W

#

Or najelaa 1R

ruby cradle
#

No

#

Because Sisay's effect is better

#

Sisay would literally still be a better deck than 1R Ashling

surreal needle
#

The one thing for sure that ashling is not a cedh commander Ive just been joking about it, its bracket for combo at best, but in the card design stand point making Ashling 1R would be like one of the most broken commander ever made prolly

ruby cradle
#

Dawg what

#

First of all Ashling is cEDH viable

#

😭

#

Second of all, I disagree

#

TnK would still be better

#

Sisay would still be better

#

Ral and RogSi, hell even Etali would still be better turbo lists

#

Maybe not Etali

#

Kinnan still takes "most broken 2 drop commander"

ruby cradle
# ruby cradle First of all Ashling is cEDH viable

(More on this: Ashling is at worst about as bad as Najeela, which is still viable, there's just not really much point in playing her over other 5c options. The existence of broken commanders in the same color doesn't make the other options unviable, it just makes them obsolete)

surreal needle
#

She’s like Najeela 5c pile with 1 pile of their wincon

#

Which like

#

Eh

ruby cradle
#

What do you mean

#

?

#

"1 pile of their wincon"

surreal needle
#

Like Najeela have the “Najeela pile”

#

That you can win with

#

Same as ashling

ruby cradle
#

The decks are fundamentally different imo but like sure

#

Its at least on par with Najeela

#

Which is at least a 5c commander with some utility

#

Which is cEDH viable

surreal needle
#

Yeah it’s just another Najeela

#

It’s there

#

But is it good ?

Idk

There are at least 2 meta decks in the pod at all times, usually 3-4

110.1 A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. A permanent remains on the battlefield indefinitely. A card or token becomes a permanent as it enters the battlefield and it stops being a permanent as it’s moved to another zone by an effect or rule.

The important part there in those is it says "card"

if its stops being a permenent then it should not be able to be targeted regardless

# pure tartan https://scryfall.com/card/c16/121/breath-of-fury

Breath of the fury is really only good in decks like winota. Where you can continously improve your board state and win on the spot. Alot of strong elementals are legendary, and thus not being able to pass around breath. But if your able to continously make tokens and sacrifice them to it. Non legendary. Then yes, imo would be an easy win con for the deck.

At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature, look at the top seven cards of your library. Then you may sacrifice a creature.

Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
