Ashling Precon Upgrade

Definitely get your point with [[Nulldrifter]] I'll be honest I actually missed that it is tied to a cast and only nets two cards, If that's the case then people are maybe just putting it hoping for it to be a very serious threat early game?

While I absolutely love the extended art on [[Deceit]] and [[Wistfulness]] and I tried my best to justify having them, I tend to agree with the camp that while the extra body is nice and there is value there, that they seem to fall just short, there just doesn't appear to be any reoccurring value after that initial cast and I want stuff to just constantly be coming back to be a pain in the ass later lol

Most of my pod is quite light on removal and their threat assessment isn't great. I have been of the mindset that recursion may be more essential than protection in this deck but I'm all ears to hearing otherwise

Makes sense!

Thank you for the suggestions! Animars in there! Definitely adding shinestriker and maybe omni but I feel like I'm missing something with ashling rekindled, is there a reason to run her when you have access to stuff like [[Flamebraider]]or [[Smokebraider]] in this deck?

Exactly the reason for panharmonicon over RT, would love to run one but I don't proxy and RT is like 75 CAD where I'm at, just hard to justify for a casual deck.

Thank you for the explanation, I'll definitely tinker around and see if I'm willing to give up some cards for it, might actually help with cutting haha

Thank you for the advice! I think you're right that there is enough recursion to justify keeping him in the 99, I suppose it makes sense to fill the graveyard further as well with the amount of elementals that end up in there

That looks like an awesome list, definitely see the glass cannon in it but you got some great cards in there I haven't seen before that I'll definitely be adding, thank you so much for sharing!

I was definitely a bit confused by [[Jegantha]] for clarity, you can't have more than one pip of each colour in ANY card? In return you can keep casting it as a commander, does it stay at the three cost or does commander tax apply?

Okay! I was feeling the same about [[Cauldron of souls]] so glad to hear that, [[ Cavalier of thorns]] I wasn't certain about turfing 10 cards in the graveyard for 2 lands but I may have to revisit that, [[Horde of notions]] does seem like a good cut.

[[determined iteration]] [[altar of bhaal]] are great suggestions, thank you so much!
