Maybeboard


The goal of this deck is to control the battlefield with earthquakes and Ashling's activated ability. The Primary win conditions are, commander damage and burn via Ashling's activated ability/Burn Spells.

Mechanics:

  • Ashling - Board control and commander damage.

  • Red "Wraths" - Earthquake like effects to control the board and lower life totals.

  • Mana Acceleration - Pump Ashling and fuel earthquakes.

  • Card Draw/Advantage - It can take a lot of mana and cards to whittle down 40 life on 3 opponents.

  • Equipment - Support Ashling and keep her alive. Protection from Red and Indestructible means she survives her activated ability and maintain control of the board.

  • Life gain - Ashling and most of my wraths hit everyone, so life gain helps keep you ahead of the race enabling you to earthquake for lethal damage.

Updates Add

The Equipment that I added has been an invaluable addition to Ashling. Most impressive are the artifacts that keep Ashling from dying (Sword of Fire and Ice, Magebane Armor, Sword of War and Peace, and Darksteel Plate) when she "pops", it saves you a whole turn to recast her. Second would be life gain, Ashling gets lots of hate and she also deals damage to her controller, so life total is critical.

I am not sure if it is bad luck or if I need to keep tweaking the deck, but I am still trying to figure out card advantage in this deck. Ashling doesn't win fast and it doesn't take long to run out of cards and get "wrathed" back to the stone age with no way to rebuild. Some of the newest card advantage additions are Graveyard based, because red card advantage is hard to come by.

Controlling the board has been going better than expected, but I am still tweaking this part as well.

In conclusion, the equipment has been good so far, still tweaking the card advantage and board control, still experimenting with the lands, and I am still unhappy with nearly every creature in this deck.
