Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Elemental Kindred midrange strategy commanded by Ashling, the Limitless. Ashling grants every Elemental permanent spell in hand evoke {4} and creates a hasty token copy whenever a nontoken Elemental is sacrificed. This enables the deck to cheat expensive 6-to-8-drop Elementals into play ahead of curve while doubling their enter-the-battlefield and dies triggers. The deck accelerates in the opening turns using kindred mana dorks like Smokebraider and Bloom Tender, assembles its commander on turn 3, and begins evoking massive threats on turn 4. Engines like Risen Reef, Garruk's Uprising, and Shinestriker generate massive card draw, while payoffs like Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage, and Titan of Industry produce overwhelming board presence and direct damage. The deck wins by attacking with swarms of large, hasty Elementals and burning the table across turns 6 and 7.
