Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color kindred midrange strategy commanded by Ashling, the Limitless. The primary game plan revolves around exploiting Ashling's ability to grant evoke {4} to any Elemental permanent spell cast from hand. When an Elemental is cast for evoke, its enters-the-battlefield ability triggers, followed by its sacrifice trigger; Ashling then copies the sacrificed nontoken Elemental, creating a hasty token that triggers its enters-the-battlefield ability a second time. This engine generates immense card advantage through cards like Mulldrifter, Risen Reef, and Shinestriker, while ramping rapidly into high-cost threats. The deck converts this value into victory by Turn 6 via wide combat attacks buffed by Jubilation, token floods from Avenger of Zendikar, direct burn from Champion of the Path, or one-sided board wipes like Raise the Palisade and Sunderflock. Mass graveyard recursion through Patriarch's Bidding and Haunting Voyage provides late-game resilience.
