Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color Elemental tribal midrange build commanded by Ashling, the Limitless. It accelerates mana on Turns 1 and 2 using specialized dorks like Smokebraider and Flamebraider alongside cheap artifacts and land auras. Once Ashling enters on Turn 3, every Elemental permanent spell in hand gains an evoke cost of {4}. When an Elemental is cast for evoke, it enters, triggers its enter-the-battlefield ability, and is sacrificed. Ashling triggers upon the sacrifice, immediately creating a hasty token copy that enters the battlefield and fires the same ability a second time. This engine generates immense card advantage through Mulldrifter and Risen Reef, while setting up game-ending boards on Turn 5 with Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage, and Champion of the Path. The deck protects its plays with countermagic and uncounterable mana, overwhelming all three opponents on Turn 6 with wide combat attacks and direct burn.
