I've been meaning to put together an Ashling the Pilgrim Commander deck for a while now. It just seems like a whole lot of fun, but every time I sit down to do it, I get discouraged by not having all the cards I want to try out in the deck. I think having a list drawn out to work towards will help me, so I'm going to use this thread to do that and ask for advice and suggestions at the same time.
Here and there, I have grabbed Snow-Covered Mountains when I saw the opportunity. The dream would be to foil out my snow covered mountains for maximum pimp value, but that is still a ways off. Because snow, I'll be including Scrying Sheets and Mouth of Ronom in my deck, and possibly (a foil) Skred as removal. Furthermore, Extraplanar Lens will only show respect to other red mages who also have the prestige, culture, and influence to have snowy mountains shipped all the way to Louisiana.
I want to get my hands on every possible mana doubler I can, a la Caged Sun, and I also want to get my hands on many ways to make Ashling survive her own volatility. We have the technology (protection from red).
From there, I'd like to spruce the deck up with interesting and powerful interactions, along with the little bit of utility and card draw that is available to red.
Any suggestions? I'll start drafting a rough decklist some time today.
Just make the deck.
Grab out the best cards you have for the deck, throw in an obscene amount of mountains to start off, and shuffle up!
Half the fun of EDH decks is tuning it anyways.
Thats how I did it anyways
Great looking list btw! Ill have to pick up a couple of those cards for my ashling list!
