could someone please tell me the general that revolves around the 99 mountain EDH deck. i cannot remember for the life of me what the name of the card is. im sure someone has asked this before but i just joined the site about 5 seconds ago. for those of you who dont know the name of the card the ability is 1R add a +1/+1 counter to whatever the name is and if 3 or more counters were put on in the same turn then remove all counters and it deals damage equal to its counters to everything.

is there an elemental that lets you search for other elementals in your deck? because the metagame i play everyone and their mother uses hinder and it would suck if my general was hindered/hallowed burial. so is there anyway i might be able to search it out

yeah its fantastic even in multiplayer and especially in single player. you just pound away with your low casting cost general and then kill off all your opponents at roughly the same time. its great because since its such a low cost its really not a huge deal if she gets terror'd or terminated etc...

If you want to never miss a land drop, you only have to play 93 mountains. With only 6 nonland cards in the deck, you have to have atleast one land opening hand.
yes pithing needle on ashling would shut the deck down. however, in my meta game nobody, and i mean nobody, plays pithing needle in EDH. and thank you for pointing out that i only need 93 mountains and that way i can put in some really essential cards in the deck like flamekin harbringer, shatter, gamble, etc... and slivortal thank you for the help but i must say that Imperial recruiter is much more than i would actually like to spend. and since i dont have imperial recruiters just floating around my house i think im gonna have to pass on the $175 price tag. but thanks anyway

I can certainly understand the desire to make an unusual deck, but you're only neutering the deck by running 90+ mountains. Seriously, if you ran 40 mountains in your deck, you would almost never miss a land drop AND you would have room to run lots of other good stuff.
I want to "thank" the guy that put up that stupid list on DailyMTG.
Don't be lazy. There's lots of good stuff that could go in there in place of a deck full of mountains. Gauntlet of Power and Extraplanar Lens come to mine first and foremost. Couple those with every single Demonfire/Banefire effect out there, and work from there.
i know there are several possibilities but the list i would like is the most mountains possible and just a few search/removal cards. im thinking like 90 mountains, but thanks for your input

...Yeah, but the problem is that he's still playing red, by far the worst color in EDH

Just trying to help. I've always thought one of the best things about EDH is the variety offered by the style of deck construction. In my opinion, playing 90+ basic mountains in a deck removes the greatest element of this format.
A whole lot of nothing. The deck dies to a well timed Faith's Fetters.
If you wanted to make a 99 land EDH deck, you're way better off going with Azusa, Lost but Seeking and man lands, and even then, you can't run multiples of all the really great lands. Smart money would be to branch into green land manipulation at the very least along with a whole bunch of other land related, non land stuff.
I still don't understand. Is he just going to keep pumping the General twice a turn until it's pumped up enough to deal a buttload of damage to the opponent and himself, all the while being slapped around defenseless? Maybe I'm missing some subtle point my feeble mind has yet to comprehend.

It's not subtle. The deck is just bad. The basic idea is to pump Ashling and swing with her, then pop her, and hope nobody else is running WUBRG or artifacts, since each of those has ways to deal with the stupid thing. Yes, even a *mono green deck* can easily handle this creature. Crop Rotation into a Maze of Ith, use artifacts to tap it down/Needle it, Utopia Vow, Lignify, Yavimaya Hollow, Troll Ascetic, Tower Above, Provoke, or even Words of Wilding will kill an Ashling based deck with 99 basic lands.
