How it grades
Fundamentals 74/100. Plays like Elemental Tribal and Lands-matter.
This reads as Elemental Tribal · Lands-matter, built around Ashling, the Limitless. An Elemental deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the elemental count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Ashling, the Limitless sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is ramp (16 ramp effects (want 10+ for this curve for Elemental Tribal, your cost reduction counted)); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 5 draw effects (want 10+ for Elemental Tribal).
