Granting Evoke to every Elemental spell while duplicating sacrificed non-token creatures into hasted token clones transforms standard creature casts into explosive value chains. On Moxfield’s high-power and competitive tribal charts, few commanders offer as much recursive velocity as Ashling, the Limitless.
As a 2/3 Legendary Elemental Sorcerer costing two generic mana (), Ashling commands a five-color identity (). She grants Evoke to every Elemental permanent spell cast from your hand and creates a hasted token copy whenever you sacrifice a non-token Elemental. By combining cheap Evoke triggers with Elemental payoffs like Risen Reef, free sacrifice outlets like Ashnod’s Altar, and token multipliers like Roaming Throne, Ashling chains rapid enter-and-exit triggers to flood the board and drain opponents in a single turn.
Here is the strategic operational blueprint of Moxfield’s premier Ashling list, detailing how to abuse Evoke discounts and death-copy mechanics for total table domination.
1. Core Mechanics & Strategic Phases
Succeeding with Ashling requires an expansive five-color mana base, density of high-impact Elementals, free sacrifice outlets, and ETB/LTB trigger multipliers.
-
Early Game (Turns 1–2): Fix your five-color mana base using dorks like Birds of Paradise and fast fetches, then deploy Ashling early on Turn 2.
-
Mid Game (Turns 3–4): Evoke mid-to-high cost Elementals like Shriekmaw or Solitude. Sacrifice them upon entry to create immediate hasted token copies, triggering Risen Reef or Omnath, Locus of Rage repeatedly.
-
Late Game (Turns 5+): Assemble infinite sacrifice loops using Ashnod’s Altar or Intruder Alarm, generate infinite mana, and finish opponents with direct damage via Goblin Bombardment or an overwhelming hasted overrun.
2. Moxfield Highlights: Elemental Catalyst
The highest-rated community lists on Moxfield optimize Ashling by pairing her Evoke-granting ability with sacrifice outlets, value engines, and cost reducers.
Risen Reef / Omnath, Locus of Rage
The core engine drivers. Every time an Elemental enters the battlefield—whether cast directly, evoked, or created as a token clone by Ashling—Risen Reef puts a land into play or draws a card, keeping your momentum going uninterrupted.
Ashnod’s Altar / Goblin Bombardment
Essential sacrifice outlets. Converting evoked Elementals and their temporary token copies into mana or direct ping damage allows you to refund your spell costs while triggering LTB abilities at instant speed.
Solitude / Subtlety / Grief
Incidental pitch-Evoke synergies. Elementals with intrinsic Evoke abilities trigger Ashling immediately, granting you double interaction triggers (such as exiling two creatures or stripping two cards from hands) for zero mana.
Brighthearth Banneret / Urza’s Incubator
Tribal cost reduction. Lowering the generic mana cost of your Elementals enables you to chain multiple Evoked spells per turn cycle, multiplying Ashling’s token generation exponentially.
