Notes
 
29-05-2023: ♻️ Disbanded (Recycled)
Yep, went through with the idea! Ashling is now part of the 99 of Samut. I may revive Ashling sometime but perhaps let Themberchaud helm the deck as he also deals damage to everyone and everything.

22-07-2023: Diederik out of nowhere gave me a binder with a lot of awesome cards. It holds one specific Boros angel: Anya, Merciless Angel. She's underplayed and named as one of the worst Boros Commanders, but I think this little angel can sneak in surprise kills if I play this intelligently.

---

As much as I love the charm of Ashling, I haven't played her in a long time. I recently got hold of Samut, who seems like a very fun commander. As such, I may repurpose Ashling to become a Gruul stompy deck. It is still focused on throwing a lot of damage, possibly.

#3: 15-06-2019
[ADDED]
- Tectonic Reformation -> Land cards in hand now have Cycling for M, which is on par with what Aggressive Mining does but for my hand. Extremely good to have, even early on because I play a f*ckton of Mountains anyway.

[REMOVED]
- Dragon Mantle -> was in line to be replaced anyway.

#2: 19-05-2019
[ADDED]
- Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion -> Trample, allows us to discard cards and draw cards to generate red mana which we can use to blow up more stuff.
- Ashling's Prerogative -> Odd OR Even gets haste. Other options enters tapped. Good for 1R randomness.

[REMOVED]
- Pithing Needle -> Way too limited in EDH, better use in mono-white control.
- Incendiary -> was fun with fuse counters, but versus Dragon Mantle (other pending card) it doesn't draw us new resources.

#1 Somewhere last year I guess?
ADDED:
- Heartstone (decreases Ashling ability cost MASSIVELY)
- Stuffy Doll (survives explosions and sends the damage to a player)
- Arcbond (you WANT more damage dealt to everyone)
- Chandra's Ignition (nuke everything with damage equal to my creature's power)
- Tenza, Godo's Maul (+3/+3 and Trample for Ashling. Is good.)
- Dictate of the Twin Gods (LET'S FLASH IN DOUBLE DAMAGE)
- Ring of Valkas (replaces Armory of Iroas)
- Chandra, Firecaller
- Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker

REMOVED:
- Anger (grants Haste, but must be blown up or discarded to do so)
- Mad Prophet (basic cycling of cards, creature must not be blown up)
- Iron Myr (mana, but can sadly be blown up)
- Act of Treason (since when do I _steal_ creatures? I blow 'em up! Otherwise: Word of Seizing)
- Spitting Earth (damage equal to mountains, but only targets creatures. Also, I have Tower of Calamities. Spawn of Thraxes could replace this.)
- Armory of Iroas (replaced)

=========================
Consider removing:
- Paragon of Fierce Defiance (gives Haste and +1/+1, but 3R is a little costly. Has no haste itself)
- Tower of Champions (I like it, but it's just too slow...8 mana for +6/+6)

Consider adding:
- Magmatic Insight (discard Mountain, draw two cards)
- Seer's Sundial (replaces Aggressive Mining)
