Ashling, the Limitless

Legendary Creature — Elemental Sorcerer · {2}{R} · Black/Green/Red/Blue/White commander

Elemental permanent spells you cast from your hand gain evoke {4} as you cast them. (If you cast a spell for its evoke cost, it's sacrificed when it enters.) Whenever you sacrifice a nontoken Elemental, create a token that's a copy of it. The token gains haste until end of turn. At the beginning of your next end step, sacrifice it unless you pay {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}.

What an Ashling, the Limitless deck wants

The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.

• 12× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 7× Refill your hand
