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}.

The Ashling, the Limitless deck plan

The roles the Forge fills for this commander, and how many cards of each.

• 12× A permanent whose value is in its enter-the-battlefield trigger — the payload a blink deck reuses
• 6× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
• 26× A body of the exact type the commander's trigger requires — the wrong type is worthless here regardless of quality
• 12× Creatures you are happy to sacrifice — a free sac outlet on the commander is worthless with nothing to feed it
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
