Cards go here

Crag Puca is in the Arcana video:

Crag Puca {ru}{ru}{ru}
Creature - Shapeshifter (U)
{ru}:Switch Crag Puca's power and toughness until end of turn.
2/4

Also,

Clout of the Dominus {ru}
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant Creature
As long as enchanted creature is blue, it gets +1/+1 and has shroud.
As long as enchanted creature is red, it gets +1/+1 and has haste.

Were the cards from the youtube video known? The aura and the Puca?

For those who wanted Dwarves back, I guess this is good news.

[Guilan]

I wonder what Gwyllion Hedge Mage would look like.

Duergar Hedge MageSeems decent, great sideboard material, I think.

[Colorous_Pius]

I love the BG avatar! 2 -1/-1 counters in this format can be a good thing

[Nau]

Ashling seems really good, it gives mono black an answer to prot. black creatures, on a 4 mana 4/4 body. At the very least it will force the opponent to hold the protection creature back long enough for you to make your Corrupt plans Bitterblossom.....

Ashling is nice and deckable. I might get this and run over her red version in my legend deck. I hope Sapling is as good seeing its a given she is the other legend of this set.

Edit: As for the green/black avitar I so like that. The art owns and the powers is not that bad. This be a cool trick in my Green/Black deck for sure.

1. Love Ashling's art. LOVE.
2. I love B/G big creatures. LOVE.

[Brunix]

Ashlings not too bad kinda better than the first one

[Life Weaver]

And I am only half-way disappointed because I was hoping i could use her for RDW. The Spirit Avatar is Gold to me, a 7cc 7/7 Trampler is not to shabby at all.

So your going to block my Deity of Scars??? I regenerate it, since it would go down. Oh again with the same creatures well hate to say it to you but my Deity of Scars wins and survives and your Gargadon dies, because I remove another -1/-1 counter from him to make him a 7/7 with a regen-shield up.

Ashling on the other hand, oddly enough, inspires me to make a Mono-Black deck

[newlyearthbound]

a 5/5 trampler that regens and in the process becomes bigger! what could be better?!? mono green beats might make a showing between this and deus! either of those turn 3-4 is serious pressure!

[Fats McRobot]

Damn, I was hoping Ashling's purple glow would mean she was UR. But, black is pretty much UR, and I like her.

Screw Deity of Scars. Its not the one I want to see.

[Jaelan]

Both creatures are aggressively costed. A 5/5 for 5 that grows, and a 4/4 for 4 that .. waitaminute... DOES Ashling get around pro-black? It still says "target" creature. Either way, she's still good (reminds me of Braids for some reason).

[Kilz88]

What is this about: This means that for you are able to turn the creature into a 9/9 whenever you wish. Am I missing something?

[Bitsy]

I can't see any cards besides the Dwarf. I liked Ashling's art alot though. Grrr!!

[Seth Dracovitch]

Holy... damn it... christmas.

I have waited for a long time to see if Ashling the Extinguisher would be made a card and I am very, very, ver pleased. The art? Best in the set so far in my opinion. Her ability? Holy hot damn let's put Whispersilk on her... or give her fear. I'm actually quite surprised she doesn't have Wither, but that's ok.

Deity of Scars is pretty good but I can't get over Ashling...
