Hey guys! I decided to make an Ashling deck that was somewhat budget and quick. I am slowly swapping out more and more mountains for cards so bare with me. I decided to make this deck in order to speed up the EDH games at my LGS. Sometimes they just DRAG on and on and on. I mostly expect to sit down and talk and whatnot and play the land-go game until I feel the need to do something.
In my playgroup and LGS, I dont have many players that play blue decks or ones that play a lot of counterspells so thats usually not a problem. There are the people that play bant colors or stuff but in that case, I dont need to worry all that much.
Thanks for the suggestion though If it starts happening, I will consider those.
What, no Koth of the Hammer? I realize a list like this is quite tight so as to play more Mountains, so a lot of these cuts will be tricky, but Extraplanar Lens is absolutely a must as well.

Thanks for the replies guys! I definitely did look into a lot of those cards but somehow my LGS did not have some of those in stock. Koth is out of the question since I dont wanna drop 30 dollars on him for a casual EDH deck. Some of the other cards I will DEFINITELY look into.
I had a question on the number of lands. How many lands should I run to make sure I consistently get a land drop? I was thinking around 55ish at the least.
45 is probably a safe bet. My old Ashling deck ran just under 40 lands.
Don't sweat Koth either - I ran him in probably 50 games in my old ashling deck. He was very underwhelming in every game. According to some other Mono-red players, they agree also. If I were to run a planeswalker, I'd run Chandra Ablaze.
As far as some of those cards, trade, ebay, ask around. People are bound to have some on the cheap.
In summary, what I found was that effects that could hit everyone (even me) were usually better than a single disintegrate fired at one opponent.

I totally agree with this point. Fault line and earthquake and such are MUCH better than those disintegrate effects. I will write up a list of all the cards I need across my multiple EDH decks and take it around with me. A lot of the guys only bring T2 stuff but I can show some of the more veteran players at my LGS.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will run around 50 lands. Anything less and I will feel shaky. I may even run more :/
I will play the deck and test all the numbers bit by bit and see what I like. Thanks for all the help once again!
basilisk collar was always a fun equipment on ashling. i ran SoFaI, Magebane armor and shield of Kalda to prevent her from killing herself.

Alright guys! Thanks for all the input. I will go and trade for a bunch of these cards, well as best I can and then I will update my decklist. Thanks again!
Is Strata Scythe good enough to be in here? The big downside I see to it is that it doesn't give evasion... The big plus side is that it will make Ashling massive. =)

I considered it but we'll see. I dont want this to be a voltron deck. Just a fun deck that speeds up huge games.
I do have a flowstone so I will toss that in when I get the chance. I am actually looking to trade for a few EDH staple equipments but they are hard to come by Will definitely run Godo once that happens.
I guess you didnt catch it but the was me trying to poke fun at how i got the sword from andy Stuffy Doll might be cute with ashling. Sword of Kaldra could be awesome.
