the difference between 3 and 2 is NOT huge. What are you going to have to remove in a control deck on turn 3? youre playing draw-go forever in many control decks anyways. the versatility is WELL worth the extra cost. a B1 removal spell is only good if it kills something. Doom Blade misses black creatures, UP misses multicolored. Heros DF gets ALL of them, AND PWs. its SO much better than those other spells, I cant even believe that this conversation is happening.

I think he should be running 3 domri, 2 xenagos and 2 garruk. they ALL play great together.
its a planeswalker, not a land. all I was illustrating is that it provides the same wincon as Drownyard. of course its going to have more shit it can do, its a PW.
are you speaking from all of your experience with Xenagos? turn 1, mystic turn 2 burning tree into Zur-taa, another mystic, turn 3 Xenagos +2 Stormbreath Dragon. WITH enough mana to still drop garruk and -3 him for a Ruric Thar. enjoy not casting things, after turn 3, Control...yeah buddy, he sucks in aggro.
ill make whatever comparisons I like. Ashiok is similar to Drownyard in that it fills the same wincon in the same deck, with a twist. you people need to be less sensitive. I didnt say it was a bad card. lol
if Aetherling resolves, you cant deal with it. protection means very little in a meta full of Celestial Flare, Devour Flesh, Away, and Agent of Fates.
^lol wut? lets be serious guys.
Garruk Mainboard. he would be sick in this deck with mostly creatures.
I wouldnt use either, and just up the number of Heros Downfall you run. its more versitile than any of those other ones.
NP. sorry for blowing up lol
tribute to hunger and Celestial Flare to deal with Hexproof/.indestructible.
more removal. youre control :)
you wont have any creatures to bring back, if you use yours right....Obzedat needs very specific things to kill him, and Aetherling should be untouchable if he resolves...
if I thought people shouldnt run PW, I would say "you shouldnt run PW." not I dont like Ashiok here. if you arent going to use it like drownyard, then whats the point? the -x? seems like it would be better in the sideboard than the mainboard at that point....
what a douchebag response to a genuine comment. of course there are answers to everything, but there are just a lot of answers to Ashiok right now. you clearly want him to be Drownyard, and hes not. not even close. didnt mean to get you all butthurt with honesty. and your lands are fine. you are a control deck you need to hit land drops.
I dont like Ashiok here. I think there is too much PW hate in the format to get him going. Dreadbore, Abrupt Decay, Hero's Downfall...theyre all going to be too relevant for Ashiok to be viable, I think.
-_-also better than think twice. Blue players can gdiaf.
its because you get to Scry first, then draw. it gets through your deck quickly.
Read the bones is good.
you said it yourself, pal. this is a new format, and you have NO idea what is going to be replacing Geist, Huntmaster, thragtusk, ect, ect. Blood Bairn is on this list because I can use it to kill you while you stare at that doom blade in your hand wishing it was a Heros Downfall.
