Ashiok and Temur Battle Rage —Dec. 4, 2017
I think that Ashiok is good in a field where there is a lot of Durdly control decks UW Control and Midrange with no Interaction such as RG Ponza Amulet Titan, but in terms of high quality cards Liliana the Last Hope is just a better card. I still stand by in saying that while having access to Tasigur for the early delve threat to hold stubborn denial or fatal push is nice, the 5 power is more relevant in my opinion and the fact of how wide open the format is the 5 power is more advantageous then holding up an instant speed counter or removal on turn 2. Temur Battle Rage in testing has proven to be a real liability and the fact that your opponent can just remove the creature means I am not a fan of the card. It is great for stealing games one against Burn and Eldrazi Tron, thats about it. It is really bad in the mirror really bad against any form of Jeskai, Jund or Abzan.
