Help with Ashling, The Extinguisher?
Commander Deck Help forum

I really like this card, and want to make them into a commander. What kind of cards do you think would go good with this guy? I was thinking lots of stuff that gives unblockable, but what about creatures?

*gal.
Glaring Spotlight and Arcane Lighthouse so you can target through hexproof. Grave Betrayal, Sepulchral Primordial, Necrotic Ooze, Sangromancer, Geth, Lord of the Vault, Rise of the Dark Realms, and Chainer, Dementia Master are just a few of many, many cards that can take advantage of all the things you're sending to the graveyard. Silent Arbiter seems good, once you've dumped some equipment on Ashling, to stop people from blocking her effectively. Also helps stop you from getting overwhelmed if/when you become a target.
Must haves for a mono-colored deck: Spine of Ish Sah and Scour from Existence to deal with Iona, Shield of Emeria.

Also worth noting that you definitely can't use blue mana in a deck with Ashling, the Extinguisher as the commander.

Prowler's Helm, Rogue's Passage, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Sewers of Estark, Whispersilk Cloak, these are all good cards you might want with that General.

Seems like you want a mono black Tron deck. Get equipments and enchantments (something like Phyresis, Glistening Oil, Dark Favor, Lashwrithe, and similar cards can get you nice commander damage, I'd look into Dimir cards as they often incentivise getting damage through. This guy would love blue mana with numerous saboteur cards. You could also just go heavy control or do black good stuff. Honestly a mix of the three seems best.
