I really like this card, if you can ramp some fast red you get great removal early in the game. Play it with Vigor to make all your creatures bigger, but kill all your opponents.
@nagle, heya! didn't know wotc staff actually stopped by the comments on cards page. Keep up the good work. :)

if you have 2 Vigors on the field, then when she explodes, you replace and double the counters

Blow up the world Ashling... I once triggered its ability for 15 damage... i won with only 1 life point...and guess what, its a star multiplayer format, even my allies was blown away...

While I have never personally used Ashling due to not actually owning a copy, I did run an elemental deck for a time that used the cards with the resolution type effects. As a whole, they were enjoyable cards to play.
Based on that, and due to Boredom, I give Ashling a 4/5. I could see this type of effect printed on a level card as well, with interesting results.

I'd just play this in infinte mana. You play this t2, then get mana t3, t4 resolve it thrice to deal 3 damage and keep going past that. Unless you're opponent doomblades, you're in it to win it.

This gal wants infect. just make sure your opponent has more counters than you do, or else it will be a tie, which would be hilarious, but not exactly desirable.

first off, double Vigor doesn't work as you can only prevent damage once, also this card is a boss, regardless of what amount of damage you do, provided you're not in an EDH format where everyone plays field manipulation (such as my current meta) you can easily get away with blowing up the field quite a few times, but watch out, commander damage dealt by Ashling to you would still apply towards the 21 damage count, so use it mostly as a finisher or a final countdown.
