This card would be beneficial in a deck focused on aggressive strategies that can quickly accumulate +1/+1 counters on Ashling the Pilgrim to trigger its powerful board wipe ability. However, in competitive play, there are more efficient options like \textit{Walking Ballista} or \textit{Hangarback Walker} that offer similar effects without the drawback of removing the creature from the battlefield. Ashling the Pilgrim may not see much play in highly optimized decks, but could still be a fun and flavorful choice for casual or themed decks.

Rules

10/01/07

When the ability resolves, it counts the number of times that same ability from that this creature has already resolved that turn. It doesn’t matter who controlled the creature or the previous abilities when they resolved. A copy of this ability (created by Rings of Brighthearth, for example) will count toward the total. Abilities from other creatures with the same name don’t count towards the total. Neither does an ability that’s been countered.

10/01/07

“That much damage” refers to the number of +1/+1 counters removed from Ashling the Pilgrim. Since the counters are removed, it’s likely that the damage will kill Ashling.
