Any thoughts on Ashcloud Phoenix being well positioned at the moment?

It fairly well blanks a lot of removal options, and it can kill most of the problematic flying beasties.

I'm thinking that [card]Kolaghan's Command[/card], Minister of Pain, Silumgar Assassin, Pitiless Horde, Ultimate Price, and Duress offer interesting possibilities.

I'm torn between wanting to play a Red Devotion list with a possible splash for something or go with an R/B Aggro list.

Regardless, it seems like tokens are going to be a thing, so token hate is necessary.
