Saskia's Relentless Assault

Introduction: Welcome to "Saskia's Relentless Assault," a fast and aggressive deck built around the formidable Saskia the Unyielding. This deck aims to strike hard and strike often, delivering punishing blows to your opponents with damage doublers and powerful combat tricks. With Saskia leading the charge, you'll create a relentless assault that your opponents will struggle to withstand.

Looking at Saskia the Unyielding, you can see damage doublers will do a lot of extra work. So, adding cards like Gratuitous Violence, Furnace of Rath, Dictate of the Twin Gods and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight makes a lot of sense. If Saskia alone connects with one of those cards out, she will do 6 damage then another 12 to the named player. Saskia never fights alone. This is a very fast aggro deck (albeit slower than the subsequently released Najeela, the Blade-Blossom). Almost 30 cards removed from the preconstructed Saskia deck, we went away from the token theme in favour of more beatdown. Heavy hitters enhanced by amazing combat tricks like Ready / Willing, Savage Beating and Titanic Ultimatum. I lived the old Shards of Alara standard format dream of that being the card under a hideaway land. Yeah, still devastating today :-). I want to use Master Warcraft with the Sunforger as well, which has a nice package in this deck. Happy Beatdown, gentle reader :-)

Damage Doublers: Saskia's ability to deal damage to multiple opponents makes damage doublers incredibly potent in this deck. Cards like Gratuitous Violence, Furnace of Rath, Dictate of the Twin Gods, and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight significantly amplify the damage dealt by Saskia and her chosen target. With these in play, Saskia's damage output becomes even more devastating, allowing you to quickly eliminate opponents.

Aggressive Beatdown: "Saskia's Relentless Assault" focuses on aggressive beatdown strategies to overpower your opponents. With a selection of heavy hitters like Balefire Dragon, Stonehoof Chieftain, and Thunderfoot Baloth, you can quickly establish a dominant position on the battlefield. These creatures are further enhanced by combat tricks like Ready / Willing, Savage Beating, and Titanic Ultimatum, which grant additional power, evasion, and surprise factor.

Utility and Support: To support the aggressive strategy, this deck includes various utility and support cards. Commander's Sphere and Sol Ring provide mana acceleration, while equipment like Lightning Greaves and Whip of Erebos offer protection and lifelink. Sunforger serves as a versatile tool to search for and cast powerful instant spells such as Master Warcraft and Boros Charm, allowing you to control combat situations and protect your creatures.

Mana Base: The mana base of "Saskia's Relentless Assault" is designed to provide the necessary colors and consistency for your deck. Dual lands like Arid Mesa and Blood Crypt allow you to access multiple colors, while lands such as Command Tower and Exotic Orchard provide additional fixing. Additionally, the inclusion of cycling lands like Canyon Slough and Scattered Groves offers flexibility and card draw potential.

Conclusion: "Saskia's Relentless Assault" embraces the aggressive nature of Saskia the Unyielding, delivering a powerful and fast-paced beatdown strategy. By combining damage doublers, combat tricks, and potent creatures, this deck aims to overwhelm opponents with devastating attacks and unstoppable force. With Saskia leading the charge, your opponents will feel the full weight of your relentless assault. Brace yourself for a thrilling and action-packed gameplay experience.
