A recent commander i started to brew late last year, it is all part of a gameplay experiment. Since i noticed a current drive in my local gameplay groups to crave on combos and control strategies, to tackle it with a opposite force. To reach such goal i focused on aggro and midrange builds and on cards that punish most combo pieces of all kinds. I ended up with a pile of cards of all colors, but with less abundance in blue. With that in mind i started looking for commander options that would allow both access to color and also to have and impact and relevance in the main goal of the strategy. Saskia the unyielding was chosen as the ideal commander for this feat; with a strong reliance on creatures it can be broken into two main branches: Combat based creatures, and stax or hatebear creatures. I also included a third branch wich is basically card disruption. In non creature spells i incluede mainly removal spells and a few combat tricks. I had the chance to test a few times already at the LGS and online version with friends and i must admit that even though it seems i might change it a little sooner or later it is a fair and stout build. Enjoy the decklist, as usual any comments and suggestions are welcomed
