I am constantly fine tuning this deck, and it has given me great success thus far. The route I took for Saskia is running creatures that are very efficient on their own. The goal is to keep the CMC for the creatures down to keep the threats coming out every turn. Saskia only comes out to finish the game or make up for a lull in threats.

Most people don't initially understand the power of double damage effects with Saskia. Dropping Gisela or Insult/Injury will result in Saskia alone hitting the chosen player for 18 damage (Combat damage doubled, then trigger is doubled). This can be a huge swing out of nowhere to win you the game.

Game enders:

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Blightsteel Colossus / Xenagos, God of Revels

Aurelia, the Warleader

Insult / Injury

Tooth and Nail into Blightsteel Colossus + Xenagos, God of Revels can get you two kills when coupled with Saskia.

This deck works best in 2-3 player games.

Feedback is greatly appreciated! I compete in headhunter tournaments with this deck on a regular basis, so any suggestions are welcome!
