Intro

This deck eventually spawned from my love of the Archangel Avacyn   Innistrad flavor deck I had created that had a strong Human tribal theme in it. That deck was obviously not competitive and mostly spun its wheels, but occasionally won with some cool combos. I realized I wanted to go all-in with Human tribal. So I retired the Avacyn deck, and here we are!

---

There are so many amazing humans, and there are a million different directions to go with it. I went by process of elimination to avoid using similar design space as my other decks, as I often do. It's a good strategy to build something you don't yet have in your arsenal! I eventually reached the conclusion that I didn't have a dedicated, beat-your-face-in aggro deck, so naturally Saskia the Unyielding came to mind as the most aggressive Human commander that gave me access to the most cards to play with.

Recently, I've given this deck a complete overhaul, so the rest of the description will come at a later date!
