Introduction


Who doesn't like to watch the world burn? Saskia the Unyielding, that's who. She likes to watch all other kingdoms burn, while her's stays vibrant. This is a style of deck I have been wanting to build for a while, but wasn't inspired until M21 brought us Brash Taunter. I then realized that there is a critical mass of that type of effect.


Welcome to the Thunderdome!


The premise of this deck is to get at least one (1) creature on the board like Brash Taunter. The criteria the creature must have includes a line of text like: "Whenever [THIS] is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to target opponent" and indestructibility or regeneration. This alone will be enough to deter attacks, but throw an effect like Pariah on it and watch your opponents squirm.

C-C-C-Combo!


There are several combos built into the deck. The combos are usually three cards, as is the minimum number for my playgroup. The first one I discovered (way back when original Ravnica came out) was Coalhauler Swine + Pariah's Shield + Blessing of Leeches and then either take damage or deal damage to the swine and infinitely regenerate it as your opponents boil around you. The combo pieces can be broken up into three categories: Damage Bouncers, Protection, and Pariah. Additionally, you can turn any of your Damage Bouncers into Coalhauler Swine by adding Spiteful Shadows to it. So, a card like Mogg Maniac can kill all of your opponents with Spiteful Shadows, Indestructibility, and Pariah on it.
The deck includes two mass damage spells with Blasphemous Act and Star of Extinction. The mana base also includes several painlands to make it easier to take damage.
Stuffy Doll only works to kill one player.

The Road to Victory


The path to victory is not a straight line, and you must have other cards to support your travel.

To Sum it Up


This deck was in no way meant to be competitive. If anyone has any ideas for things I should include, feel free to make suggestions. Oh! and the maybe board were cards I ended up cutting from my initial pile.
Anyway, thanks for reading through my ramblings!

tl;dr: Play hard to kill cards that say "No,YOU!"
