Hi everyone!

Here is my take on Saskia Suicide, a very fun deck. If you like to win the unnormal way and don't win like every other EDH game damaging your opponents, or even if you like jank decks, this is perfect for you.

This deck has some combos but isn't competitve and i wouldn't take it to a competitive table unless you just want to troll around.

I spent my last two weeks of searching cards and brewing this deck

Goals and Gameplan: You want your life as low as possible, even 0 or less.How do we reach that?

Target YOURSELF with Saskia, which means whenever she deals damage to a player, she deals that much damage to you. Other options are cards like Wall of Blood and Phyrexian Processor.

Why would you do such things:As i said already, this is a troll/fun deck for my new edh playgroup (we started with anthology, iam playing Magic and EDH since Return to Ravnica), they won't expect me to target myself with Saskia.

Payoffs: there aren't many payoffs for a suicide type of deck, but i found them for you ;)Repay in Kind sets all lifetotals equal to the lowest - so yours which often is 0 or negative so they will die.Reverse the Sands allows you to change the lifetotals of all players, so you can kill somebody and afterwards have the highest life total Soul Conduit and Axis of Mortality pretty much do the same, theyallows you to trade your negative life totals away (seems like a worse zedruu deck ;P)Near-Death Experience says you win the game if your life total is 1

To get there we need some cards that prevent us from dying:Abyssal Persecutor + Harmless Offering , Exquisite Archangel, Platinum Angel, Angel's Grace, Sundial of the Infinite helps if an opponent tries to kill you/destroy your permanents at your turn and also prevents you from loosing to Final Fortune which becomse a Time Walk then. Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity is a well known modern combo right now and it also works in commander, you go to 0 or negativ life and can't get poison counters bc of Solemnity.Transcendence is another sweet card that allows you to stay alife after you get below 20, but it also has another use which Iam going to talk about now!

Harmless Offering:Allows us to trade good stuff for us, bot bad stuff for them around :PTranscendence kills your opponents when they are above 20 life which is fairly common in casual commander games.Demonic Pact is our last donate target. Use all 3 modes and trade it away and wait until the opponent's next turn to have him choose the death mode :PAnother interaction is Demonic Pact + Sundial of the Infinite which allows you to choose the 4th mode and with the ability on the stack - end your turn. Since pact counts the 4th ability as used, you won't loose the game next time and pact is a useless enchantment.

Other sweet stuff:Heartless Hidetsugu + Phyresis if you are loosing the game you can just end the game in a draw since every player who is at 20 or above life will loose to infect damage. If you are the only one under 20 you will win, so that's another reason to suicide.

Stuffy Doll + Arcbound + anything that prevents you from loosing the game, just kills the whole table, players and creatures.

Ad Nauseam + again anything that prevents us from dying we can draw our whole deck, or as much as we want.Near-Death Experience + Wall of Blood lets you set your lifetotal to 1 whenever you want.

The rest of the deck is just some Commander auto-includes, ramp, recursion, carddraw and most important lifeloss.

I will keept it updated and look for more cards to add to the deck. I will also post how it does on Thursday (today is Monday ;) when i try it out at my playgroup.

If you like the deck and my write-up i would appreciate a +1 Upvote

Note: Canopy Vista replaces Temple Garden until i can find one.And Evolving Wilds replaces Arid Mesa
