Major update on the way —March 7, 2018

A billion thanks for all the awesome input I've received over time. I've just made a HUGE purchase (huge by my stadards :P ) and it includes a good deal of the cards in my maybebóard, as well as some of the cards that were just commented, but never "technically" suggested. I've bought way more cards than I think I can actually mash in here without removing a lot of cards that I love and that are considered "core" to the deck. but, we'll see what happens :D

I have no experience with commander >.< so can't help you there. Looks good though

Dredgar, thanks for the upvote and the praise! I'm glad you like the look of things :) That bodes somewhat well ;) you are quite the deckbuilder, need I remind you ;)?

Thank you!:) Though I think I may have 10% the decks you do. A very strong maybe. Lol

Quality over quantity, my dear Dredgar ;)

Dude, seriously: i know she can't lead the deck, but Lovisa Coldeyes really wants to join saskia.

Besides this: very cool!

seshiro_of_the_orochi thanks for the praise and the +1! Oh, believe you me, she's going in there! I just haven't had the money to buy new cards for a while :p

Upvoted! But... you should trade Hamletback Goliath for Unstoppable Ash. Goliath is a huge target for removal and only grows without affecting the board much. Ash, on the other hand, is a 4 drop 5/5 trampler that only requires a warrior(token maybe?) to be "sacced" and it boosts your defense when blocking.

June 23, 2017 5:36 a.m.

Kintoki, thabks for the love! And, holy shit! That card is amazing! I really like my goliath though... I'll have to find some way to squeeze in ash. Thanks again!

Love what you say about Saskia being a warrior. What were they thinking (maybe they were drunk while developing)? Anyways, you said you wanted to hit often and fast. Seems like a perfect fit for a card like Aggravated Assault :) And while we're on enchantments, would True Conviction be out of the question? Its CMC is one higher than Berserkers' Onslaught, but I think te life gain is worth it. Ow, and your creatures will also have double strike when defending.

June 29, 2017 3:11 a.m.

NV_1980, dude, yes! Someone who agrees! Thank you! Would one little errata be too much to ask for!

I had not considered assault, hmm, could do very very well :)

Conviction is amazing! I have it in my skeleton tribal deck, and I'm always thrilled to draw it. The only problem here is the requirement of , which ain't easy to achive in a 4C deck. But I'll definitely consider it. So damn good!

Thank you so much, and stay frosty!

I hear what you're saying about the three white mana. Maybe Chromatic Lantern or Prismatic Omen could help in getting enough of each mana colour (though these cards are a bit pricey). Maybe you could add Radha, Heir to Keld as well; might be nice for some extra mana to be used during/after your attack.

June 29, 2017 4:32 a.m.

NV_1980, those certainly would fit snugly, but what to cut, hmm? I'm aleady at a point where replacing anything is a herculean struggle ;)

adding Radha would certainly be cool, I really like having other legendary warriors - especially multicoloured ones - pledging themselves to Sakia's cause. The two I have a re currently tied up in other decks, but I'll definitelyconsider it :) tanks man, and stayfrosty!

NV_1980 says... #13

Damn you're right, I also find it extremely hard to cut something from your selection. For Chromatic Lantern and/or Prismatic Omen I'd cut out the banners (though for some reason that just feels a bit wrong, warriors without large banners ...). I would let Radha, after long long long consideration, replace Disowned Ancestor.

June 30, 2017 1:30 a.m.

Oh I hear you on the banners! They need to stay! Hmm, normally, I'd never trade upwards on the mana-curve, but I think you have a point. Radha could definitely do a lot of work, were the ancestor is just a potentially powerful onedrop. Thank you so much for all your thoughts! I'd love to get more insights from you on my other decks :) not all of them, of course. That'd be a bit much :p

NV_1980 says... #15

I'll see what I can do; you're more than welcome to do the same :)

June 30, 2017 1:57 a.m.

Hi! Since you're battle plan is to slam, bam, and jam, how about a Predatory Focus? Slip all that jazz right through and double up. Damn, I love Saskia. She is out of control.

Insult / Injury is a Fog-proof multiplier that ends games.

The undersung Goblin War Drums will get your stuff through more often than not.

Until your next brew...+1 and done. <-- I'm pretending that's my tagline right now. There is beer invovled.

Sorry if you've heard this before but Coat of Arms, man!! It would make all of your creatures gigantic!

Also War Cadence can just be an instant win on an alpha.

Not sure if you have considered Invasion Plans, but my personal favorite super secret tech for Saskia decks and agro commanders is Angel's Trumpet. Gives everyone vigilance, makes everyone attack, and if they don't attack they leave themselves open.

December 6, 2017 2:30 p.m.

VesuvanDoppelbanger, hey man! Thanks for the praise and the awesome advice! And sorry for not responding - been off the grid due to school. Insult to Injury is flippen bananas! I need it! The other siuggestions as well. Thanks mate, I definitely need to keep tweaking this deck. Stay frosty

December 7, 2017 11:39 p.m.

ZendikariWol, thanks for the suggestion, my man. I have no idea why I've never thought of the coat before - I even own one! I guess it's just become synnonymous with my goblin-deck - well, one of many :P I most definitely need to get one in here too.

I've never even heard of war cadance! That is bonkers! Makes perfect sense that there would be an offensive version of Propaganda and the like. That is definitely one to consider.

Thanks for you great advice, and stay frosty!

December 7, 2017 11:43 p.m.

imoutogetyou, thanks for the great suggestions, dude! I actually have considered invasion plans, still am. It'd definitely be a solid addition. If I ever get my hands on one, there'll be serious considerations to be had. angel's trumpet seems lit! I need me one of those too. Thanks again, may you have a great day, and stay frosty!

Warchief Giant is pretty great too. Send one of the token copies at the chosen enemy (for Saskia). He has to block or take 10 damage, and 5/3 is some killing power.

Neheb, the Eternal and Aggravated Assault is also a terrifying combo.

Also some good aggressive planeswalkers include Arlinn Kord  Flip (good budget), maybe Domri Rade, Nahiri, the Harbinger, Samut, the Tested, Sarkhan Vol, and seriously consider Sorin, Solemn Visitor. His lifelink ability could be simply insane, and he's real cheap for a walker.

Keeping those fresh ideas coming.

December 8, 2017 12:17 a.m.

ZendikariWol thanks again, mate :D! Nice! I had completely forgotten the warchief giant. I definitely need to consider it. What to take out, though, hmm?

Oh, you can bet your sweet, awesome advice giving, ass that Neheb is on my wishlist - he is so badass! Infact: I'm wanting three of him. one for this deck, one for my minotaurs, and one for my afflict deck - actually - also one for my rakdos...

all those walkers would be bombs! I'm especially fond of Domri and Sorin. Well, if a handfull of cash falls into my lab, they are most definitely to be considered ;)

Stay frosty , my man, and thanks again for all your suggestions.
