I'd been toying with the idea of trying to stack overrun effects when Saskia was released as a precon commander and she is an ideal facilitator. Saskia turns all my opponents into Stuffy Doll with respect to my combat damage. The deck takes its name from a South Park episode in which Cartman graphically murders all his stuffed animals.

Wild Beastmaster and Marton Stromgald don't get much credit on their own, but together or with other pump effects damage multiplies quickly. Cultivator of Blades is pretty much the perfect creature for this strategy, providing tokens or pump depending on what is needed. The goal is to overrun a single opponent with as little as four to six creatures, kill a second with Saskia using commander damage, and let her ability finish the third: all in a single turn.

Focusing on token generators and some combat manipulation, including extra attack phases, to compound creature based overrun effects, attack triggered abilities, and anthems.

Card draw might be a little light still, but is mostly creature based/oriented. I've also taken advantage of the low casting cost tutors available in these colors, especially at instant speed.

Mutation artifact/enchantment removal spells in place of Putrefy and Mortify are great. You almost always have a decent target and add three or four bodies/power to the board for two mana at instant speed. Tragic Arrogance is now my favorite sweeper, hitting the best half of your opponents non-land permanents.

This has become my secondary commander and I will try to use this card for a win whenever possible. There are creatures you can flip with Deceiver which lead to massive blowouts in conjunction with a few tokens. Additional top deck manipulation like Sensei's Divining Top lets me abuse this multiple turns in a row.

Reveal the following creatures with Deceiver of Form for fun and profit:

Elder Gargaroth

Fiendish Duo

Calculating Lich (deprecated)

Silverwing Squadron

Banshee of the Dread Choir (deprecated)

Leonin Warleader

Combat Celebrant

Grave Titan

Nacatl War-Pride

Brutal Hordechief

Angrath's Marauders

Angel of Invention

Hero of Bladehold

Wild Beastmaster

Hellrider (deprecated)

Cultivator of Blades

Pathbreaker Ibex

If you already have bodies on the ground Congregation at Dawn can stack Deceiver of Form, Combat Celebrant, and Pathbreaker Ibex for extra attack phases into an exponentially high damage output. Make every creature a copy of Celebrant, place it on the bottom of library, attack and exert three of them, flip Ibex for further attacks. I have slow rolled this by attacking each opponent in succession and each Ibex broke 16000 power on the third attack.

It's unfortunate that my commander's ability is difficult to use with Deceiver, but it challenges me to maintain a build that wins with either of them.

There are more creatures that work with Deceiver than I can include; the deprecated options were tried and have less synergy with the deck.

Some games the deck is so explosive I'm stunned (along with my opponents). Turn six or seven often involves a lot of math. The first pair of lands to look for are Sacred Foundry and Overgrown Tomb: they let you mana fix for most of the gold cards in the deck. When stacking attack triggers you want token generation to resolve first, followed by Marton Stromgald, followed by any other buffs.
