Switch from 4 to 5 colors! —July 11, 2018

So I originally made this list with Saskia the Unyielding, since she has to be one of my favorite creatures of all time. However, there was one major detractor, in one of the biggest flavor fails of all time.... she somehow WASN'T A WARRIOR. Human Soldier?? With that art, and those abilities?? No way.

So, WOTC took pity on a poor soul, and gave me (arguably) a better option for my Warriors, to finally differentiate from my Humans list united-and-unyielding-human-tribal-updated-dom. Suggestions welcome now that we have all 5 colors to work with!

Creatures make up 1/3 of your deck, and you only have 8 of them at cmc 4 or higher. do you think Descendants' Path is worth the slot?

blackhawk22 would you add a signet, Cryptic Gateway, Phyrexian Arena, Austere Command or Staff of Nin as a replacement? Good call on that

Phyrexian Arena is by far my favorite out of those

Very nicely builded warrior tribal deck. I haven't realized that Saskia as an warrior got a really good potential here :-).good idea +1

FangorHelmsar, I was so mad when I realized Saskia the Unyielding wasn't a Warrior herself! She definitely ought to be. This should be fun, but I think my United and Unyielding Human Tribal may be more competitive. Time will have to tell!

No Lovisa Coldeyes?? Her and Saskia would be best friends...

Blitzak, thanks for the suggestion! I chose not to run her due to her high CMC and the fact that she herself isn't a Warrior haha

Lovisa Coldeyes literally buffs 26/33 creatures. and you have a few non warriors so that excuse doesn't fly when she helps that many. and 5 drop when red is one of your heavier colors seems a little lackluster with the ramp your deck can have

I would also suggest you give her a try. She makes almost all your creatures much better.

As for other suggestions, I have a Saskia deck as well. There are a few good tricks you might find interesting.

So you're just using Saskia for colors then, mostly, right?

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan is at least a warrior and then that would leave you with Red White and Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder is pretty dang decent as a 4 drop psudeo-Titan making beating down more... double-strikey. Then you have Obsidian Battle-Axe to give Warriors haste and you have enough legendary creatures to make Hero's Blade useful.

Dorotheus thanks for commenting! I chose Saskia the Unyielding for the commander of this list because of the fact I feel she has to be WOTC's biggest flavor-fail... She clearly ought to be a Warrior sub-type rather than a Soldier... but even with that huge fail, I think the Warrior list is more lethal than the United and Unyielding Human Tribal list or the My Liege | Saskia Voltron builds (though Humans has shown to be the most resilient)

Anyway! I actually think both her color and effect are ludicrously strong, that's why I kept her. I played around with Reyhan and Bruse, but I felt that required abuse of the +1/+1 counter mechanic, and once I fell down that little rabbit hole, I thought it would be better suited by not being a Tribal deck anymore...

As per your equipment ideas, I knew of and decided against Obsidian Battle-Axe, but you make an interesting point about Hero's Blade, I wasn't aware of that little gem!

Anywho, thanks for the feedback, feel free to +1, share and check out any other lists!
