Saskia the Unyielding | Combat Hijinxes - The Brewery [S03E10]

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to The Commander Tavern! I am Demented Kirby and this is the 10th episode of the 3rd season of one of the series on this channel, The Brewery. This series is all about brewing and deck techs - hopefully showcasing the spiciest of brews!
This episode of The Brewery is my take on Saskia the Unyielding. This deck aims to win the game by making the entire table be immersed in combat. All the while we're protecting our boardstate as well as dishing out some epic damage of our own. If you want to see the complete decklist for this deck, you can find it at this link: tappedout.net/m...
Special thanks to Georg1os for the awesome thumbnail!
As always, thanks to all you viewers for your interest! In fact, this video was voted on by viewers through last week! Comment down below how else would you build Saskia. You can also tweet me @CommanderTavern or join my Discord server - all are welcome in The Commander Tavern!

Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs would be a great aggressive pillowfort card for this deck. Another card I think is worth considering is Trove of Temptation. I use it in my Thantis deck and it's great at ensuring that opponents can't pick soft targets to swing into

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Ooh! Those are great suggestions! Yeah, Kazuul could very easily replace Koskun Falls in the deck.

IM HERE!!!! LET US STAN LOUDLY NOW!!!!!

[@stevenguitink5947]

Do cards that grant Saskia infect also affect her damage effect?

[@Cyberium]

Steven Guitink Yes

[@Ascendedninja6]

It deals any damage in the form of infect counters to players and -1/-1 counters to creatures

[@gorogpatrik]

Lair lands are a meme. A bad meme at that.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Lairs enter the battlefield untapped and provide 1 of three colors with no downside to life or anything else. They also bounce a land (which can be tapped, unlike karoo lands do) that are great for landfall mechanics as well as being able to reuse any lands that have an enter-the-battlefield trigger. Lairs are incredibly underrated - and "bad memes" apparently. This one mega cycle that WotC needs to hurry up and complete.

@@TheCommanderTavern I think the deck described in this video is super low tier. Would not recommend following this.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

@@MrTime2Spare Not all decks have to be cEDH or top tier; casual decks exist.

[@andresaggelu4043]

I like your idea but this is no good. The averege cmc is way too high. All those expensive gards will not work if you dont have a full attacking board by turn 5 ready to kill a player.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Well, the deck is aiming to get a lot of things out from the graveyard, i.e.: cheating costs. It might not win against a super fast deck, but this isn't a competitive deck, either. So it's not for turn4 instakill metas.

[@andresaggelu4043]

@@TheCommanderTavern i worry about removal from turn 4+ or very taxing effects even in more casual formats More 3-5 drop aggresion with like an attack trigger will improve this a lot

[@TheCommanderTavern]

@@andresaggelu4043 True, stax will definitely set this deck back. Taking advantage of some of those points might do it some good.

[@J.Arnold]

This is meant to be a Battlecruiser deck (power level 4ish). You wouldn't take this into a pod with people looking to win on turn 5. This is a casual, non-combo, combat-based fun deck with lots of cool synergies.
