Deck overview

This deck is a four-color combat-centric aggro/midrange list commanded by Saskia the Unyielding. The primary strategy focuses on establishing early creature presence and ramping into Saskia on Turn 4. Once deployed, Saskia's combat damage redirection effectively doubles the damage dealt by your attacking creatures against a chosen opponent. The deck capitalizes on this mechanic by stacking high-impact combat lords, damage multipliers like Blade Historian and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, and extra combat engines like Aurelia, the Warleader. Card replenishment is sustained through combat triggers such as Toski, Bearer of Secrets and Ohran Frostfang, while defensive staples including Teferi's Protection and Heroic Intervention insulate the board from sweepers. By leveraging goad effects like Marisi, Breaker of the Coil alongside lethal overrun spells like Akroma's Will, the deck systematically eliminates opponents in rapid sequence.
