How it grades
Fundamentals 78/100. Plays like Tokens.
This reads as Tokens, built around Saskia the Unyielding. Go wide: flood the board with cheap bodies, multiply them, then convert width into damage or value with anthems, drain triggers, and sacrifice payoffs. Board wipes are the great enemy, so rebuild speed and token-doublers that refill fast matter more than any single big creature. Its strongest fundamental is mana curve (38% of spells cost ≤2, 13% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 6 draw effects (want 10+ for Tokens).

Where it falls short
- B+Land count36 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Tokens.
- C+Card draw6 draw effects (want 10+ for Tokens).
- B+Commander synergyOnly 32 of 63 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want extra combats, infect, burn support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Extra Combats, Tokens, Infect; from EDHREC).
- B+Card qualityMedian EDHREC rank #4,853
Strong on mana reliability, mana curve, ramp, interaction, win conditions and legality & size.
95 cards graded: A- 3, B+ 32, B 45, B- 9, C+ 6. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
