So this deck aims to punish the player who play control/combo. I choose Saskia the Unyielding because I think she has the best color combination for this purpose. I had a Ruric Thar, the Unbowed deck (play cards like Manabarbs, Price of Glory or Citadel of Pain) that does similar thing before and always wonder why can’t I play card like Mogis, God of Slaughter to make things more cruel or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight for damage amplifier. Saskia also has that unique ability to slap other opponent while you are hitting the other, it is very useful in a 5 players pentagram format that my playgroup like to play. Not to mention that she is also a hasty creature, she can be my finisher.
Thanks for the suggestion guys! Some of the cards that being suggested just out of my budget right now Moat. I am looking to build this deck to be creature-light. The Creatures that I include most of them have some burn/punish/hate effect on them. Cards like Havoc Festival and Kaervek the Merciless just to cruel for my playgroup..lol. Also, I want the deck to be a passive punishing machine (If you want to do something you have to take damage) rather than active (force them to take damage).
My concern for this deck maybe it needs a bit more defense Ghostly Prison-style because the hate that it brings. Playing for the first time might be fine but soon when my playgroup find how the deck work they will target me from the beginning of the game..lol. I bring a lot of board wipes to keep the threat down and also to clear the way for Saskia the Unyielding to finish my opponents.
My playgroup level is around 7-8, we try to stay away from 2 cards infinite combo and MLD.

1x Arbor Elf
1x Avacyn’s Pilgrim

I like some of the suggestion Naya Charm, Personal Sanctuary, Ankh of Mishra and Dingus Staff. I didn't include them on my list since I don't have them yet, but will try to get them when I go to my LGS this week.
My concern for this deck maybe it needs a bit more defense Ghostly Prison-style because the hate that it brings.
