Strategy
Saavik is a defensive flash creature that punishes aggression while rewarding you for building a creature-type-dense deck. Her damage scales with the diversity of creature types in your non-Borg army, making her both a blocker and a removal spell when you've assembled enough different creature types. The core gameplan is to build a wide board of varied creatures—humans, elves, angels, clerics, soldiers, whatever you can fit—then hold up Saavik as a combat trick that either kills an attacker or blocks favorably while dealing damage.
You'll win by assembling a creature-heavy board and grinding out damage over time while staying protected. The Flash ability is key: you can play her mid-combat or hold mana up to surprise an attacker. Think of her as a mini board wipe on a stick, scaling with your creature diversity rather than raw numbers. This encourages you to pack efficient, varied creatures instead of relying on one type, which makes deckbuilding fun and adaptable to what your playgroup throws at you.
