This is a deck I built in response to a challenge I originally laid down. It is not cEDH, but I would not be ashamed to play it at most tables. It has a couple of combos, but only the ones I can defensibly add while sticking to my theme. If you are looking for a fun, mostly fair deck, give it a whirl. If you are looking for competitive Najeela decks, move along.

The Theme

One night at the card shop, we all dropped our commanders and one of the ladies playing noted that all of our commanders were women. I responded with something along the lines of "That isn't hard, if you want a challenge, build the whole deck that way." A month or so later, Battlebond dropped. When I saw Najeela, I couldn't resist taking up the gauntlet I had thrown down.

I also tried to make sure most of the non-creatures depicted a female character prominently.

**Note: Loyal Unicorn was added later, and is questionable, but I felt like it was reasonable. I may change my mind if I come up with another worthy warrior to add.

Game play

While it might be nice to have a few more 1-drop warriors, I mostly find that a single 2-drop is enough to get the ball rolling. After that, the strategy is to find an opponent that will let me hit them for a few points, with or without their cooperation. If multiple players are open, great, otherwise I just attack the open player to make more warriors until I can overwhelm the remaining players.

This continues until either I achieve WUBRG, I hit a spoiler card, the game ends, or I am thoroughly disrupted.

Secure the Wastes and Reforge the Soul can both put you back in a game after being shut down several times. Though you generally have several bites athe the apple, since most attempts require only 1-2 cards from hand and your general.

Comments welcome - suggestions need to be on-theme, or they will be ignored (I know there are more combos with Najeela if I compromise more - I don't care. I play this as my mostly fair deck anyway. I have a First Sliver Food Chain deck if I want to do something degenerate.)
