Looking for second opinions on my first self-built paper commander deck.

Blade Blossoming is a casual warrior tribal deck intended to hit fast and hard with both Najeela’s tokens and other powerful warriors. While infinite combat is built into the deck, I would prefer not to focus too heavily on it, as both my playgroup and I generally dislike going infinite. This is the first paper commander deck I’ve built, and I’d like to make sure it’s as good as it can be within it’s price range before I spend my money on it.

Main Combos:

Faeburrow Elder + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom Swinging with Faeburrow, then tapping him into Najeela for another combat, which untaps him, then repeating.

Druids' Repository + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom Swinging with at least five creatures gives enough mana to activate Najeela for another combat.

Amulet of Vigor + Cryptolith Rite + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom Najeela’s warrior tokens enter untapped, which gives a sort of pseudo-vigilance. They can then be tapped for mana with Cryptolith Rite, as long as they have haste, either from a previous Najeela activation or Ogre Battledriver. That mana is then put back into Najeela’s ability to untap them and give another combat step. They can then attack again, creating new tokens to tap. Aven Wind Guide adds to this by granting flying evasion, as well as vigilance to the tokens, which allows them to attack and tap for mana once again alongside the new tokens.

I’d like to keep the price of it all under $200, excluding the cards I already own: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist Marisi, Breaker of the Coil Species Specialist Jegantha, the Wellspring Beast Within Citywide Bust Fierce Guardianship Painful Truths Deadly Rollick Mythos of Brokkos Eerie Ultimatum Skullclamp Arcane Signet Heirloom Blade Herald’s Horn Shared Animosity Annointed Procession Canopy Vista Cinder Glade Command Tower Evolving Wilds Exotic Orchard Jungle Shrine Ketria Triome Path of Ancestry Prairie Stream Raugrin Triome Smoldering Marsh Temple of the False God Terramorphic Expanse Unclaimed Territory

Again, any feedback I could get would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!
