SaberTech on Naya tricks

Yeah, I was a bit confused about what you were asking for because spells like Guided Strike that are used to influence combat situations are what are typically called "combat tricks". I didn't clue in that you might have meant meant creatures with combat related triggered abilities until after I had already posted.

In naya colours, some creatures with notable combat related abilities include:

(3 or less mana) - Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Arabella, Abandoned Doll, Jacked Rabbit, Kellan, Daring Traveler, Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd, Syr Faren, the Hengehammer, Tilonalli's Summoner, Arni Metalbrow, Breeches, Eager Pillager, Combat Celebrant, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Laelia, the Blade Reforged, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist, Ogre Battlecaster, Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon.

(Over 3 mana) Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Odric, Master Tactician, Hero of Bladehold, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Kogla, the Titan Ape, Aurelia, the Warleader.

Honestly, there are a ton of useful options that I didn't list. It all depends on what sort of deck you want to build.

Cool deck! Gotta love Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon. I would suggest a few copies of Goblin Bombardment to use the many 1/1s that you create attacking. And the damage from Arabella, Abandoned Doll with the small tokens plus the Goblin Bombardment sacrificing several tokens can close the game scarily quickly. I have tried with it several times and love it every single one

You may want to consider some "mana dorks" for your commander in the way of easy-to-cast, different colored token creatures:

• Forbidden Friendship
• Ral's Reinforcements

Also, there are some interaction-related convoke spells which are probably worth subbing in over other non-convoke options:

• Conclave Tribunal
• Everything Comes to Dust
• Hour of Reckoning
• Ephemeral Shields
• Temporal Cleansing

Depending on the direction you want to take, there are some cards which support a swarm strategy:

• Nadir Kraken pairs nicely with your extra card draw, and generates rare blue creature tokens for blue-color convoke mana.
• The Locust God god is nice for continual token gen, and again synergizes with your extra card draw while providing uncommon blue creature tokens.
• Oketra's Monument is nice in decks with a lot of white creatures, like yours, and adds continuous white token generation.
• Seraph of the Masses becomes a huge body that can just delete opponents without flying/reach blockers.
• Sublime Archangel can let swarm decks keep up pressure on opponents, even while you ramp. Throw out a random 8/8 token once per turn or whatever, forcing your opponents to deal with it, and it itself can become huge with Flying.
• Moonshaker Cavalry is basically a white version of Craterhoof Behemoth. One turn swing for the win.
• Massive Raid is a single-target bomb which uses your army of weenies, but doesn't cost much mana.
• Arabella, Abandoned Doll is a great bomb once you have a big board of weenies. Build up like 30 tokens or whatever, swing with Arabella and the swarm, kill the table. Or at a minimum deal a bunch of damage and gain a bunch of life.
• Divine Visitation is a non-bo with Arabella, but the upside is definitely worth it. Upgrade the token army.
• Angelic Aberration is similar but provides one-time additional ETB triggers if you lean into that more.
• Molten Gatekeeper is literally a second Witty Roastmaster but with unearth upside.
• Impact Tremors?? If you're really going that route with other cards, why not?

And here are some misc cards to consider:

• Jeskai Ascendancy can straight up give you free spells. Tap creatures for a convoke non-creature spell, Jes Asc untaps them on cast.
• Kykar, Wind's Fury can let you go mana-positive with non creature spells, which you have a lot of. Also pairs nicely with Quintorius, Loremaster which is on your current list.
• Skullclamp is an obvious draw engine for a token deck.
• Unstoppable Plan gets the weenies (and all others) back online on your opponents' turns, freeing up for instant-convokes or just blockers.
• Narset, Enlightened Exile is a cool way to get extra value from non-creature cards that end up in your graveyard.
• Mentor of the Meek is nice for potentially repeatable card draw in this kind of deck.

Delney, Streetwise Lookout is pretty ridiculous with Hare Apparent. Arabella, Abandoned Doll is good too. However, Arabella gets enough value from other cards that I prefer playing about 15-20 apparents. So Arabella if you want mostly other cards, delney if you want most cards to be hare apparent.
