Najeela: Infinite Combats and Swinging and stuff

The Idea

This deck is all about swinging, swing left, swing right, swing your arm at a friend (sorry Jerry). The deck runs a bunch of ways to get infinite combats, though, the deck could still probably kick butt without them, if you want the deck to be more casual and you want to get rid of the infinite turns, there are a lot of options for Warrior creatures, hell you could probably stuff some more removal if that fits your fancy.

The Plan

Play your creatures basically, but be conservative as well. Here's an example of what I mean by this: turn 5/6, bunch of mana open for either Najeela and a few warriors, or a few warriors and play a card that draws on damage being dealt; imo in this situation, I'd probably go with the card draw option, Najeela triggers on any warrior attacking, not just herself, if you can lay low while getting a few warriors out, do so, then let Najeela sit there while your other creatures summon forth the warrior master race. It'll be better to put somebody to 10 while drawing around 8 cards than to have Najeela get removed before your next turn. Really that's all there is to the plan, it's really about situations, if you have a mono blue control deck on the other end of the table than you should probably lay low until they're tapped out. If you're playing against an aggressive deck, out-aggro them (or just kill them with infinite combat steps, cuz, you know, we're the only one allowed to run aggro decks)

Why infinite combos?

The deck really doesn't explicitly try to get the W with an infinite combo, in fact most wins that I've had with this deck was just because I overwhelmed my opponents with powerful tokens. It's an option, and sometimes it's a necessary option. (I'm looking at you Muldrotha, and don't think I've forgotten you Purphoros & Krenko)

The Combos

Druids' Repository + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom/Aggravated Assault; swing with at least 5 creatures, get 5 counters on the Repository.

Sword of Feast and Famine/Bear Umbra + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom/Aggravated Assault; have the select creature deal damage/ attack, untap lands.

Cryptolith Rite/Song of Freyalise + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom/Aggravated Assault; have enough mana for a Najeela activation and 5 or more creatures; swing, get 5 tokens, then before damage, act Najeela, after this combat, swing whatever combination of cards so you have 5 creatures to tap for mana OR swing any combination so that five creatures are untapped, then after combat act Agg Assault.

In addition to all of the above combos, Waves of Aggression can be used in the graveyard, but is limited to the amount of lands you can draw to discard.

Thanks Peeps ;)

Updates Add

It's been awhile, but I'm revisiting this deck, and boy did I miss some inclusions! I've taken the liberty to try and experiment here as I've changed as a player since the last time I made an update or played the deck. So first off when going through this deck I wanted to see if I could lower the curve of the deck and save some of the more expensive options for more powerful effects, so cards like Adaptive Automaton were scrapped in favor of Changleing Outcast since the outcast was a much more cheap and safe option than just a 3 drop lord; I've also done the same for Samut, Voice of Dissent and replaced it for Madrush Cyclops for a slight change in cmc. I added Unsettled Mariner as an extra way of protection with low cmc and is technically a warrior, and I am currently experimenting with Command the Dreadhorde for mass recursion of warriors, Marisi, Breaker of the Coil for combat shenanigans, and Throes of Chaos for extra free stuff in the case I have nothing and need warriors immediately and have only lands in hand. On another note I replaced Fellwar Stone with Arcane Signet because it was an obvious replace.
