Najeela, the Blade-Bossom2R Legendary Creature — Human Warrior (Mythic)
Whenever a Warrior attacks, you may have its controller create a 1/1 white Warrior creature token that's tapped and attacking. WUBRG: Untap all attacking creatures. They gain trample, lifelink, and haste until end of turn. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase. Activate this ability only during combat.
3/2
The haste for creatures that are already attacking is strange. I guess the tokens wouldn't be able to attack in the extra phase otherwise?
Also, the token making ability sounds self-propagating, but I guess that creating the token already attacking bypasses the trigger.
Wait, how giving haste to your attacking creatures is going to be helpful? They are already attacking, which means they don't need haste... can someone explain?

The tokens created by the triggered ability would not be able to attack in the second combat phase unless they had haste.
okay come on, they couldn't have made her a knight? We are sorely lacking a knight tribal commander!! But alas, Najeela is pretty freaking awesome.
We have multiple tribal Knight legends at this point including one in Dominaria (Aryel, Knight of Windgrace). We've been lacking a good Warrior legend for years, and it's especially helpful that she covers both the RG Warrior tribal stuff from Morningtide as well as the BW Warrior tribal stuff from Khans block. This is the legend we both wanted and needed.
And the set has Warrior tribal, not Knight tribal.
Warrior tribal commander. I was expecting mardu, not 5 color
Really we needed it in GWRB, having Blue is mostly just gravy. About the only notable card it adds is Ezuri, Claw of Progress, who seems HILARIOUS with this legend.
Imagine the following line of play:
T2 Any Warrior. Bramblewood Paragon, maybe?
T3 Najeela
T4 Ezuri, swing with Najeela and Paragon make two tokens, get two experience counter
T5 Move to combat, put 2 counters on Najeela, swing with all five guys, make 5 tokens, get five experience counters, activate Najeela's ability.
Move to second combat, put 7 counters on Najeela, swing with all ten guys, make 10 tokens, get 10 more experience counters.

We have sub-par knight tribal commanders, no commander has all 3 colors (Abzan) to make for a solid commander. But other than that I do agree warrior tribal commander was a long time coming.

Aryel is sufficient for Knight tribal, and there are some wackier options out there if you want. I'm partial to Edgar as a Knight tribal legend myself, since he makes Knight tokens - you can use Haakon, Stromgald Scourge to loop Crib Swap/Nameless Inversion/Blades of Velis Vel to generate Knights that then pick up whatever Knight tribal bonuses you scrape together. There's also a decent amount of natural Vampire Knights in Shadows to trigger him.

Warrior tribal was RG in Morningtide, WB in Khans, ergo, five-color because why not?
Also, they might be going for a Tazri cycle.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Green is needed for ramp, hand manipulation (e.g., sylvan library), all the knights you named + Steel leaf champion, tutors like worldly tutor + eldmari's call.
Also Edgar makes vampire tokens not knight tokens.

That would have ben sweet if knight tribal is a sub-theme for this
But good news I say we finally have a Warrior tribal legend though.
I'm really looking forward to them introducing a 5 color or atleast Abzan knight commander thats as good as Edgar markov is to vampires.

You are all missing the important part.
Wizards just produced a decent red mythic! Even if it's a WUBRG legend, my mind is still blown.

Everything else tells me that cascading cataracts is going to go up in value. That's for sure.
Also, would she be considered a 5 color Commander?
That is how color identity works, yes. Since every color of mana symbol appears in her text her Commander color identity is "all five."

Every Knight Tribal card (of which there have been relatively few) has been either Black or White, so what's Green needed for? Just Knight of the Reliquary? Juniper Order Ranger and Knight of New Alara? Wilt-Leaf Liege?
