Hivemind, I am stuck. Recently saw the spoiled Najeela, the Blade-Blossom
and the floodgates opened to a world of possibilities!
I was thinking just going warrior super tribal and just make an ungodly amount of warrior tokens to rumble in. Splash in a few combo pieces for game wins and be done with it.
However, while digging through gatherer I realized throughout magic there has been a surprisingly large amount of Legendary Warriors and came to the idea, what if I did Legendary Warrior tribal, brought in a bunch of legendary matters pieces and just went ham with that. I am looking at things like Heroes' Podium and I would use Sisay to tutor out pieces of my toolbox depending on the field. After putting together most of the pieces I wound up with about 400 cards of janky mess and can't settle on a single plan of attack.
Any ideas or suggestions? Opinions? I don't foresee this being cEDH but I think I am gonna surprise some people and get to turn a lot of big things sideways.
I'm building a Najeela deck at the moment, but with only a minor focus on warriors.
The thing is that there is so much going on with this legend that you can take her a number of different ways.
I'm going for combo, because at the heart of it, I'm a combo player.
There are a ton of ways to use her and that I think is what is slipping me up, She has so much potential I'm just not sure which direction to travel with it. Good luck with the combo build! I'd recommend Presence of Gond + intruder alarm
I guess the "trap" with Legendary warriors, is your ability to deploy them. Casting one a turn will be easily dealt with, so you need a plan for being able to get multiple onto the table to really threaten. Otherwise you're missing out on the ability to create much more warriors with her ability.
