Forget Warrior tribal - I want to make saboteur tribal. Or extra combat tribal. The tokens are gravy, but the WUBRG ability is awesome.
Yeah this. Of course you can go warrior tribal. But having 5 colors means she has access to so many better creatures than warrior types to take advantage of extra combats.
Cool card! A keyword ability would've been nice, but overkill. She will get abilities another way. Which is fair.
Great card, but why is she human? With the new creature type of Azra, which are almost all warriors, it would have made more sense. I know it does not make that much of a difference, but still it seems strange.

This makes up for Saskia being a Soldier. Now, instead of a BRGW Warrior commander, we get a WUBRG Warrior commander! Of course, a BRGW Warrior legend would still be nice, but hey, having access to blue as well doesn't hurt.
Holy crap, I just went back and read her WUBRG ability! Not only does she untap attacking creatures and give them keywords, she lets you pump mana into repeat combat phases!?
And now we have two examples of "one and all" WUBRG legends. Here's hoping we get more OAA legends in the future. I'd like such legends for Merfolk, Goblins, and Elves, and I think Gerrard would make a great OAA legend for Weatherlight and Coalition-themed decks. Krenko could work well as a Goblin OAA.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
This makes up for Saskia being a Soldier. Now, instead of a BRGW Warrior commander, we get a WUBRG Warrior commander! Of course, a dedicated BRGW Warrior legend would still be nice, but hey, having access to blue as well doesn't hurt.
The best part it doesn't even have to be warrior tribal since the ability works with all creature types
Pumped up card they badly want to "guarantee" to see play.
----
Hard to see how this doesnt just auto-win in infinited combat phases the moment you attack with it.
Might produce a lot of very annoying games, probably get banned right away.
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.
My existence in this thread is apparently solely to point out that Sosuke, Son of Seshiro is a card that exists, too.
I love this, The blue is what really makes it, Grimgrim, the Aven and Ezuri are all things that work beautifully with the gal Surrak gives some oomph to it as well.
More janky ways:
Give your creatures vigilance, then use Song of Freyalise or Cryptolith Rite or Earthcraft to produce the WUBRG each turn with 5 attacking creatures. If you have gotten at least 5 warrior tokens off your attacks, then in theory these can be used to pay for the additional attacks, as even if they were to be killed they already produce another 5 warriors. The new ones are tapped, but as long as you can pay for the untap with your first lot of creatures, then you should be infinite. Doesn't matter if your opponents have tons of blockers, eventually infinite always finds a way to deal enough damage to creatures to get through for damage to opponents.

You could also just use Druids' Repository without the need for Vigilance.
This card really reminds me of Blossom Dance from the Xenoblade Chronicles Series... Born in a world of strife! Against the odds! We choose to FIGHT! Blossom Dance!
I really want to like this. This is the kind of 5-color commander design I want to see more of. Also I like that she's pushing a very specific type of deck if you pick her compared to other 5-color options.
Grand Warlord Radha along with some kind of filtering effect (like Orochi Leafcaller) is probably the most reliable combo. Just because all of the combo pieces (other than the commander) are green creatures (the easiest permanents to tutor for in Commander) and you can go off even on the turn when you cast Radha.

On average, Magic players are worse at new card evaluation than almost every other skill, except perhaps sideboarding.
I missed the obvious, Phyrexian Altar. You just need to get the initial warrior tokens, and you can just sacrifice the ones that get blocked to untap the rest. Her ability for the existing 1/1 warrior token to produce more 1/1 warrior tokens, means that Phyrexian Altar is super easy to go infinite.
Nacatl War-Pride is a warrior that loves extra combat phases. Warchief Giant could be good too, but you lose the tokens after each combat, so not as good as the Warpride. Helm of the Host for maximum Warrior and Combat value!
She doesn't feel that powerful, to be frank. The primary advantage is that she plays with the commander rules to allow someone to play any color combination in warriors they want. The downside is that without a tool to make it easier to use her ability, it means only people with the luck to own the lands necessary to run a five color commander deck are ever going to get to use it.
I wouldn't say this normally about a five color commander, but she is an aggro commander and that means tempoing out with a "come into play tapped" land is much worse for her than for something like the five color dragon from the tribal commanders or the four color commanders the year before.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Again it doesn't have to be warrior tribal focused due to the ability working on all creature types so I did I would do warrior tribal with a mix of what saskia's deck has
And from all he warriors mentioned your all a disgrace for not saying any of these
I think everyone will soon learn that her being a Warrior is going to be the least powerful part of the card... She’s a 5 color commander that has a multi-combat effect that also grants trample, lifelink, and haste. This is the Zoo deck that we’ve all been waiting for... not to mention, with cards like Ramos out there, we will be able to gun her ability more than once a turn.
More so, she doesn’t even need to be attacking for the effect to go off. You can simply drop her with 5 extra mana to spare and have your creatures go nuts.
Each of them cares about additional combats... Jedit makes another attacking creature token, Alesha returns a creature from your graveyard...attacking..., Stonebrow uses the granted Trample of the activated ability to give your whole team +2/+2 each combat, and Yasova can steal a creature each combat.
And if you're already building a deck to gain mana on combats to pay for the extra combats, it's likely you end up with surplus mana to spend on Alesha or Yasova's abilities!!!
I am sooooooooooo excited by this card!

Grimgrin is actually great here since he'll get a lot of fodder/get untapped by the extra-combats ability anyhow.

blue involved damage cards that are creatures I could find
(if any other blue aggro please do tell)
oh heres the best for last Mistform Wakecaster lets turn all the creatures into warriors
So does Mirror Entity

Anthousa, Setessan Hero targeted twice can make 6 lands 2/2 Warriors. If they have vigilance, and realistically evasion, then infinite.
Aven Wind Guide is another card which gives vigilance to all token creatures, which combined with Song of Freyalise or Cryptolith Rite or Earthcraft should be infinite, as long as you generated some token warriors off Najeela, the Blade-Blossom already. The flying is relevant for evasion as well.
On the subject of evasion Champion of Lambholt should do the job if you get to produce a few warrior tokens off Najeela, the Blade-Blossom.
