Commander / EDH Aggro Budget Combo Primer Warrior

Hello, i like combo decks. I also like to make nuanced budget decks.

For the guy who just wants to proxy a cool commander and bash your opponents' faces in with unlimited 1/1's!

The plan:

T1- Mana dork, ramp(or a 1 cost warrior)

T2- Play double or triple warrior(or Najeela)

T3- Play Najeela, start acquiring 1/1's

T4- Mana fix for Black

T5- Mana fix for U/W

T6- Save warriors in hand for wipes, draw cards, do extra attack steps.

The combo:

Najeela can go infinite however most cards that let her do that are kinda expensive and since I don't wanna be proxying an entire deck i only kept in the budget options.

Druids' Repository + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom it's that simple, it let's you go infinite attack steps. Breath of Fury + Najeela, the Blade-Blossom is also infinite combat steps.

Song of Freyalise is in there to fix Mana and to resolve Najeela's ability. Sadly, this requires 5 attacking warriors(including najeela) and however many generic mana you don't have to go infinite in warriors. So if you had G-B-R open, you'd need 7 warriors: Attack with 5, resolve ability, attack with 5 - use newly created warriors to tap, resolve ability - etc.

The tech:

Sosuke, Son of Seshiro: Big dumb dumbs kill our warriors and stop us from making tokens, this guy stops big dumb dumbs

Nadier's Nightblade: If you had 2 token rounds prior to this card entering the battlefield it acquires the text: Playing a boardwipe will make the caster of said boardwipe lose the game (unless other deals are in place)

The fixing:

The deck features 2 types of Mana fixing 1) The black splash

The deck is splashing black for 2 reasons, tutor and card draw being reason 1 and prime removal reason 2.

[Spoiler title=the 16 black sources] Abundant Growth, Fertile Ground, Rampant Growth, Harvest Season, Path of Ancestry, Temple of Malice, Temple of Malady, Llanowar Wastes, Exotic Orchard, Command Tower, Ash Barrens, Elves of Deep Shadow, Song of Freyalise, Civic Wayfinder, Edge of Autumn, Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone[/spoiler]

The deck does not need black until turn 3-4 however only having 16 black sources seems to be on the low side so I'm open to ideas for any further fixing (Cultivate and Evolving Wilds seem rather bad unless I want to go up to 5 different color basics) Which brings me to the 2nd fixing issue

2) Najeela's ability. Since we're a gruul deck a 5 color ability isn't too easy to trigger. We run a lot of enchantments and a couple 5-color lands to trigger her. We also run Song of Freyalise, but this is the biggest paradox of the deck: Run taplands and do nothing till turn 6 or run no-tap lands and risk not having Najeela's ability by turn 5-6 and fizzle out. Any input on this issue would be very much welcome.

The removal:

Being an Aggro deck, the deck wants to focus on fulfilling it's own plan rather than interact using instants; however! The deck will get completely shut down by anti-attack enchantments which is why we run Viridian Zealot, Reclamation Sage, Hull Breach and Golgari Charm.

Abrade is to counter a turn 1 sol ring, it also flexes into making double blocks a 2 for 1 trade.

Vendetta and Red Elemental Blast are just prime removal.

Suggestions to the removal package are very welcome.
