I have had it in here. Having a colorless land in 5c deck is hard to swallow in the early game.
After I upgrade the Mana base it'll be reconsidered.

Also Sarkhan the Masterless for the plot twist of winning with combat damage from planeswalkers.

I feel like you need two cards to get this a higher tier
Faith's Reward or Second Sunrise and Druids' Repository
Druid's is situational but you should consider it since najeela will win early game with it out and Faith's Reward is a very nice combo piece.
Sack all your walkers with their minus abilities and then ult with Aminatou, the Fateshifter then cast it to get back your board plus another persons while another guy gets nothing. Cast the reward and you have your old board.
Also, playing superfriends is political suicide. Get them back when you inevitably draw hate

I've identified your problem. You run out of gas late game cause you don't have enough card draw. Even if a few of your planeswalkers have loyalty abilities that draw cards, I'd recommend a few instant or sorcery draw spells. There might be a few cards that draw you cards and also synergize with super friends, but generically I find Recurring Insight keeps my hand full. Tymna the Weaver also goes well with your plan B(eatsticks)

Serra the Benevolent has a crazy good ultimate with Najeela and the +2 helps win games
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain tutors for planeswalkers.
Sarkhan the Masterless has won me a couple games. That +1 is devastating.
I personally have been considering Ugin, the Ineffable . You don't miss a whole lot with the removal. It makes your artifacts and other Ugin cost 2 less. And the +1 creates a 2/2 that adds a card to your hand if it dies
I also run Kaya, Bane of the Dead as an answer to hexproof, and indestructibles.
These suggestions are a little all over, but something to consider

shadowmage Aether snap keeps me up at night.
Also that's a really good cedh najeela deck you have, I'll have to look into that if I ever make a second najeela deck lol.

Wouldn't Sisay, Weatherlight Captain be a better commander when considering the amount of legendaries you have in the deck?
July 13, 2019 8:12 p.m.
MrGuizee666najeela makes a good board presence early and makes your opponents want to board wipes which opens up the board to be safer for Planeswalkers. Captain Sisay really just lets me tutor for Planeswalkers usually at a later turn and makes her big.
Don't get me wrong I think she's good, but I think Najeela is just better at what I'm trying to do.

Why would you even have a 100 card modern deck, all centered around 1 card? I don't even see a sideboard with graveyard h8. My mono-black and red goblin deck would destroy you, 2-0. And for my final point, this has cards that are not legal in modern, who do you think would allow you too play that bulbous of a deck?

SpaceSpiff20: chill dude. this isn't a modern deck. its a commander deck. does it make sense now?

Sarkhan420X says... #16
SpaceSpiff20: also, its impossible to have a deck that is "mono black and red". mono means 1. mono decks are 1 color only.

Sarkhan420X I know it was a commander deck, i was just joking, hence all the idiotic phrases like : "mono black and red" "bulbous deck" "graveyard h8". I am sorry if you did not appreciate my sarcasm, i will work on it.
I just don't see why this deck doesn't run Paradox Engine... ;)

Evolution Sage? I use it in my +1/+1 counter deck and it is devastating, particularly with such cards as Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain might be a more on-theme commander, though likely not a stronger one. I have a real-life legendary-matters politics deck that she works swimmingly for.
January 11, 2020 9:53 p.m.
I considered Sisay when she got spoiled, because she is 100% a more on theme Superfriends commander. However, Najeela's ability to win games by herself & her ability to leave behind blockers if I need to protect a certain planeswalkers w/ no further mana investment into them is crazy good.

There may be times you can't power through but simply want to generate tokens.

Really good deck, totally beats my most competitive deck reliably, but I am amused to note it struggles vs my creature heavy mono green deck. Not sure what you could realistically do to deal with a deck like that without hurting the deck in general. I doubt you have to deal with a deck like that in your meta, so I think it's a non-issue. Maybe Attrition? You do have a great supply of creatures potentially, as long as you have one player you can hit, and you generally should have some B mana to use it. It seems more like a sideboard card though to be honest, but pro-active defense of your planeswalkers is a good strategy.
Note, there is no salt like the salt of being beaten by planeswalkers. Kudos for really making them a force here.

Have you tried out Karn's Bastion to proliferate loyalty counters? UW control and Superfriends was the first thing I thought of when I saw that card release.
