PROTOTYPE - - - Version 1.2

---

MOVE OVER, SASKIA; NAJEELA, THE BLADE BLOSSOM IS IN TOWN!!

---

A four-color variation on one of my pet deck-ideas: Warrior tribal.

Based on Ankle-Shanking Alpha ? (Warrior Tribal).

I have to use Ankle Shanker and Lovisa Coldeyes somewhere!!

If I were to make a Warrior tribal now I would use Grand Warlord Radha. Lots of Warrior synergy in in black from the Tarkir block, but there are just too many good green warriors and green is just too good in EDH.

---

I have no intentions of building this deck now since I made a non-Warrior-tribal Saskia deck (Ankle-Shanking ? (Warrior Tribal)) but Battlebond has just been announced and apparently there is more Warrior tribal synergy! That and a bunch of very playable Warrior creatures. Perhaps this idea isn't dead in the water anymore... plus, psionics flavor in MTG? EDIT: Najeela, the blade blossom has completely killed this deck.

mindblade render, rushblade commander, jungle wayfinder, soulblade renewer, soulblade corrupter, sickle dancer, thrasher brute,
