Najeela, the Blade-Blossom
The activation reads like a Timmy fantasy (untap everything, swing again, keep going), but the machine underneath is more disciplined than the rainbow cost suggests. Each extra combat refills the board through the attack trigger, so the engine is self-feeding: every Warrior that swings spawns another tapped, attacking Warrior, and those tokens are themselves Warriors that trigger on the next combat. Even a stalled board eventually produces enough bodies to break through. What made this Human Warrior infamous is the seam between casting cost and color identity: a single red pip puts a 3/2 on the battlefield for
, but the ability that actually carries the deck is a five-color pip, which drags her identity into all five colors and hands the deckbuilder a full-rainbow manabase to solve. Solve it once and the extra combats stop being a resource question. Most "go wide and swing again" effects price the additional combat as a one-shot sorcery; this one prices it as a repeatable activation and then supplies the token engine to justify paying for it turn after turn. The infinite lines are not about untapping a land here and there: they route through outlets that regenerate the exact colored mana the activation demands, so the loop's real requirement is a repeatable source of all five colors between phases. The danger was never the rate of any single swing. It was that each combat produces the bodies that make the next activation worth casting.
