[Deck] Dragon Stompy

[bruizar]

She's better than Garrison. The Tokens trigger her as well. So she does spiral out of control quickly. For the ease of formatting, lets note the turn you play her as turn 1.

On Turn 1, She does 0 damage.
On Turn 2, She does 4 damage.
On Turn 3, She does 6 Damage.
On Turn 4, She does 10 Damage.

With Garrison, it goes

On Turn 1, They do 0 damage.
On Turn 2, They do 4 damage.
On Turn 3, They do 6 Damage.
On Turn 4, They do 8 Damage.

And Rabble goes

On Turn 1, He does 1 damage.
On Turn 2, He does 6 damage.
On Turn 3, He does 8 Damage.
On Turn 4, He does 10 Damage.


So Rabble and Najeela technically kill on the same turn on a locked board. However, Rabble does much more of his damage up front. Additionally, You can double rabble to cut a turn off the clock and you cannot double Najeela. And with the high amount of baleful strix running around, Rabble seems much better.

What I like about Najeela is the ability to work with warrrior synergies, and the fact that the warriors aren't forced to attack. So you can send a Mutavault or a Ghitu Encampment (this is a warrior too) and get an extra token for it. I'm still exploring whether there exists other warriors (in red) that are any good. I like Blood Chin Rager, but it's black and doesn't lock out the opponent or further the plan unfortunately. Maybe goblin chainwhirler. I doubt there is an easy way to generate 5 colored mana. Rabblemaster may end up being the better card, but there is a lot of design space to cover with Najeela. One advantage is that Najeela creates white warrior tokens that do not receive -1/-1 from Holy Light which is used in DNT/Soldier Stompy sideboards for instance. Very corner case, but I believe magic is a game where the inches make the difference between winning and losing.
