I feel like youd want some Consuming Aberration in this bitch. Its only requirement to being awesome is existing :)

Get that birds of paradise outta there.


speaking from my own experience, the 1 life loss from creatures leaving the battlefield is probably not the way to go, although i didn't really try any sort of token strategy.

auto includes in a vela the night clad deck:
Tombstone stairwell - say you have 5 creatures in your graveyard, at the end of each players turn, each opponent will lose 5 life.
rite of replication - a kicked RoR on your vela will net you 30 damage to each opponent (5 velas enter the battlefield at once, then, since they are all legendary 5 velas die. 6 velas on the battlefield means that you get 5 x 6 = 30 triggers for life loss)


you seem like someone that would want to attack with hard to block creatures though.


I would suggest stuff that does stuff when it hits, like ashling, the extinguisher, Ink-eyes, servant of oni, throat slitter, (other ninjas), Liliana's reaver, scythe specter, cephalid constable, dimir cutpurse, diviner spirit, doomsday specter, ebonblade reaper, ghastlord of fugue, lord of the void, mindleech mass, guiltfeeder, scalpelexis (lol), necropolis regent, shadowmage infiltrator, shimian specter, shoreline salvager, stealer of secrets, sturmgeist, thada adel, acquisitor, thassa's emissary, wrexial, the risen deep, fireshrieker, grappling hook, quietus spike, mask of memory, mask of riddles (these are all good inclusions)


its important to keep key control pieces like board wipes and counterspells because otherwise all your dinky dudes that draw you cards are just drawing more cards.

You need more creatures that have enter/leaves the battlefield effects. You have too much vanilla crowding up your creatrue base. |[U]+![W]+![R]+![G]&type=+[creature]&text=+[when]+[enters]+[the]+[battlefield] ]http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&color=|[B]|[U]+![W]+![R]+![G]&type=+[creature]&text=+[when]+[enters]+[the]+[battlefield][/battlefield][/the][/enters][/when][/creature][/G][/R][/W][/U][/B][/battlefield][/the][/enters][/when][/creature][/G][/R][/W][/U] and |[U]+![W]+![R]+![G]&type=+[creature]&text=+[when]+[the]+[battlefield]+[leaves]]http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&color=|[B]|[U]+![W]+![R]+![G]&type=+[creature]&text=+[when]+[the]+[battlefield]+[leaves][/leaves][/battlefield][/the][/when][/creature][/G][/R][/W][/U][/B][/leaves][/battlefield][/the][/when][/creature][/G][/R][/W][/U] are 2 good lists to go thru. Evacuation and Devastation Tide would be good here. Listen to Bilzor and add RAMP. You will be sitting there doing nothing waiting 13 turns hoping on one of your bombs. 

Magic decks can really only do 1 thing well. Vela is interesting bc she offers you 2 roads to walk down. Intimidate is a powerful ability; A creature with intimidate can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it. This lends itself to cards like Rootwater Thief/ Wicked Akuba(active multiple times!!)/ Raven Guild Master and any colorless creature will be virtually unblockable. Ninjutsu is an ability from Kamagawa that you could have some fun with.   


If you really like the token idea, go for it! There could be some potential there. I just think youll find more success with intimidate. GL!

Am I on percocet or does Circu, Dimir Lobotomist make no sense in a 1-of-each deck.
