Construct Bad Tribal.
Quest for the Holy Relic
+ lotsa 0 drop creatures to get Argentum armor onto a construct & swing to victory with Ornithopter.
Built for bad tribal, a modern variant with the additional restriction that you must have minimum 25 creatures which share a type and a banned list of creatures types. Creatures from your tribe may be from any non-silver bordered set.
To be more precise:
Any creature type in Magic outside of a select few are eligible to be used (more on that later). You build a (minimum) 60 card deck (no sideboards are used) that has at least 25 creatures from the chosen Tribe. Everything else in the deck has to follow the current Modern format rules (including Banned List), but your tribe's creatures can go back to Alpha, if you want to, as any sets are allowed, including special sets like dual decks & commander! (keep in mind that OTHER creatures in your deck that aren't related to your tribe have to be Modern legal).
Now, for the Banned Tribes List:
(some are color-specific, for example, you can't use BLUE Wizards, but any other color Wizards are fine): Beasts, White Clerics, Elemental, Green Elves, Blue Faeries, Zombies, Red Goblins, Merfolk, Slivers, White Soldiers, Black Vampires, and Blue Wizards. No creatures from these tribes can be used in this format. Note that Shapeshifters that have the "Changeling" keyword ability are exempted from this rule and may be used to represent any tribe (they'll definitely help you in a Niphilim deck!). Also, the card Riders of Gavony is banned.
