I made a human knight deck that works pretty well :) Knights maybe some cards from that would fit with the theme here? I am not certain exactly how suggesting fits with this lol

Volrath's Laboratory makes 2/2 Gods... And 2/2 Eldrazi... And 2/2 Krakens...

June 24, 2015 12:15 a.m.

Nowhere on Volrath's Laboratory does it say the creature type must already exist within the game, and therefore all possible creature types are included.

Including 2/2 Pikachu.

June 24, 2015 12:22 a.m.

Actually, it does have to exist. That's a rule of Magic, not the specific card.

Although I wouldn't mind a horde of Jesus. Nor would I mind a horde of Pikachus, Staplers, Nekos, Airbenders, Super Saiyans, Popsicles, Jews, Bricks, Cheese Strings or Prostitutes...

...

*Plays Laboratory naming Tacos

*Opponent concedes as they are unwilling to fight against the tacos

That is so disappointing that that rule exists lol.

House rule. Ignore that rule.

if you could do that, then could you also name the color "electric blue" for a horde of electric blue Pikachu?

*Names Shade for creature type

*Names Grey for color

*Uses immense token spam

*Gets 50 Shades of Grey

@RoarMaster: Nice try, but Unnatural Selection is already in the sideboard. Keep searching ;)

What about Konda's Banner second bonus?

And also, Trickery Charm second choice.

@hfvalenz - ...Uh...mm...uh buh.........Fuck, you got it >P

Trickery Charm is going in the sideboard because it fits the criteria but is not playable in most tribal decks

Konda's Banner on the other hand is feasible; most tribes have at least one legendary creature....and Mistform Ultimus if you are playing a good...I mean blue tribe.

Hey man, does Aphetto Dredging qualify?

@hfvalenz - ...Touche...yep, you got it :)

It's a good card, so it's going in the mainboard!

In all honesty, outside of standard and EDH, the only thing I play is tribal.

HARDCORE INNISTRAD TRIBAL.

.....Xenograft?

October 23, 2015 9:43 p.m.

....It's in the sideboard.

Woops.

+1 I like it! But what about Clever Impersonator? Can't run a shapeshifter deck without Clever Impersonator! Well, that's my bias at least, Clever Impersonator is my favorite clone/shapeshifter.

@Temur_Frontier: Though Clever Impersonator is a utility of a card that can go in any good...I mean blue deck, it does not fit in any/every tribal deck.
@flxk6: I use www.magiccards.info for my searches. As for Duplicant, I believe it fits the theme, since it copies the creature types. However, as it does not fit in all tribes (since it VERY likely copies the creature types of an opponent's creature), it will be relegated to the sideboard. Continue hunting :)

It's been a while since i Suggested Artificial Evolution but just wanted to point out Artificial Evolution+Isochron Scepter can turn any deck into a tribal deck

I haven't read any past comments, so sorry if this has been suggested already: maybe you could make new sections for each tribe, so instead of the whole 'creature' category with everything there, you could have 'Elves', 'Humans', 'Wizards', etc. It would make it a lot more user-friendly. Even if you don't/can't, I still appreciate what you've done. +1

@The_Redpill: I don't quite understand your suggestion. The vast majority of the creatures are changelings, so making new categories wouldn't accomplish much.

merrowMania I was half-asleep when I posted that, I thought this was a compilation of every tribal creature, etc. and I failed to notice that it wasn't that at the time. Sorry for the confusion

No problem. I have to deal with insomnia, so I understand that sort of thing.

All my decks are tribal save my burn deck! I love tribAl shells. +1, # tribalmatters
