Is there a card that allows you to play certain creature types for free? Preferably in the colors of red, white, blue. For example, I choose human and can get human creatures on the field for free somehow. Does something like this exist in standard currently? What I'm trying to do is get more bodies on the field early game so any tips on that too would be awesome
Well in standard right now there's Burning-Tree Shaman , which essentially does what you are looking for. There 's also Descendants' Path .
In modern, AEther Vial comes to mind for some of the same functionality.

Oh, and like Descendants' Path there is also Call to the Kindred

Mirror-Mad Phantasm + a flashbacked Unburial Rites on an Angel of Glory's Rise sounds like just what you'd like.

Or if you're looking to only run humans, a few good replacements for the phantasm would be Deranged Assistant , Selhoff Occultist , or Stern Mentor

Slycne, I think you mean Burning-Tree Emissary .
Anyways, Rooftop Storm for zombies. May pay zero. Its pretty dope.

vampirelazarus haha, oops. In my defense one of her creature types is shaman. Thanks for the catch.

No problem.
Omniscience is BAMF. I need like seven more for future edh decks. Seriously, that madda facka goes in every blue edh deck I'll ever make. Ever.

Decendant's Path would be ideal, but the color doesn't fit my build. Call to the Kindred is nice, too, but it's a higher cmc than I was hoping for.

Personally, I think you'll be better off with low drop creatures if you're trying to get them out early. All these options are expensive mana wise, dvd I don't really see them as viable in standard, unless it's turbo fog or ramp.

The only thing like this in standard is Rooftop Storm . There is Angel of Glory's Rise which kinda does something like that for humans and Herald of War that also kinda does stuff like that. Oh and there's a sorcery that returns all zombies from the yard to the battlefield.
