Title: Fun/good tribal commanders?
Post by: redwolv on October 27, 2015, 12:30:26 AM
So my playgroup is getting alittle board of our current decks and decided that each of us will make tribal decks just to change things up. So i am looking for suggestions.

The rules:
Commanders type must be the tribe. So no  {Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} Zombies.

Artifacts are not a tribe. so nothing like karn.

No non-tribal utility creatures- if it is a creature it must be a member of your tribe. Aka no  {Solemn Simulacrum} Unless your tribe is golems.

Things that are all creature types or will enter the battlefield as your tribe are fair game, like changelings.

Suggestions go!

I'm thinking Slivers, goblins, elves. But that's the obvious. Could try something else instead.
But so many ways to go.
{shattergang brothers} goblin stax could be unexpected.

{Azami, Lady of Scrolls} Wizards tribal decks are a thing. :P

{Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero} Rebels.  My list only runs three non-rebel creatures (four if you don't count {Adaptive Automaton}, six if you don't like changelings) and can be played without them (but not having {Mirror Entity} hurts).

God tribal, or leviathan (creatures of the deep?)

God would be fun, but Akroma is an Avatar, not a God, and any other choice nets you a total of 3 creatures in the tribe & color identity.
Now that I think of it: Avatar tribal would be pretty harsh. Put in some ways to cheat them in, and take names with {progenitus}, {Akroma, false god} OR {child of Alara} at the helm.

I think i will take a closer look at avatars and rebels when I get home. Sadly kaylesh is right with not being able to get many of the gods as there is not a 5 color one. Maybe a arguement could be made for karona though, her name is "false god"

But keep the ideas coming guys.

Edit:  thanks Glowackattack.

Eldrazi with Kozilek as commander might be good.

Vampires with {Oliva Voldaren} sounds pretty fun. Or a bunch of instants and sorcerys with {Talrand, Sky Summoner} would be cool

I would probably go {Talrand, Sky Summoner} with a bunch of cool Merfolk... I may try build that deck lol

True. Would likely be better.

That new "wade into battle" deck has kind of a tribal giants theme, a little tweaking could turn it into something cool
