So i got into magic when born of of gods came out and have mostly just been doing standard fnm but want to start to move into commander. One thing i have a big fondness for is tribal style decks and was wondering what people had for suggestions for a tribal commander deck.

{Ezuri, Renegade Leader}! He's a great general, and you can build a great elf deck with him at the helm for very cheap :)

If you aren't interested in mono-green elves, {Nath of the guilt leaf} is pretty cool. I run a {Krenko, mob boss} goblin tribal deck that can easily win by turn 4, but that kind of speed isn't for everyone. If you want to do a slower but more consistent goblin deck, {wort, boggart auntie} is an option. Slivers are pretty popular, and {sliver overlord} is great for those. I've seen people do mono-blue illusions with {Kira, great glass-spinner}, and I've seen zombies with {grimgrin, corpse-born}. There is also that new BUG naga shaman for BUG zombies :) {Doran, seige tower} is pretty great for treefolk, and {horde of notions} makes for an interesting elemental deck! {Olivia Voldaren} works well for vampires, as does {Drana, khalastria bloodchief}.

I think I've covered most of the best tribal options, hope this helps!

There are so many tribes, almost any creature type you want can be a potential deck. My advice is to pick something that sounds up your alley. If you like swarms, check out goblins ({Krenko, Mob Boss} among so many others) or soldiers (I have an all-soldier tribal with {Odric, Master Tactician} that's super fun). If you're more into variety, check out something like Elementals ({Horde of Notions}) or slivers ({Sliver Queen}). Maybe you like a tricky deck (Faeries - {Oona, Queen of the Fae}) or a beefy one (Beasts - {Gahiji, Honored One}, {Marath, Will of the Wild}) or a murderous one (Vampires - {Olivia Voldaren}).

Just the tip of the iceberg...

 {Karona, False God} & tribal gods :)

Or {Atogatog} Atogs or Karona Allies

I like Kittyquipment tribal deck with {Kemba, Kha Regent} or {Raksha Golden Cub} sat the helm. EDH being the long game with lots of mana, I also enjoy my {B}{R}Demons and {G}{W}Angels duel decks.

Atog Atog would be an artifact deck

Not many atogs :/

If you choose to go the zombie route (which I highly recommend) then check out my list! It'll give you some good starting points :)

Dragon tribal with {Scion of the Ur-Dragon} is something I intend to try. Make it reanimator. There's also a lot of other dragons kicking around that are quite epic. Just search types and put in Legendary Dragon.

Scion is the best!
T5 kill if you really want to
Even faster with rocks and dorks

Thanks for all the tips everyone. As i am new to the commander game and want to get the feel for it i think i am going to look into soldier, elf, or maybe dragon. Silvers seems really fun but expensive to get the keys to that deck.
