Meet: The Garaen

They are a red tribe. They are quadrupedal, but have opposable thumbs on their hands and feet. Their upper torso is much larger than their lower torso. The same goes with their arms. Their feet generally have large claws on them. They are colored red. Double Strike is fairly common in this race, seeing as they can carry 4 different weapons at any given time. They share spiritual bonds with each other, making each other more resilient.

New mechanic: if this creature would be destroyed or exiled, you may instead exile another Garaen you control.

My choice in creature type - Sheep.
Most will white and be 1/1, 0/2, etc. but all have a new ability "Herd" (This creature gets +0/+1 for each other creature you control that shares a creature type with it.) I even came up with a 'lord' for the sheep:
Sheep Herder
:mana1::manaw::manaw:
Creature - Human
uncommon
Sheep you control get +0/+1.
:mana1::manaw: : Sheep you control get +1/+0 untill end of turn.
2/2

Just came up with another one:
Creature type - Chimera
Most chimera will have one basic ability (Trample, First Strike, etc). They'll be the colour that best represents thier ability. They all have the ability 'Merge' - Sacrifice this creature: Target chimera gets +1/+1 counters equal to this creature's power and gains [basic ability] (This effect lasts indefinitly).

The "Toy" Tribe

This tribe was created Lilith when she was just a kid, she loved making toys from simple rocks and twigs, but she wanted the toys to come alive, she searched for ways to give her toys life, this ignited her planeswalker spark, she ventured the planes to find the solution to her problems, she found Necromancy. from then on her "toys" were no longer of twigs and stones, but of flesh. Unholy abominations of these creatures. She now resides in her own plane, constantly creating more "toys" from the creatures she had slain.

Well, there's the origin story of the tribe. Now the specific keyword for the tribe is probably "decompose" for the creatures of the toy tribe were created from parts of other dead creatures, they rot over time, this is the effect of the keyword, after a set amount of turns the creature is sent to the graveyard unless the player pays half of the creatures converted mana cost rounded up.

Here's an example:

Restitched Wurm
Creature - Wurm
:mana3::manab::manag:

Decompose 4 (sacrifice this creature at the fourth upkeep after casting unless player pays have of this creatures converted mana cost, rounded up)

3/2

This means that after summoning you'll have it on the field for 4 turns after, then sacrifice or pay the cost. Unless there is an enchantment. like this.

Seal of Preservation
Enchantment
:mana2::manab:
Enchanted creature does not decompose.

But decomposing isn't really a bad thing because of cards like this:

Lilith's Recycler
:mana6:
Artifact Creature

This creatures power and toughness is equal to the number of decomposed creatures in the graveyard.

*/*

or an enchantment like this:

Lilith's Furnace
Enchantment
:mana2::manar::manar:

whenever a creature decomposes deal damage to target player equal to the creatures power.

There's my tribe, with all the ins and outs of the keyword, I would put in Lilith, the Planeswalker, but I'm lazy

The magic and rules people would HATE this one. Banding? Incredibly complicated. All lands are colorless. It is very hard to measuse weather a land produces colorless mana. Would pain lands count? that kind of thing.

So yeah, my tribe idea...:D[/QUOTE]

You have a few minor problems.
If you have the red king out and the glorious rule enchantment, all red disciples are dead. White disciples have lifelink, and they are 0/6. Green diciples are out of flavor. Perhaps use "when this deals damage to a player, put a +1/+1 couter on it?
Red one= OVERPOWERED. instead of double strike, perhaps haste, or one more mana cost and first strike?

i've got another one cloudlings

they are creatures like ball lightning but some of the more expensive ones (mana wise ) last longer with element counters

such as this :manar::manar::mana3:

Grudge Cloudling

Haste, Trample

Element3 ( when played this creature comes into play with 3 element counters
remove one each turn when there are no more element counters on this creature discard it)

When Grudge Cloudling is put into a graveyard from anywhere you may exile it, if you do deal damage equal to it's power to target player or creature

4/1

or this :manar::manar::manar::manar:

Explosive Cloudling

Haste,Trample

Explosive2 (when this creature is put into a graveyard from anywhere you may choose two targets split the damage evenly between them equal to this creature's power)

at the end of the turn sacrifice explosive cloudling

6/1
