Deck Challenge: Oddity

You challenge today is to make a tribal deck with an obscure tribe. All creatures, with the exception of Adaptive Automaton, must be in your tribe (as in the same type). You may, and are encouraged, to post multiple decks. Each deck submitted will get a guaranteed 1 comment (me :D) and like. In addition to getting a free comment and like, I will post your tribal deck to a list in this comment that I will update often. This list will be sorted by tribes in alphabetical order, and each deck will get it's own link and spot on this list along with your username to identify who posted it. My hope is that this will get you more responses/comments/likes than if you were to post a deck regularly. I will try to be speedy with my comments, but if I get behind please don't get mad, k' ;). Repeats are allowed. Budget decks (-40$) are preferred, but not required. If I get enough budget responses, I will make a separate list for them. Other than that, the only rule is to keep your tribes obscure and have fun!!!! :D

For finding ALL of your tribe's members, I'd suggest using the Oracle since it updates creature types of older creatures.

Note: I'll be updating the list with decks of my own. These will be simplistic in design and are meant to give ideas. I DON'T want you to comment on them.

This sounds like it could be interesting, so I found a relatively obscure tribe that I don't think most people would think about using, because they're not really a powerful tribe. They're monks.

If there's an odd creature type you want made into a tribal deck, I'll take a shot at designing it.

Sounds like fun. I think I'll try avoid using Adaptive Automation and to keep in the "assassin" theme I'll use Assassinate :p I'll be a while with it though, I need to doe research first. Any limitations? (Budget, set legality, etc.) I find it more fun to work with reasonable limitations :D

Gonna have to be honest when I say spirits are not that obscure of a tribe. I say this only about INNISTRAD spirits. Now, KAMIGAWA spirits are obscure. In fact, I'm looking to find a kamigawa spirit deck for a friend. Maybe you could make one for me? ;)

So... I've been testing all the decks in 2 places; Me and my friend's tribal metagame, and an online metagame. In the online metagame, people only play elves, goblins, vamps, humes, kithkin, or treefolk. In our homemade metagame we have banned:

Elves
Goblins
Vampires
Humans
Treefolk (recent)
Faeries
Merfolk
Kithkin (in debate)
Soldier (in debate)

So far the best decks online have been:
Assassin
Minotaur
Spider
It should be noted that Treefolk beats all of these.

Against other non-vamp decks, Assassin has been very good, often fast enough to defeat Humans (assuming you're on the go). But I needed a counter to black creatures and indestructible ones (knights/treefolk) and post Doom Blade, my matchup against humans was less than spectacular. Minotaur gets mentioned only because of the sheer unfairness of Didgeridoo. You won't understand til you're sitting across from it. Spider has been okay, due to Arachnus Web tutoring ability and Regeneration. In our own metagame however the best 2 decks have been Assassin and Descendants' Path Eldrazi :eek:. Assassin wins in non-black match-ups due to over half of it being effiecent
creature-based removal and regular removal. My friends don't ever play it 1 on 1 anymore, and we are considering banning it. Since it's my baby, and I want to use it, we need three more black tribals to make sure we can balance the metagame. I'm also pushing for the legalization of Kithkin, but that's not likely to happen. It would be nice to see a budget Zombie tribal that can at least stand a chance against a T1 Didgeridoo. Also on the list of tribes we need is Horror.

Found an old Slith deck I made for another challenge and reworked it. The original challenge said I had to use every Slith so I had to deal with a rainbow deck. Now I've cut it down to just 3 colors. Should be fun.

Sac 2 Goblins to Goblin Warrens with Parallel lives 6 Goblins come into play gain 6 life then sac three to Skirk Prospector and two to Goblin Warrens and your off to infinite!!

infinite Goblins = Skirk Prospector + Goblin Warrens + Parallel Lives + 2 Goblins
infinite life = Leyline of Vitality + Skirk Prospector + Goblin Warrens + Parallel Lives + 2 Goblins
infinite size = coat of arms + Skirk Prospector + Goblin Warrens + Parallel Lives + 2 Goblins

Very Good. However, this challenge is for obscure tribals, and Goblins are tied for least obscure tribal with elves (although they may be a close second). I will still post it to the list, but only because it's combo goblins instead of horde. Thank you fo your post!!! :)

Alright, here's Thrulls

I also was digging around and have some more for you.

Eldrazi (not what you think =P)

If you want to call "Defenders" a tribe, then this one is. Not sure if it has enough actual Walls to be a Wall tribe either, but it might.

This is Fungus/Saprolings...Are they obscure enough?

Scarecrows. I'm sure someone can make a better one...never been too happy with mine =/

Thopters

Clerics (saw you hadn't nix'd them, so here's mine =])

Zombies (same thing as ^)

Also, why aren't mah Golems on the list? =[

So, by meaning with the exeption of Adaptive Automaton, does that mean it can or can't have it it the deck?

Also, can you have cards that aren't in the tribe as long as they benifit the tribe (For example, Stinkdrinker Daredevil is a Goblin that makes your giants cost :mana2: less)?

I don't know why sure doesn't think so, but it may be similar to bears. They are obscure in general to the point that that's why people make them, and as such they do it more often. Also, it may be because they're ninja, so they're obviously too awesome to be obscure. Probably something else but w/e, they're obscure where I am.

Am I missing something? 2/33 centaurs in magic have no abilities and that deck has two actual centaur in it. Everything else makes tokens instead... It's an interesting idea but I wouldn't really consider it tribal. The same thing could be done with elephant tokens or any other generic token which really distracts from the tribal aspect.

[QUOTE=_Epsilon_]Am I missing something? 2/33 centaurs in magic have no abilities and that deck has two actual centaur in it. Everything else makes tokens instead... It's an interesting idea but I wouldn't really consider it tribal. The same thing could be done with elephant tokens or any other generic token which really distracts from the tribal aspect.[/QUOTE]

Hey! Tokens are creatures too! =P

But jokes aside, there are some obscure tribes that work almost exclusively through tokens (Goats and Worms for example). For this reason, a lot of the time a tribal deck that uses tokens is still considered legal. It still has means of putting that creature type onto the battlefield.

One that hasn't been done yet: Owls

I guess technically it's birds but all the creatures are owls so....

you do know that Coat of Arms = slightly worse overrun effect right? You basically can only play it if you are going to swing for lethal that turn. If you play it when you're not going to win outright chances are pretty huge that your opponent will be able to create more creatures with the same type then you can create specters. Imagine you playing Coat of Arms and your opponent follows up with Martial Coup. You just gave him 5 5/5's instead of 5 1/1's.

Thespian's Stage makes this so much better than it was before. You have a genuine tribe now =]
