Tribal Deck Challenge
This challenge is a lot simpler than my previous two, and odds are many of you are already prepared.
The challenge is simple to build and present your best tribal deck(s).
Oh, and it can't be elves. I love elves, have two elf decks of my own. As great as elves are, they have been done to death.
Bonus for obscure tribes from old sets or for tribes that only existed within a single block.
Here are my entries:
A black/green Treefolk deck that wins by making all your Treefolk indestructible, then wrathing the board. Leafcrowned Elder and Oracle of Mul-Daya combo beautifully to ensure that you are always drawing treefolk and that you have all the mana you could ever need to play them. They allow me to play through a lot of the deck quickly and get masses of treefolk and forests in to play in order to pump up my Dauntless Dourbark. Oracle of Mul-Daya fits with the tribal theme because she's a druid and can be put in to play with Leafcrowned Elder's ability.

My second entry is a mono black Zombie deck that give all your zoms deathtouch then combines it with first strike for a great attack deterrent. It cheats all the swamps in your deck directly in to play with an unholy grotto/korlash combo, makes all lands in play swamps then, after all the zoms are pumped up to deal at least 5 damage each (often much more), gives all your zoms swampwalk for a killer finish swing.
It's strict tribal and a lot of fun, the only non creature/non land card is dark ritual.

If any of you want to drop a comment on my decks I would appreciate it!

an interesting take on merfolks:
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=381591
and here is my somewhat of tribal deck it uses changelings to abuse two most lovely tribes imho (elves and goblins) the best part is just replace tribal cards with your fav tribe cards and you have a brand new deck :

Seeing that I can't post my elf decks, how about you name a tribe and I'll design a deck for it :p

I don't build tournament-serious tribal decks, so "best" is a relative term. XD BUT, here's a couple decks I've built and, just for you, I may go build the oddball one I was considering.
Scuttling Menace - Mono-Green Insects
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=361466
---If it's playing right, I'm attacking with a small horde of 6/6 Insects by turn 5. There's a few cards out of RtR that will be going in here, too, and I'm thinking of putting Rancor back in, but for now it's just a fun deck to play.
Hot Puppies - R/W Hounds
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=370186
---Generic burn/robble-robble. I have no idea what it would play like. XD
And now to try building that other tribal deck that's be sitting in my head...
EDIT: Draco Minimus! - Mono-U Drakes
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=386884
---Needs work, since it was tossed together on the fly and I foolishly forgot just how MANY drakes there are. They've been one of blue's most staple creatures right from the beginning of the game. :)

I have a few tribal decks. I made once especially for this, so I hope it's obscure enough. I mean, Knight decks are easy to make... If you use white. Otherwise they're a bit harder to create since you don't have Exemplar or Mirran Crusader.

Ninja deck here. It's pretty cool.

And this following deck was a joke deck, but it was funny at the time.
BEAR!

Just for me? You sure know how to make a girl feel special! Only, I'm a guy, and what I just said was creepy. May it be stricken from the records.
Dropped a comment and suggestions on all your decks. I've never seen a Drake deck before, good on ya!
[quote=Krome]And this following deck was a joke deck[/quote]
I laughed, but this tribal deck I just built is NOT a joke. :)

RELENTLESS RATS EXPLOITED!
DedWards, since you asked, build me a Pirate deck. Because I'm a ninja, and I hate pirates, and I need a deck that allows me to kill pirates.

Ninja's aren't hard... just get them first strike and evasion and the shenanegans ensue. Of course, it doesn't help that they haven't added Planechase 2012 cards to the site yet so you can't use some of the best cards for them.

I meant the tribe "Pirate" is difficult. Ninja's are easy, very easy.

Well, you are a senior member, I'll be interested to see if you can make something workable with all your senior knowledge and experience. :)
Thought you might like a challenge.
