It’s also likely that Innistrad: Crimson Vow is going to boost the power level of this tribe yet again, so they’re one to pay attention to. Now we’ve got cards like Laelia, the Blade Reforged and Bell Borca, Spectral Sergeant who mess around with exiling things for value. Traditionally, Spirits have just been a little bit hexproof and all flying, but these new cards have changed things. Strixhaven introduced more White and Red cards into the mix. While you could argue that Spirits in Modern have been semi-viable for a few years, in our opinion, they didn’t become a really interesting tribe until the release of Strixhaven. Spirits wouldn’t have been this high up on a list of the best MTG tribes until fairly recently. Spooky, but ethereal Recent spirit cards such as Bell Borca, Spectral Sergeant have helped turn it into one of Magic: The Gathering's best tribes. The tribe, on the whole, tends to value landfall triggers, and can often flood the board with hordes of shockingly big creatures, along with often finding ways to make sure you’re drawing extra cards and getting additional value from your graveyard too. The latest version of the Elemental creature, Omnath, Locus of Creation, is a four-colour terror that is currently banned in Brawl and Standard. Image: Wizards of the CoastĮlementals are another five-colour tribe, but this one isn’t as much about synergy as just having a lot of mana, and probably using all four iterations of Omnath. The Fire Nation is the least of your worries Omnath, Locus of Creation is one of the most fearsome creatures in the elementals tribe. Because of this, you can use them to be aggressive when needed, or hold back and build up an army if you need to overwhelm someone’s defences. It’s a tribe that tends to be good at protecting itself using a variety of keywords such as ward and hexproof, and has a lot of ways to become unblockable too. Merfolk are an excellent MTG tribe for those who are keen on drawing a lot of cards, and those who like playing in Blue and Green. It’s probably not fair to assume Merfolk smell like the sea, but a lot of people refer to the deck in Modern as being “fish”, so it’s not unreasonable. Something’s fishy Strong in both attack and defence, the merfolk tribe is ideal for Blue and Green decks.
They’re undoubtedly powerful, and they come in every mana colour, but they’re not quite powerful enough to rank any higher than this. However, they’re not all that competitive and, even in Commander, will often be outplayed by more interesting creature types. They’re also one of the best examples of what a good tribe should do, as each card works together in perfect harmony.
Slivers were, in many respects, the first tribe in Magic: The Gathering. We know we said that Eldrazi haven’t been printed in a while, but technically we got Slivers in Modern Horizons 2, which was this year, so we’re counting it. Image: Wizards of the Coastįirst up is Slivers. We are legion Every Slivers cards works well together, making it a satisfying tribe to build a deck around. It’s worth noting that Eldrazi would be on this list if they were a little more consistent, but we’ve not seen them in a while, and they’re not often designed to work together anyway. Tribes in MTG go way beyond just being useful in Commander, so we’ve tried to keep that in mind with how we’ve ranked them. Not everyone puts their decks on EDHREC, but it’s a nice little snapshot of what people play, at least when it comes to the Commander format. The most popular of these is Elves, and the least popular is actually tied between Crocodiles, Warlocks, Serpents, Gargoyles and Bats. In fact, decks often end up labelled as simply being “Standard Zombies” or “Modern Humans” instead of any greater strategy beyond that.Īccording to EDHREC, there are 117 tribes. MTG is filled with tribal decks in nearly every single format. No matter what the tribe is, as long as they all share a creature type, they’re often far more powerful together than apart. While they’ll often be things like Wolves, Cats or Dragons, you’ll also occasionally find tribes in Magic: The Gathering that are a little looser when it comes to their definition, such as Warriors or Wizards. MTG tribes are cards that share a creature type. One of the most fun ways to build a deck in Magic: The Gathering is to base it around one of the many tribes in the game.
