“Ah yes, these Star Wars dad jokes will make a fine addition to my collection”

Let me fix Beast Whisperer for Dana as a bear tribal card...I'll do it using the new Cleave mechanic: Bea[st Whispere]r

Your guys conversation on edh is so entertaining.... I catch every episode I can and I can just listen or watch I love it.... Great content great channel fellas....

If you're playing a green tribe, I always suggest Beast Whisperer. 4 mana, whenever you cast a creature, draw a card. Simple and clean, easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl.

"Oh my god, they were broommates"

Vanquisher's Banner and Icon of Ancestry put in a lot of work in my vampire deck as sources of pump and extra cards. With it being mono black I have other ways to draw cards but those 2 still pull their weight and its awesome you can run them in anything.

As one of the few people that has used Fight to the Death due to pulling several copies from an Alara Reborn fatpack, I'm glad it's in this episode's challenge.

I’ve had a Kindred Summons for a long time but have never really used it in anything until I saw this video lol. Totally throwing this in my Kyler deck. That deck needs more card advantage anyway.

My first Commander deck (which I still have) was Samut, Voice of Dissent Warrior tribal and it's so much fun. The only non Warrior in the deck is God-Eternal Oketra, who makes big Zombie Warriors. It's a beatdown deck with some fun things going on in the top end. Never plan on taking that thing apart

I once was in a pod that had a Slivers deck while I was playing my Boros Soldiers deck. Sliver player swung out at the two combo players and didn't have enough even with his Coat of Arms to kill all three of his opponents. So he leaves the Boros deck up, I soak the damage and live. My turn comes around, Assemble The Legion gets me 3 more tokens. 3 more total creatures including my board state and his coat of arms. I then cast my own coat of arms and Berserkers' Onslaught (when I still ran it). Pushed every Soldier into the red zone along with my commander, Iroas. Combat belongs to the Boros, not some silly bugs. :p

Oof, I hadn't realized konda's banner was symmetrical. I'm going to have to cut it from my Orvar list now.

casting a spirit/vampiric link on an opponent's creature is hillarious!

dang, every episode is amazing but this one is just filled with so many golden eggs. Dana's concept of comparing a mana rock to Urza's incubator was mind blowing. Also who knew 2 is twice as good as 1?!?!

It's a shame how there's a bunch of overlap between tribal support cards, as the prices tend to go waaay up. It also contributes a lot to them feeling kind of samey. Rin and Seri might be the one tribal deck I'm looking forward to building soon.

While it strictly a tribal card the monuments are very good. I really enjoy the synergy between kefnet’s monument and gadwick in my wizard tribal deck.

Thank you so much for making these videos. I wait in antici- all week for you guys to post a new episode. -pation

Always love the content. This one especially spoke to me. Tribal building and buffing is definitely my jam.

The major problem with those cards is the budget.

I’ve always loved Konda’s Banner.

Thank you for making this video!!! I learned a lot!!!

I remember watching this and starting rebuilding Edgar Markov as Crimson Vow was released, now I’m planning to build a Sai Thopter tribal deck, and it’s always a good things to watch you guys. Love this channel, it’s one of the first ones that really got me into commander, keep up the good work!

Much as I love double-dadjokes from both Matt and Dana...I kinda miss Dana's snarkisms at the state of Magic to begin my EDHrecCast!

One of my best moments ever with my Marrow-Gnawer deck. I have Door of Destinies and Thrumming Stone on the field, then cast Relentless Rats. I had over 20 rats on the field and their power/toughness was just ridiculous. If only I had Alter of Dementia at that time. One turn later, still won by turning right. Haha

Pyre of heroes in mono white angels is fantastic

god i want dana to make a "random obscure cards i like" list on archidekt i can pick through

I think players pass over Skemfar Shadowsage because it's an elf, but in a deck like Wilhelt that makes a lot of tribal tokens it can add up to a very nice way to close out the game.

the challenge the stats!!! ive been building a deck based off these with ikra and Tymna as my commanders so its basically lifegain vampires

Cavern of Souls

I had no idea Steely Resolve existed. Thanks for letting me know about that one!

What about Gray Merchant? It fits in all zombie Deck, but Mike importantly it can even fit in a black vampires deck that focuses on life drain ie; Vito. Is this a good include? What do y'all think?

Kyler outshining Lenoire in her own deck lol

bro what I bought Steely Resolve like 3 years ago from card kingdom and it was like 75 cents hahaha

Kindred Summons is an instant??????? Wow

all my blue tribal decks run Sun Quan and Archetype of Imagination. Giving your entire team unblockable has won me many games

That CPR joke took my breath away.

Wizards, reprint the kindred cycle, you cowards! I find myself adding icon of ancestry into my tribal decks that are less supported in terms of lords and such. Goes well with/in place of heralds horn

Love me some Jank tribal and creature tribal discussion ( : Return of the nightstalkers and ashes of the fallen, etc... are another way to do a patriarchs bidding effect if you for some reason aren't running tribal nightstalkers.

I don’t have any tribal edh decks, but I run kindred discovery in my Talrand deck because it draws sooooo many cards off the drake tokens

Love the Rocky Horror Picture reference :D

I played patriarchs bidding during onslaught standard. It was great in zombie tribal deck

I have two tribal decks wizards and slivers and enjoy both of them besides my elf deck which is my most favorite deck

I have a suggestion for you guys: A 'fun' score. Like the salt score, but people rate the cards on how fun they are to play and play against. This would better help people build low power but really fun decks.

Arcane adaptation, inspiring statuary, mycosynth golem, and conspiracy also good options generically

....I always come here for the puns. 😄😁😊

what about doing a part 2 of this topic? :D for instance, adding Horn of Gondor on 19:38 for an EXPLOSIVE amount of mana? Also, Gilraen can blink by paying "2, tap" with benefits!

I'm with Dana on building tribal. I've theorycrafted a bunch of tribal decks but the only one I have in paper is Rat tribal and I'm not really interested in building any more.

I love tribal decks. So much synergy. Especially dragons! So much so that I built 2 dragon decks!

You're making me want to finish making my Rafiq X First Slivers Chosen deck.... 👀

Pyre of heroes is very good in goblins. Krenko > Kiki Jiki. Token > welder Grenzo > sharpshooter/matron

Love tribal decks. The only problem is that my two tribal decks are "Krakens, Leviathans, Octopi and Serpents" and "Pegasi, Unicorns and Horses" which means I can't use the standard tribal cards.

I couldn't help but notice Crippling Fear is a strictly better Eyeblight Massacre printed in the same set (which I found rather rude)

Does Winota, Joiner of Forces count as tribal? i tend to use soldiers and goblin tokens to use winota's effect to get humans, but would it classify as human tribal considering all of the non-human support? (only 12~15 humans in deck)(about 12 token generators like kuldotha rebirth, martial coup, hero of bladehold (fills both roles), raise the alarm, assemble the legion etc) non-human cards include cards like angel of the dire hour, avacyn archangel of hope, sun titan, cathars crusade, thrill of possibility etc. (obviously more white than red at this point)

I agree with Dana on non-tribal creatures in a tribal deck. I "look down" on decks that include them because it comes off as the builder didn't wanna actually try something unique and copped out with generic power cards and MtG/EDH has waaay too much of that as is.

Spreading Plague in Jund Eldrazi. 75% of the time, it works everytime!

Species Specialist, in my mono black Jerren human tribal....it's the best 4 drop in my deck

I don't actually have a tribal deck, you could say that my rakdos decks is eldrazi but it doesn't really care about the eldrazi per say it just wnat colorless big stuff, I've been meaning to make one, either an Inalla deck or a Kumena one, but something else always comes up that push them back on the queue, also I like the idea of a wizard deck but I would need more impactful wizards in order to make the deck good like the only viable option I see is the combo with the merfolk but I am not looking for that type of deck, for example the giant wizard from kaldheim that deal x damage where x is the number of creatures with a common types its the kind of finisher I was talking about but, idk it still feel like meh

Am I the only one who like Cryptic Gateway for tribal?

They WERE BROOMATES !

It's gone up in price but Unholy Grotto for the new zombie pre con would help immensely.

Price of the card also dictate how many deck will use the cards

Cavern of Souls is a terrible tribal card preventing one off random lord in you deck from getting counted isn't all that impactful. It is however a very strong card for decks who need to ensure one specific card gets into play, like decks centered on their commander.

A really great card for tribal decks is the "Maskwood nexus". Even the support cards for your deck become the same tribe and get/give all the bonuses. Great for tribal types that have few cards of that type. Heroes for instance.. etc. Really surprised this card wasn't given a mention here. Also major props for the changelings! They are great for filling extra slots in a tribal deck

Faces of the past does work.

My Ayula plays 24 bears + 12 non-bears creatures. But I do make a point to avoid playing Changelings and artifact creatures.

They should define “tribal”, like how many of a creature do you need to call it “tribal”? How many creatures not of the tribe are allowed? Does your Commander need to be of the tribe? (For example, Alela actually might be the best commander for Sphinx tribal, but she’s not a Sphinx, and she only makes faeries, yet she pumps flyers, likes artifacts and enchantments, and plays in Esper colors).

PATION!

Damn I though Joey had totally gotten Matt finally but he always has another haha

I'm with Dana 100% if you aren't a zombie, you aren't going in my zombie deck. That's one of the reasons I waited so long to build a zombie tribal deck, it was all humans leading zombies. And that just sounds so lame to me, I want a zombie leading the zombies into battle.

God, I wish I had a playgroup where G/W human tribal is even remotely playable...

dadjokeRECcast soon! xD

dana all about that alpha status have a foil play set for my snake tribal decks

Tribal: Any Commander: First Sliver Arcane Adaptation: Sliver Cryptic Gateway / Mana Echoes / Mycosynth Lattice / Maelstrom Nexus Everything else is just filler to play the deck as fast as possible and set up win con.

WOTC! MAKE A ABZAN TRIBAL ELF COMMANDER!

Seedborn is a little overrated but it's still good.

Okay it’s an hour long episode and I’m handling my newborn did I miss them mention Masked wood nexus? I mean it smooths out all those non tribal cards that end up in the tribal deck. It also is a 3 mana tap to kill spell in my reaper king 👑

I think Joey is sleeping on Molten Echoes a bit too much. It’s an ETB effect so it is doubled by Panharmonicon or Anointed Procession, quadrupled with both. Casting a legendary isn’t a problem is you want those extra copies to die immediately (doesn’t work with sacrifice triggers though), without the need of a sac outlet. Cast a single lord, pump your team +5/+5 for the turn instead of just +1/+1. Speaking of lords, Thirsting Bloodlord unfortunately doesn’t make the cut in my Edgar Markov deck. There’s already Captivating Vampire, Legion Lieutenant, Stormkirk Captain, and Bloodline Keeper//Lord of Lineage, each are either cheaper or provide another benefit other than jump the pump. Two tribal lords you didn’t mention are Adaptive Automaton and Metallic Mimic. Then there’s also Cordial Vampire, who works with the Molten Echoes + legendary trick. If you were able to cast it just before your legendary, each copy would see those legendaries die as well and all vampires would get 20x +1/+1 counters. Big Daddy Markov started off as your usual tribal deck, but has quickly warped into a tribal/combo deck. I also prefer Herald’s Horn over Urza’s Incubator thanks to its second ability. In terms of non-tribal cards, Adriana, Captain of the Guard and Birgi, God of Storytelling//Harnfell, Horn of Bounty have made separate appearances depending on which version of the deck I had built at the time.

I think you guys missed something with Pyre of Heroes. Changelings exist.

I`ve never found a tribal deck I would like to build. I feel like they build themselves and that's boring

It is super sad and unfortunate that jank tribes like ladies looking left and bottom of the library tribal didn't get one mention : /

I disliked because of the first joke

My second ever commander deck was and still is Wort, Bogart Auntie Rackdos Goblin tribal, and one of my favourite pieces of support is the Pyre of heroes, it just gives me access to my whole deck and most of my non tribal creatures with graveshifter...

That "C3PR" is beautiful.
