(Tier 7 continued)
Pangolin: Two members. No tribal synergy and the more interesting one is also a beast anyway.
Pest: One member. It’s actually a nice offensive creature and if it had a different type it could totally show up in decks.
Phelddagrif: Two members. Both of them are very cool...
Tier 7
Not much hope for these guys. Again, you’d need to bring in changelings to legally use any of them. I’ll list them all, mostly just for fun, but in a few corner cases someone could actually make a Tier 7 Tribe into a respectable deck.
Aurochs: Four members between Ice Age and Cold Snap...
Tier 8
These are the tribes made for tokens. They exist because of tokens, so they’re not really tribes in the conventional sense. I don’t see much point in commenting on them individually. They all have no real creatures as members (except, of course, for the universal exceptions). I do find it...
8: Tribes with 0 members (aside from Mistform Ultimus and changelings). These are creature types used for tokens, and some of those tokens are usually only generated by a single card. These tribes could probably be ignored entirely.
7: Tribes with fewer than 5 members (aside from Mistform...
I apologize for how long this is bound to run. If it helps, rather than reading the whole thing, I encourage you to just skim it and read the parts that are of interest to you. What I’ve done is taken some notes I compiled on a few different occasions and tried to jam the whole thing together...
So this topic has been quiet, but I wanted to offer a little update. I've been chipping away at a kind of primer based on the commentary provided by Mooseman in this thread. It's nearly finished. This thing is huge. I've organized every single creature type into eight tentative Tribal tiers and...

So we're tentatively thinking...
Sword: Carrow to equip as new default melee weapon.
Morning Star: Ty to equip as new right-hand weapon.
Crown: Ty to equip as new headgear.
Helm: Throg to hold onto and sell later, acquiring gold that can used for un/wise purchases.
In the first couple of adventures, like a decade ago or something, I did a thing where if I rolled for magic weapons I'd let the monsters wield them (if I thought it made sense). But by the time we were doing Death Below Karak Azgal, I moved away from that and back toward how Warhammer Quest...
No, Ty hasn't used his Whirlwind attack ever, but doing a bit of cleanup on some details, it occurs to me that I have been a bit vague about that ability and the official Pit Fighter booklet is likewise. So to clarify, the Whirlwind skill trades Ty's "normal" attacks and his additional attack...
Not sure how much it'll matter here, but I should mention that I'm in the process of trying to buy a house. In a bit of a holding pattern right now because I don't know exactly when the appraisal I ordered is scheduled to happen or what its result will be. But this has been why I've slowed down...
Also, just distributed gold. Forgot to do that. If anyone is curious, you guys are at...
