Tribes Contest Entry

[Captain Caveman]

I'm not sure I understand what your asking but here is the rule
covering what I think your asking.



The only weird declination that is not allowed is
the denial of a tribe or the name of a tribe that
is also a game rule. Examples of both rules:
Juggernaut, with its ability not to be able to be
blocked by walls, isn’t a Wall card — and neither
is Unnatural Selection, which mentions non-wall
somewhere. And where Nether Shadow is a viable
Shadow tribe card, Soltari Lancer isn’t, as the
Shadow word on that card is the name of a game
rule.

Hope that helped.

 

[Darkstar]

ya that helps... i was gonna build a soltari/dauthi deck or something like that...

Can we edit the deck we made then?

 

[train]

Edit or post another one I would believe...

I got this decklist in a PM. He never posted the deck,.. so I will.
Its a few cards short of 90 but its a fun idea that needs to be
posted. Goblin Game, if you check this thread please add a
few cards to make it legal for the contest. (I think its six or seven
cards short but I may have miscounted)

I'm confused...

Are the Kobolds are cute...

Or is Jigglypuff???...

 

[WickedBoy6]

I can't find the rules for constructing a Tribes deck. Anyone know the thread?

 

[Spiderman]

Check the front page update from Dec. 23. It has all the links you should need.

Tribe's Contest?
Would anyone be interested in a Tribe's deck-building contest?

With all the Onslaught tribal card I thought it might be kind of
fun. I've been working on a few myself but its a lot more
interesting to see what other people come up with.

If there are a few people interested I can offer some type of
foil prize to the winner. Probably not much but its something.

I can set up an end date and we can judge it like we've done
in the past. Everyone votes for their favorite deck and the
one with the most votes would be considered the winer.

For anyone interested in this idea you can do a search under
may name, in the decks section, and find the complete
deck-building rules.


The basic rules in a nutshell:

Play with at least ninety cards in your deck,
and with at least 30 tribe cards.

A minimum of 25 tribe creatures must be in your
deck.

Each non-basic land card may only be played
once, except for tribe cards.

Creatures that are not of your tribe are banned.


Color hosers are out of the question. The
definition of a color hoser used for this rule is:
A card that benefits from the existence of more
than one other card of a certain color or type.
Good examples of hosers are Flashfires, Perish,
Crackdown, and Compost. Hosing abilities imbued in
creatures or lands just cannot be activated. So a
Northern Paladin looks to the North, my son, and
only finds himself to be an overcosted Hill Giant.


Tribe hosers are out of the question. You
thought Tivadar’s Crusade would be the nuts? You
thought Spike Cannibal would be les noisettes? You
thought Suleiman's Legacy would be die Nüssen?
That Extinction would be de nootjes? That Tsabo’s
Decree would be przypis? Well, you can take your
tasty crunchy snacks somewhere else, for those
kind of cards are all banned, as is the following
list of cards:

Ashnod’s Altar
Balance
Celestial Convergence
Channel
Chaos Orb
Coat of Arms
Conspiracy
Demonic Tutor
Doomsday
Divine Intervention
Earthcraft
Falling Star
Goblin Bombardment
Limited Resources
Mind Over Matter
Mind Twist
Memory Jar
Phyrexian Altar
Portcullis
Planar Portal
Price of Progress
Primal Order
Regrowth
Reins of Power
Shaharazad
Strip Mine
Thieves' Auction
Time Walk
Unnatural Selection

I am much cuter than any of those smelly, dirty Kobolds. Look at my pretty blue eyes and my cute pink skin. Now look at their ugly brown eyes and filthy brown fur. The answer is obvious.

And I will also post my tribal deck, even though it is not very original and is also not very good.

Not bad Puff...

It looks feasible for play...

 

[WickedBoy6]

Well, here's my piss-poor Tribes entry, now that I read the roles. It's quite unfeesable in real life to construct, and is probably illegal in many tournaments, but I tried. I'm just suprised no one tried to construct this tribe sooner.

Whats the deal with cats?


I'm a little surprised that we haven't seen many of the themes
from Odyssey and Onslaught.

Cleric
Beast
Elf
Zombie
Wizard



...and there are so many Tribes to consider.(ya, I've spent
to much time on this).....Sorry, I'm in Tribes mode.

Minion
Nomad
Merfolk
Merc'
Elephant
Kavu
Treefolk
Griffin
Rebel
Giant
Shade
Squirrel(I think)
Rat
Gorilla/monkey "planet of the Apes"
Centaur
Bird
Bear
Wolf
Snake
Vampire
Minotaur
Illusion
Wurm
Elemental

 

[Darkstar]

hey capn... i edited my dragon deck cuz i didnt know it had to be 90 cards... its now legal i think

 

[WickedBoy6]

I am a bit suprised as a few creature types did not get a nod in Tribes as of yet, though there's still two more days. If I can, I hope I can submit either Merc's, Kavus, Vamps, Minotaurs (I had a SICK Minotaur deck when Homelands came out), Wurm, or Elemental.

Shame Kobolds couldn't be a deck, but with only 6 Koolds & 4-of-each, they don't cover the At-Least-25 rule. A lot of those red X spells would've been great for that deck, too, as half of the Kobold pack costed 0 to cast.

By the way...YAY! My 100th post! Even though I was gone for two weeks, I think that's pretty good of me to get to 100.

_Sticky fins_

4x Lord of Atlantis
4x Seahunter
4x Rootwater Matriarch
4x Seasinger
4x Tidal Warrior
4x Merfolk Looter
1x Rootwater Shaman
1x Rootwater Thief
1x Darting Merfolk
1x Rootwater Hunter
1x Merfolk Traders
1x Tidal Courier

Control Magic
Treachery
Persuasion
Bribery
Dominate
Ray of Command
Cultural Exchange

Curiosity
Unstable Mutation
Shimmering Wings
Invisibility
Psionic Gift
Anti-Magic Aura
Stupefying Touch
Mistform Mask

Counterspell
Force of Will
Forbid
Exclude
Misdirection

Capsize
Repulse
Upheaval

34x Island
Quicksand
Wasteland
Dust Bowl

***

Should I justify anything? The deck is made to be fun in multiplayer games with a lot of creatures to steal, which is what Tribes provides. Tidal Warrior helps Seasinger and your islandwalking 'folk, and the creature enchantments help Rootwater Matriarch (with Rootwater Shaman adding to the fun). The one-of fish provide a little bit of utility.

If Mistform Mask is deemed illegal for the format...which is possible, since Unnatural Selection is banned (although US has potential for more abuse)...then the Mask can be replaced by Ghostly Wings. Mistform Mask has a lot of potential for fun Tribes situations, though.

And in closing: Don't let 'em take Merfolk away from us! However useless it may be to try, let WotC know if you like Fish!
