It’s Make a Stand for a full mana cheaper, provided you’re committed to a single creature type. It’s still a relevant tribal card, granting mass protection and a power bump to all creatures of your selected type. And They Shall Know No FearĪnd They Shall Know No Fear might just be #1 if this were a “coolest names in Magic” list. It triggers on ETB and death, but eating cards from your own graveyard isn’t something you usually want to do. Resplendent Marshal is at its best in an angel or warrior deck, but its ability isn’t tied to those creature types. Either way, these cards should fit nearly any deck with a strong tribal focus. These tribal cards serve one of two purposes: they’re either payoffs for focusing on a single creature type, or enable getting more of that type of creature on board. There’s plenty of type-specific support like Conspicuous Snoop or Lord of Atlantis, but we’re looking at universal effects that aren’t tied to any one creature type. These are the support cards that slot into pretty much any tribal deck regardless of what creature type it’s focused on. This list includes generic tribal pieces.

Some players might refer to a deck designed to wrath the board every turn as “board wipe tribal.” We’re sticking with the creature-type focus today. For example, a deck with a central elf theme can be called an “elf tribal deck.” Some players take it even further and use the term to describe any deck with a single central theme. Tribal is mostly used in relation to creature types. It’s been adopted as a slang term most commonly used to mean a card is “thematic” or supports a specific type of card.

The word in MTG originates from the card type that was introduced in Future Sight, but has since been abandoned by R&D. Tribal cards are ones that support a specific creature type. Herald's Horn | Illustration by Jason Felix Invasion of New Capenna / Holy Frazzle-Cannon
