5 Typal Decks You Didn't Know Were Awesome 

Day 3 million of youtube comments being weird asf... They didnt ask you to change to typal they just said thats what they are saying and what it means cause wizards says thats the official phrase.

Can we NOT encourage useless vocabulary changes that only serve the purpose of people who make more than 90% of Americans will see in their lifetime to "not feel as bad" and continue using the correct nomenclature for a term that literally no one that the assumed pained party of even knows, nor cares about? Seriously, its friggen pointless.

Typal makes it sound like a card type. Like hey I'm playing my enchantment typal deck. It is just clunky. I really hope wizards reverses course on that term and goes back to tribal.

Fun fact about saproling tribal. There are no (non-changeling) saproling cards. Just tokens

Tribal

Still hard saying "typal" after learning tribal. "Dragon typal matters" is so wierd

Love goblin tribal.

I love that your thumbnail is my favorite tribe :) go knights!

I REALLY hope Ixalan finally gives a 3+ color Merfolk tribal commander.

Sorry, I don’t do new speak. Still tribal😉 love the content tho

As an actual, and proud member of the Mi'kmaq tribe from Nova Scotia, I am 100% OK with people using the term "tribal"... I don't find it offensive... no rational person finds it offensive. I am a little bit concerned about Orwellian self-censoring.

I love ninja tribal

There's a lot of tribes that could be good but don't have the support they need, it's not just about making an overpowered commander but a good 15 or so cards to benefit the strategy. I'm building mono white Bushido and the mechanic would be great if 90% of the creatures weren't pure cheeks

I just refuse at this point to call it "typal." Its been triabl since i started playing magic and thats what i know it as. Why change it now?

Are they forcing you to say typal to retain your ambassador status?

you're never going to get me to stop saying Tribal. we have HATE as an archetype descriptor in this game, and it's OK. it's not a value statement.

If we're talking specific types of creatures, I'm a big fan of Goblins myself. With the right setup, that Krenko guy can create as many as infinity 1/1 goblins and I think that's just swell.

My problem with syr gwyn and commanders like her are the need to balance out creatures with the number of equiptment you need.

ill just keep saying tribal thanks

What the hell are typal decks?

U mean Tribal 😂

I'm still calling it tribal. Just like I still call it EDH. Sorry. To be fair, Grixis Wizards was quite a popular deck when the Commander 2017 decks first came out. It has just fallen out of favor more than Dragons and Vampires (or Cats, to a lesser extent) because classes are less noticeable than races when a new set comes out. As for eminence tribal commanders, I play Ur-Dragon (I don't stack my deck with a lot of cost reductions, so this is one of the few). I used to use Arahbo, but I switched to Nazahn with my focus on equipment. I never tried wizards (not a big blue player, except in 5 color decks), and I forgot about the knights when it first came out (I had been working on multiple other decks at the time). Never built Vampires, because after seeing other people's decks, I decided it was too broken to be fun. My saproling deck is four color with Tana and Ravos commanders. I had considered five colors with Morophon Fungi, but decided there wasn't enough blue (only 3 cards) for me to justify diluting the manabase more. I've been playing saprolings since Fallen Empires, so I always try to find out what new goodies come out with each new set. Every time I go to build Allies, I always find something else that I'd rather build. The problem with Elementals, and the reason they fly under the radar, is that no one can figure out which commander to build around. Everyone eventually moves on to easier builds. 🤣🤣🤣 Here are my current tribal decks: Raphael Devils (BR) Doran Walls (BGW) Rebbec & Toggo Assembly-Workers/Modular (RW) Ohabi Caleria Archers (GW) Lord Windgrace Lhurgoyfs (BRG) Sachi Shamans (G) Chatterfang Squirrels (BG) Tana & Ravos Saprolings (BRGW) Atla Palani Eggs (RGW) Ur-Dragon Legends (WUBRG) Nazahn Cats (GW) Prossh Kobolds (BRG)

Allies really surprised me, definitely going to keep that knowledge in the back of my mind til the time comes.

9:08 “He has a decent little body.” - If my lovers could leave a yelp review.

Beezy and Mia, it was great meeting you both at MagicCon!! I wish I would've had more time to jam a game with you! Hope to see a video in the coming week about your Con experience and the decks that you both brought to the event. Thanks again for all you do for the community and the Mox Amber (she/purr) :)

I've had a General Tazri ally deck since she was printed and it's one of my strongest decks

As a history undergrad, I just want to say that tribal is not an offensive word.

Would like to see them print more frog support. We have a solid handful of interesting frog legends, but not many support cards

We should stop printing magic cards that have words, symbols or artwork. It could potentially be offensive to the blind and illiterate 😢

I've helped build most of these decks with people in my playgroup. I built wizard tribal for myself and just went mono blue Azami, cause it's fun to mill myself out on turn 3 or 4. But, not to be a Nitpicking Nerd, but typal sounds more like deck types. Voltron, Super Friends or Land Destruction. These are just tribal decks like Slivers and Elves.

i have Najeela as a 5 color knight commander and i got bloodforged battle-axe in the deck which creates a token copy of its self when it damages a player and with a few extra combat turns that can amount to all my knights being armed and with puresteel paladin to make equipment cosr 0 to equip and tempered veteran to give +1 countersand bloodcrusher of khorne to give trample and haakon,stromgald scourge to replay knights from the grave yardas well as a few creatures that buff knights with more counters and indestructible and fewto add some 2/2 knight tokens . once the engine roars it becomes a army fast that is very well armed.

I love knights, came back to paper magic for them! Sidar is really strong if you're able to keep combo players at bay. I've now just finished a 1.0version of a budget Syr Gwyn deck, can't wait to play it

Typal is just an unsatisfactory word. It flops out of the mouth like a wad of phlegm. I shall stick to Tribal.

I've never heard the term typal before. I had heard that Wotc were planning to remove the tribal keyword, which seemed like an overreaction to something that I don't think had any malicious intent for players. But I'll be happy as long as they keep the mechanic in the game. As long as they don't get ridiculous and ban people in tournament's for saying the wrong word I don't see an issue. Also I love my Syr Gwyn deck!!

Loved this! How many spells do you think you need in a deck (including changelings) for it to be considered typal? I just recently updated my animar, soul of the elements deck to a Pseudo elemental typal deck and excited to see the nerds giving the type a shout out!

You’re a whole knight tribal section is just an analysis of the knight pre-con from March of the machine

Inalla is just combo madness.

Elementals mentioned!!! Omnath (the 3 color one, not locus of rage) is one of my absolute favorite decks. And you’re absolutely right, Risen Reef is a powerhouse!

Random tech card I put in my Inalla deck is Obeka, brute chronologist. When the effect to exile the tokens goes on the stack, tap Obeka and now you get to keep the token

Plus the new Moonshaker Cavalry (tho it doesn't care about knights) is also a knight :)

The issue i have with creature type based decks is that the decks basically build themselves. If you are playing a deck like that you have so many must include creatures. Its not really a challenge to build one of these decks.

So what is the communitys take on sidar jibari? I have been thinking about building him but i dislike overly powerful commanders and while he seems fair on paper, eminence still is a thing.

I have a Fungus Typal deck (it's Saprolings) with a couple different commanders in it based on the power level I want. I have Thelon of Havenwood for my most low powered version, the new Nemata, then Mazierek as my normal commander (making use of all of the sacrificing to either overwhelm the board or make Greater Good awesome), and Slimefoot as the scarier version. It's always funny though when some of my newer-to-Magic friends ask what the scariest card in the deck is and I tell them it's an uncommon 1-mana 0/2. For the sake of transparency, when asked, I try to tell my friends Utopia Mycon is probably the biggest target on my board. Only for them to take my Commander out and lose to the Mycon the next turn lol

A thing worth noting, I'm pretty sure Naban and other etb doublers won't double Inalla's eminence ability while Inalla is in the command zone, since she's not a permanent that you control at that point.

Naban is also good as a more budget version of the wizard deck. I built mine as essentially Man-o-war tribal with some of the aforementioned payoff Wizards. It would win with Displace and another wizard to overwhelm with etb effects.

I think they need to go back to the drawing board with typal, I'm more inclined to refer to something as an "[X type] deck" or [X] type deck, but I hope they find something that rolls off the tongue easier

I realy hope you make a new video on commander cube! Please 😊

Wow, we talked about Saprolings and *didn't* talk about Ghave? Typical Karador player behavior... For real though, one of my absolute favorite creature types and I'm super glad to see it get recognized at all ^_^

Im still calling it tribal. It'll always be tribal because its a tribe of one type of creature

Beezy. Didn’t you say in an older video you found it difficult to build a wizard deck finding due to the weird consistency amongst the amounts of wizards/ amount of instants and sorceries?

I don't mind changing from tribal, but typal just doesn't roll off the tongue very well

Kaza is my fav spell slinger big spell Izzey commander 🙌 so much fun and efficient too

Love to see Wizards on here. I still have your OG Balmor decklist that I’m rocking Beezy, you should do an upgrade or small deck tech video for wizards to upgrade your list 👀 I need ideas 😂

Do tribal, and typal both trigger my emrakul, or is it an errata

Elementals are definitely underrated. Ashling is a good board wipe. The cavalier of ___ cycle are also interesting little powerhouses for both knights and elementals.

The idea that tribal is offensive to those in more traditional communities is preposterous. By the definition of tribe, most people that live in a small town are “tribal”.

All my decks eventually end up being these kinda decks lol. Like mondrak reanimator ended up as a phyrexian tribal deck. Thassa etb ended up as wizards.

You left out the pet birthdays!

I have a Slimefoot the Stowaway deck and it's one of my favorites to play

Tribal. A hill I'll d13 on.

Will forever be tribal to me, never saying typal

Does this mean Roman Reigns is Typal Chief now???

Honest question.. did the change happen due to typal being PC?

If you play Malestorm Wanderer from your graveyard with Horde of Notions ability you get to cascade cascade for 5 mana instead of 8

Shame on you for not mentioning Omnath locus of the Roil as an elemental commander.

Syr Gwyn is an AMAZING cross between Knight tribal/typal and voltron.

I run Omnath, Locus of All for my 5 color landfall/Elemental deck 🤍💙🖤♥️💚

Elemental typal and no mention of Animar the House?

26:30 just add Burning Anger, or one of my favourite recent combo: Experimental Kraj + Hateflayer + Kami of Whispered Hopes: infinite mana AND damage!

There are some pretty good nobles but not much noble support. Noble tribal will be cool at some point but rn it’s just a bunch of cool lord of the ring and older cards.

I hate Azami wizard decks, but the Kaza deck seems cool.

Patron wizard is absolutely miserable in one v. one. My friends once forced me to stop making creature decks and make control. So I made patron wizard deck. If it has more wizards than u have lands ur fucked and hard locked out of the game

I play Wizards, but I use Adeliz, which wasn't mentioned. I also play Saprolings, but I use Nemata, primeval warden which also wasn't mentioned (And Tana, the bloodsower but I get why that one wasn't mentioned)

⚠️⚠️⚠️warning⚠️⚠️⚠️ This comment section is full of nerds nitpicking. Proceed with extreme caution

Aftermath Nissa didn't slip under the radar lol... It was 40-55$ immediately after release. It's only JUST recently dropped down to around 20-25$. Which is still expensive, but at least moderately reasonable. 40$+ for a glorified lotus cobra isn't remotely worth it. Now that it's around 20 bucks, it is finally somewhat worth picking up.

Timing could not have been better I was just looking up cards for a wizards deck lol

Typal Typo Tribal SchMible :P

never pile shuffle? what about people who can't handle their double-sleeved deck?

I want azami to have parter. Would be beoken but id like to dip into red or black

moonshaker cavalry is another busted knight add in

Umm excuse me, you seem to have forgotten that Syr Ginger is a Knight commander? Syr Gwyn is one of my favorite decks, but I think focusing on Knight tribal more than loading your deck with equipment works a lot better, I only run 10 equipment (one being a useless Worldslayer because I like to live dangerously) but you can cheat that number with Bloodforged Battleaxe... also Kinsbaile Cavalier is very OP :^)

Allies is something i'm currently working on. Sadly deck building burnout hit real hard and i just couldn't focus on it long enough yet. Thank you for the recommendations tho(most i probably already have in it lol)

I'll never not think that Eminence and Commander Ninjitsu are massive design mistakes.

I'll still be saying tribal, the new word sounds ridiculous.

Good lord y’all it’s tribes. Not typal. Calling it tribe in a card game is not gonna offend people, people in other countries or regions don’t give two shits about it. And if someone did get offended then it’s a problem with them, not the game.

Is there literally any other word besides typal?

i built an elemental deck with Shattergang Brothers as my commander. The whole deck is designed to sacrifice all my elementals, causing other players to sac their creatures while taking a ton of damage from Omnath, Locus of Rage and Titania, Protector of Argoth. Scapeshift mixed with these two is absolutely bonkers

I don't mind them changing it from tribal to typal, I just dont like them blaming native americans for the change.

My longest surviving deck is Samut, Voice of Dissent Naya warrior tribal and that deck is super aggressive because warriors almost all care about combat in some way

I have an Esper Knight Typal deck that I used for fun. Its really nice to have an Esper knight Commander. Now I’m building an Faerie deck and a mono white cat deck *Kemba, Kha regent*. Always love using Typal decks. I can’t seem to have fun with I’m using combo decks or creatures that isn’t the same type. :)

Ain’t no way they said typal 💀 I don’t know about you but I’m never calling tribal typal. Still good video

Tribal*

I really wanna build a Wizard deck now :o

Ill die before i say typal 😂

Wheres the other dude ? 😢

wtf is typal? why not tribal

I love building typal decks. Most of my first decks were typal. I made a Ghave Saproling/Fungus deck as my first deck. Not a very good group of creatures but my favourite! My second Typal deck was an Orzhov Human Deck that runs Ellyn Harbreeze and Haunted One (my favourite typal card). I ended up using Haunted One to build a wizard typal deck too, but haven't bought that one yet. It used Vhal and just untapped her a bunch to make my wizards butch as heck. Thanks for the episode Nerds. Really appreciate the content and you two as people.

Five underrated types, and still no shamans. 😢

Day 44 of guessing the Moxfield ad at 16:44. I see Syr Gwyn in the thumbnail 👀 definitely one of my favorite decks.

people out here trying to play magic and then pissing their pants when cards say “choose a creature type”
