Huh, wasn't expecting an Aetherborn lord. There are a handful of strong and playable ones but I really don't think a tribal deck will work anywhere outside of casual games.
Huh. At first I was like a lord for a creature type that's only existed for one expansion, doesn't have many playables and is unique to the plane of Kaladesh? And it's a hill giant? Yuck. But then I read that ability, and thought of Yahenni, Undying Partisan and Vampire Nightwalk and Zulaport Cutthroat and while it might not be a good tribal lord per se, it might be an important cog piece for an aristocrats deck.
I think its great for late game card draw to keep tempo with midrange aggro, i wanna load a deck up with the best aetherborn artifacts for tempo and utility, also the lose 1 life isnt a big deal since i think you would wanna go BW for this and also B and W have life gain in it so card draw and anthem on a body sounds good to me
I still wonder why Aetherborn weren't simply made Elementals, as then this could have been a black Elemental lord and played really well with Lorwyn's Evoke creatures. It's also a pity you don't get energy for dying Aetherborn. Regardless, this should help form the basis for a Yahenni commander deck.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
This is, like, the definition of a card that's no fun in EDH. Where are you going to find enough members of this tiny tribe to fill out that 99?
Bad in Standard != good in EDH.
This is a weird Limited draft-around-me card (not even really a bomb), a potential kitchen-table casual thing, and that's about all I can say for it.
I think the rest of Aether Revolt has been so good that it's easy to forget that every set has its share of penny rares.
Since this card has an unavoidable downside, I'm not sure who it's really even *for*. The more I think about it, the more I think it's kind of awful.
Depends on your definition of "Fun". I take a lot of enjoyment out of building off the wall decks based around random tribes (insects, vedalken, mutant, horror... heck, my Prossh deck is a Kobold tribal deck). As of right now, there are 12 Aetherborn, plus 8 and/or black changelings, and 4 artifact creatures that can be set to Aetherborn (2 of which are lords). Throw in support creatures and a dash of Conspiracy, and and Aetherborn deck is definitely possible. Not necessarily GOOD, but flavorful and entertaining.

I guess it does!

The deck has a relevant earlygame lord in the shape of Metallic Mimic and a handful of effective early and midgame cards. Keeping an eye on this.
Weaponcraft Enthusiast is a miniature grave titan and Aetherborn Marauder is a build-a-baneslayer with the clear counter theme they are getting. If they get a relevant one drop it could be a thing.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun putting together my gorgon tribal Hythonia the Cruel EDH deck. It's not fantastic due to the restrictions I put on it, but it is something I can pull out when playing against newer or more casual players than my usual play group. If I play my normal decks in those situations it's usually boring and no fun for anyone involved so having a list that doesn't feel opressive against barely modified precons is nice.

Thanks! On a dare, I actually attempted to build a tribal deck in every color combination a while back, so tribal became a bit of a specialty for me. That's why I love EDH and pretty much have dropped to EDH and draft as my preferred formats. Unless you play with a cutthroat group, EDH is far and away the best format for casual fun stuff.
I fully intend to try Yahenni aetherborn tribal, but losing Contraband Kingpin hurts.

I would attempt aetherborn tribal but the con is by default changelings required

You should take a look at this thread: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/standard-type-2/standard-new-card-discussion/767163-wb-x-aether-rogue-aggro-tokens
Initially I went UB, but went with WB instead because it gives me access to more Servo token generation.

Does it matter? The most exciting cards have generally been uncommons anyway right?
