I just put wort boggart auntie back together and love playing the deck as much as I used to. It got me thinking about other tribes and I've been browsing old threads for ideas.
So for those of you who rock tribal, what card do you want elsewhere and why?
I'd love a goblin dark confidant or graveborn muse but anger should totally have been a goblin.
Because it's not already borderline busted as it is, haha.

This is why I started playing magic in the first place. It wasn't PT aspirations just making noobs cry by doing things that are perfectly fair.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Funniest tribal movement. Xenograft and Turntimber Ranger. Ever wished your wolves token were allies? Then now you have it. Or rather, you have thousands of ally wolves.

Casual crazy magic player, otaku maniac, unrully cosplayer, what did you expect me to be?

I just think they need to print more Changelings altogether.

Herald is so much worse than Matron though because it finds the creature when it dies rather than when it enters, which is pretty annoying when green is one of the colors that's least likely to sacrifice its own creatures, and your opponents aren't going to want to kill it for you. Also Messenger is the Elf equivalent of Goblin Ringleader, not Recruiter. Messenger is still a strong card, but tutoring any number of creatures to the top of your library is vastly stronger than getting some from the top 4 into your hand. Coincidentally, they actually work quite well together, and I often see Ringleader as the first thing found by a Recruiter.
I want a Dragonspeaker Shaman for angels. A cleric in W would work. But no, that stupid bird wizard in U to reduce the cost of flying creatures is all they give me. Ugh.
I'd say Divinity of Pride and friends should be gods first. I mean, half of them have names indicating a divine nature (divinity, deity, deus...)

Would also be nice if Axebane Guardian were a wall.

Conspiracy, Xenograft.
For added lulz, play this with Elvish Aberration for infinite mana. You also can then Pack Hunt to get a bunch of 4/4 elves, and draw a card off every last one of them.
I think I may have a deck idea now.

Wirewood Herald and Sylvan Messenger do exist*.
It's not awkward at all when you consider the card's name is Karona, False God. False, as in not actually a god.
*Edit: While it's true that Sylvan Messenger does in fact exist, DTrain was speaking of Goblin Recruiter, not Goblin Ringleader. My mistake.

StaffWotC keeps taunting me with things like Scion of Vitu-Ghazi, who can't be flickered, and Ornitharch, who they'll just pay tribute on.

While I wouldn't mind Changelings, I think they need to print more Ninjas.
Where is the NINJA TURTLE?!?
Actually, can we consider Arcane spells to be Tribal? Because I would LOOOOOVE some more of those.
