I was running out of ideas for making new decks, when I looked at some of my lesser-used Ravnica cards, and stumbled upon a creature type I haven't seen that many of... Viashino. I researched into the number of Viashino in T2, but there were only 3 different Viashino left. Now that Guildpact is on the rise to release, I checked the spoiler only to find, yep, 3 new Viashino in Guildpact. So that brings the list of Viashino to:
That means that with sufficient copies of each card, a Viashino tribal, or even competitive T2 Viashino deck is quite possible. Of course, the deck will have to be R/G, since Burning-Tree Bloodscale and Ghor-Clan Bloodscale require green mana to effectively use(or in Burning-Trees case, even play). Since the Viashino alone probably won't kill, I figure burn spells and beef for creatures will be used. And considering that also, there should be plenty more kill conditions for the deck once Guildpact is released. I will contemplate on this and try to come up with a deck listing, but right now, I don't have the time.
yeah, but what you get for having all viashinos deck. there is no viashino lord or sumthing like that

The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.
Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose.
If there was even a legendary viashino, then you could at least break out a Banner to improve them. Maybe Rakados will have the 2nd man be a via and perhaps add some usefulness
Theres a bunch of older Viashino. Still not good enough for an easy deck, but interesting. Just look up the creature type "Viashino" on SCG or The Gatherer or something. It's a decent type overall.

You don't need a 'lord' to make a creature type good. (You need Coat of Arms. Just kidding, Coat is pretty bad, in my opinion - too expensive.)
Try making a Viashino Lord, then make a whole fantasy Magic set.
Viashinica: City of Viashino
For example:
Viashimir Viashinoblood 4WG
Legendary Creature -- Viashino Warrior
White creatures get +1/+1.
Green creatures get +1/+1. T: Put a 2/2 green and white legendary Viashino creature token named Viashinoja into play.

Maybe, mirari47, people want to keep the deck in Standard.
Bloodscale Prowler is actually pretty good in certain decks/formats... such as Pauper! (Click my sig link for more info!)
A 4/2 for 2R ain't bad.
Maybe the next block will introduce the Viashino War-Chief. He'd be sweet. Give all Viashinos haste, and bounce them all back to your hand for a price!
Ronin war club is quite the piece of T2 teck (say that three times fast) for the sand stalker! Even the glitter fang becomes a creature bolt with one in play.
Bloodscale Prowler is fun in casual or constructed, but no where near tourny-worthy.
Although most cards look like that they are designed at and for constructed, limited, and casual play.
Yay, someone else from the U.N.
