Hard to choose just one card, but I think it has to be Balance. It's among the most broken cards printed and I really have to wonder if the creators really thought it was balanced. I mean, if you set it up, you get Armageddon, Wrath of God, and Mind Twist for two mana. It's just insane.

Well what about a forested mountain? A Taiga, perhaps? Or a swampy, flooded forest, aka Bayou? What would live in these places? Maybe red-aligned elves or green-aligned ogres in the first case and black-aligned elves or green-aligned horrors in the second. The five basic lands don't cover everything that occurs in nature, so I would expect that some environments will be a mix of types and therefore cause multicolored tribal members to exist. I think multicolored elves, dwarves, goblins, ogres, giants, merfolk, etc. make perfect sense. Take a goblin, train him as a disciplined soldier, and you get a RW goblin. In most of the cases we are discussing, the tribal members have a brain and freewill. An individual elf can decide that the study of magic is more important to her than preserving the forests, so she ends up as a UG elf wizard.
As far as dual racial types, this is pretty common in modern fantasy literature and games. When you factor magic into the equations these things become possible. If a merfolk wizard changed himself into an elf and then became intimate with an elf, why wouldn't the child be a merfolk elf?
Lastly, if you don't enjoy multicolored tribal, don't play it. Find the good monocolored tribal cards in Lorwyn and play those. Let the rest of us enjoy our GW elf soldiers and RB zombie shamans.

Umm, maybe I'm ignorant of the tech involved, but what is a Hierarch doing in Collett's list? There is no source of white mana and not way to play it from the 'yard. Is that a mistake?

I love Groundbreaker, but I would worry that you are not going to have GGG on turn 3 when he's best to cast. Also, why no Tarmagoyf? No love for Char? I'd cut the Fires since you have some hasty guys already. I'd also try to squeeze in Giant Solifuge in main or board. He's the bomb after a Wrath.
