It is going to look a little different but there were a few cards you mentioned that I was already going to include but I'll be adding more of them instead now, it should be a Modern deck when it's done where I can use the core of it for Commander as well but I have not given up on trying to find a way to bring it into Legacy after reading up on the Tribal Wars Legacy format but there seems to be a little confusion on how to properly build it, most I have read up on it says that 30% the deck needs to be the tribal creatures you intend to build around and there are others who say that 10 cards of the 30% need to be from the Standard set. Anyone know the real official rules to building a Tribal wars Legacy deck?
tribal wars?
wow, that's really obscure. I don't think i've ever come across anyone who plays it. it's like an 'add-on rule' for an existing card-pool (such as legacy, modern, standard etc). It's not something you tend to find people playing, and I think it was retired from MTGO in...2010? although if you've got a playgroup who does, power to you i'm sure it's buckets o' fun!
even so, the 'rules' (such as they are) for Tribal Wars is just that 30% of your deck needs to be comprised of one creature type (elf, human, knight, wizard, eldrazi, shark, squirrel, whatever). That's it. Other than that, you just use the normal rules/banlist for whatever format you're actually piggy-backing off.
so a legacy tribal wars deck just uses the legacy card pool, legacy banlist, but with the caveat that 30% of your deck needs to be the same creature type
likewise, Modern tribal wars would require that you use the Modern card pool and banlist, with the caveat that 30% of your deck needs to be, i dunno demons or slivers or whatever.
Here are the precise details for the Tribal Wars format being used on Community Super League:
1/3 of each deck must be creature cards that share a type.10 of your creature cards must be legal in Standard.The Legacy banned list is in effect.In addition, the following cards are banned: Umezawa’s Jitte, Glimpse of Nature, anything that hoses an entire tribe (like Engineered Plague), and anythign else that appears here: http://www.mtgoacademy.com/deckbuilding-rules-and-banned-restricted-lists/#10
Tribal Wars is a casual Magic format that emphasizes creature combat: A player's deck must contain a minimum of sixty cards, and one-third of every deck must be of a single creature type. No sideboards are allowed in tribal formats.
Tribal Wars is based on the Legacy format, so all cards, including promo cards, are legal, with the exeption of this banned list
These are two I have seen and are only 3 and 4 years old

I'm hoping to match Lathliss, Dragon Queen and Utvara Hellkite with Dragonlord's Servant Dragonspeaker Shaman to help reduce costs (as those two dragons are token generators of some pretty powerful dragon tokens) plus Quicksilver Amulet Trassic Egg and Cryptic Gateway with Deathrender to help too but its sounding like those may not help as much as I thought if a turn three win is common, I also wanted to match Sarkhan, Dragonsoul Planeswalker with some Proliferate cards to help speed up his "search library for any number of Dragons and put them on the battlefield" ability but it sounds like I still need to do more thinking
I'm aware of the differences between the three though I have yet to build on the mana for any of the decks yet (I have 40% of what I need for Legacy/Modern that put me back $300 so far), what I want to know is if anyone has tried the concept of switching out cards in a deck to play a different format to sort of cheapen the cost instead of building multiple separate decks.
First off I'm new to this forum but not entirely new to mtg but the last time I played competitively was back in the 90's with the odd purchase of a booster pack since then, I just recently decided to come back to mtg to find multiple new formats to play mtg and found it hard to choose just one but since I have always had a great love for dragons I decided to build a dragon Legacy deck since some of the cards I really wanted to play are not allowed in the Modern format, then a idea came to me when I noticed that only 8 or so cards would need to be switched out in order to play that deck in modern, so I continued this idea for the potential of building a Commander deck using the same cards or one of each from what will be a Legacy/Modern deck instead of building three separate decks saving me some money and allowing me to play three different mtg formats with just switching out cards for each format.
I want to know if anyone has tried this before and if so what were your thoughts on it.
P.S. I'm not trying to build super competitive decks, just something to get me a few wins and have fun killing things with dragons in different mtg formats.
