  ehh, not my best. Wouldn't work too well for a Spirit deck, unless if you have some Spirit summoners
  
  EDIT: I MADE A NEW ENTRY, CHECK BELOW

  Oh, there are so many fun choices. I wouldn't mind more contests that engage with the lesser-used creature types. Here's my entry, for Crab tribal:

  I don't want to put Tribal as a subtype, so can I just make a tribal-themed card and put the creature type?

  @cadstar369 well that's how Tribals work
• cadstar369

  @dudedaniel I'm asking because most people on.this site put Tribal as a subtype on their custom cards (as you can see in some of the entries), even though Tribal is actually a supertype.

  How about some Homarids?

  This is for a set I'm working on. It lacks the tribal sub type but hope its ok.

  Knights are common enough as a recurring type, but have very little tribal synergy, so I thought it was time to fix that:

  As a bonus, he makes a great commander.

  Kind of a fun card
  Enjoy!

  @cadstar369 @Expansion_Smith You don't need to have the tribal subtype for noncreature cards, mostly because MTGCardsmith does not yet provide that. As long as the card has a tribal effect, it is totally fine.

  Shades don't get any attention...
  http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/shade-of-riserya
  
  I'll probably make Shades more of a tribe in my set, but this isn't my main submission. Here's mine, which uses Riggers:

  I've always envisioned contraptions to be artifacts which, by themselves do nothing, However, they can be tapped or sacrificed by using abilities on other cards. I also made Arkanus to go well with the card it betrayed:

  Sorry for all the really long explanations, by the way!

  Too good, if this replaces my previous entry, so be it!
  
  BTW, this is WEIRD creature tribal.

  Crap! For some reasons i thought it was a two entries challenge instead of one I've done Cat tribal on two different cards. For the challenge i'm going to submit this one in this case :
  
  Leodrinas Sentinel: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/leodrinas-sentinel
  
  Feel free to check my cat tribal land for fun, i put a link in the comments of Leodrinas Sentinel

  @TurkeyAsylum - I love shades, and I would love to make a tribal shade deck. The problem is that the Shade mechanic is zero-sum and inherently anti-tribal. It would be cool to print some cards that could fix that though!

  @Dudedaniel
  
  That isn't how "tribal" works - "Tribal" goes before the actual card type, aka "Tribal Instant - Cat", rather than "Instant - Tribal Cat"
  
  Reference cards: Militia's Pride, Crib Swap and many many others

  @Grimshac - I'm guessing he did it that way because the site doesn't offer the tribal type

  how about Soldiers? they are a creature type.
  
  Unity of Service
  1ww
  tribal instant-soldier
  Each soldier creature you control gets +1/+1 for each other soldier creature you control until end of turn.

  Remember them from tarkir?

  @fabiocbinbutter I'm sure there are ways to capitalize on the 'shade' ability.

  No more obscure tribe than that of NAMELESS RACE! (1 card total)
  Here's its tribal card: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/conferrer-of-obscurity
  
  Edit: formerly listed as Nameless ones which was not the correct one. Mayhaps, this will provide better perspective on my entry.

  @DomriKade , It's a start, but it doesn't really change the zero-sum aspect of the mechanic, just doubles the strength of it in general. If I had this shade and a second creature, I would still prefer to have a non-shade as my second creature rather than a second shade.
• DomriKade

  @fabiocbinbutter I don't want to clutter this thread, but I see what you're saying. There's probably a clever way to remove the "until end of turn" clause on the Shades to make the effect more viable long term... but even then it's just a P/T boost. I'll yield!

  Since this contest has been very popular I am going to do two things: one, extend it a week. Two, there will be ten winners, ranked.
  FIRST PLACE: 10 faves
  Second place: 3 faves
  Third place: 1 fave
  Fourth-tenth places: no faves except on the winning cards, they still get on the trophy.
