Nominations for Major Upcoming Contest
Introduction and Explanation
Our benevolent benefactor, MTGCardsmith, just released a new minor update to the site. Minor update you say? What's this minor update all about? Well, it's the tribal supertype for sorceries, instants, enchantments and artifacts. Creatures have always been able to be tribal thanks to subtypes but now we can vastly expand what kind of tribal cards we make.So it is time to hold a contest. A big contest. A huge contest. I'm talking packs and premium memberships as prizes. We've got a theme, we've got an idea and now we want to hear from the community their nominations for one of the details.
The contest's theme is going to be Color War. W v U v B v R v G v C. What we need from you guys are nominations for what tribe should represent each color. Here's what the primary color breakdown looked like in the main miniblock that used tribal, Lorwyn/Morningtide:
- White - Kithkin
- Blue - Merfolk, Faeries
- Black - Goblins
- Red - Elementals, Giants
- Green - Elves, Treefolk
- Colorless - Eldrazi (as seen in Rise of the Eldrazi)
What to Post
This one is easy. All you need to do is post a color and a tribe, for example:Red, Demons
You could even mix is up and do something like:
Demons, red
We are very flexible.
That's what we want to see. You can make as many nominations for as many colors as you want. If someone beat you to posting your idea, post it anyway to show support for it. The ones that get picked wont necessarily be the ones nominated the most times but it will help decision-making.
Your post can be funny, serious, bizarre, obvious, it's all fair game.
What Not to Post
- Any of the tribes from the bulleted list above. That means no elves, merfolk, goblins, faeries, elementals, treefolk, kithkin, giants or eldrazi. Any other tribal type from MTG history (or one you come up with yourself) is fair game.
- Cards. This is not a place to show off an idea you have for a tribe. Save your good ideas for the contest, it is going to be worth it.
- Things that couldn't be real cards. The contest itself will be for realistic MTG cards so please no Jedi, no Kryptonians, no Autobots and no Devil Fruit users, to name some examples.
TL;DR
Post a tribe and a color to suggest it as the tribe to represent that color in a major upcoming contest.This discussion has been closed.

Anyway, I'm going to toss a few types out there some people may not think about any more:
Green, Centaur
You are the one using strongbelieves for a username, opening a contest with the phrase "Our lord and savior" and then calling the competition a Color War.
Also, for people that aren't totally aware and haven't caught on from some of the examples, a tribe can be a race, an organization, a profession, really anything that can be used to classify a group.
Red - Elemental
Green - Bear
Blue - Illusion
Black - Shade
Blue - Nautilus
Black - Eye
Red - Phoenix
Green - Aurochs
Colorless - Gargoyle
Eventually we need a thorough categorization and vote count from @Corwinnn or somebody so that those new to the discussion will know where we all stand.
I'll take this opportunity to say I second the motion for {c} Gargoyles.
Colorless, Gargoyles

they will automatically be aggregated in this spreadsheet

What do you say strongbelieves? Better? Or too complicated?
Wait, you are Fabio Beltramini? And what is the SA challenge?
Blue - Vedalken or Illusion
Green - Insect/Spider or Hydra
White - Angel or Spirit
Black - Dauthi or Horror
U - Pirates
B - Demons
R - Dragons
G - Gorgons
C - Gargoyles
This seems oddly familiar
WHITE- Leonin, or known as Catfolk.
BLUE- Humans. They were the more trickier race on Akora, relying on guile and cunning to get out of bad situations.
BLACK- Beasts. Horrific, cruel, powerful, and insatiable.
RED- Dragonborn. We need more races for MTG, and Dragonborns are pretty darn cool.
GREEN- Plants. Not like Treefolk, mind you. They just enjoy destroying civilization and the like.
