Official Contest: Tribal Trouble
Hello Cardsmiths! We've recently added Tribal supertypes to custom card creation and we thought we would celebrate with a contest. Choose your tribe from the list below and create a card for it. It can be a creature or a Tribal card with one of the subtypes from our list of nominated tribes.
Post the card url and the tribe you have chosen in this thread to enter the contest. One submission per user, so make it count! Entries must be received by the end of April 24th, 2016.
You card must either be a tribal supertype card or a creature card of one the types listed above. To explain, you can make any kind of bird you want with any additional subtypes, but it must contain the subtype Bird.
Your card must be realistic, in that it can be played in a game of MTG.

=Tribes=
- White - Birds
Bird people, your standard flappy birds and all other kinds of avian spells. If it has a beak it probably counts. Many of them fly, some of them swim. Birds can be soldiers, beasts and everything in between.
- Blue - Humans
Blue humans? Sure, there are plenty of blue human cards out there, but why humans for blue? The answer is simple, pirates! Also privateers, mercenaries, navies and good old-fashion plunderers. Let's see some blue humans. - Black - Horrors
This one is pretty straight forward. Scary things. Creepy, spooky, terrifying things that may drive you mad just by looking at them.
- Red - Minotaurs
Cow people that can range from calm and intelligent philosophers to brutal, massive berserkers. Minotaurs are one of the most diverse red tribes, fitting pretty much every option red has to offer.
- Green - Centaurs
Horse people. Or horse plus people. Centaurs are an option that allows for a lot of green's beatdown synergy and utility. The buff, they ramp, they trample and more.
- Colorless - Gargoyles
Living statues made to ward off whatever might disagree with their creator or owner. Gargoyles are usually defined by their clever interactions with other cards on the battlefield and unique abilities but now as a tribe they have a chance to thrive.
Rules:
One entry per person and no re-entries, so make all corrections before entering the card! (Note: Using multiple accounts to have multiple entries will result in disqualification.)You card must either be a tribal supertype card or a creature card of one the types listed above. To explain, you can make any kind of bird you want with any additional subtypes, but it must contain the subtype Bird.
Your card must be realistic, in that it can be played in a game of MTG.

Judging:
This contest will be judged by three community members: @Corwinnn, @strongbelieves, and @Faiths_Guide. Our judges will be deciding the top 3 cards for prizes based on the criteria of cleverness, balance, fun, flavor and how well it would work with the tribe. One tribe will also be selected as an overall winner based on the quality of all of the cards entered for it combined. Judging will take from 3 to 7 days depending on the number of entries.Contest Prizes:

I have a question for the judges, since the rules don't cover it. Cards have to be tribal or of one of the creature types, but do they have to stick to the lines? That is, could I make a green Human who gave Centaurs reach and {t}: Deal 1 damage to target creature with flying (Hoof-Friend Sniper)? What about a white Bird who buffs Humans (Luckbearer Albatross)? To get right to the point: do Gargoyle entries have to be colorless? If so, it pretty harshly limits the things you can do with them that aren't artifact creatures.

And yes, gargoyles have to be colorless. And no, they don't have to be artifact creatures. Now that colorless sans-artifact is 'a thing', you can go nuts.

I hope your ok with the nightmare subtype, i was trying to lore up the card.
Right now there are at least 3 cards that look like minimal effort was put in. If you just want to enter, then that's fine, but those are the first things we see when judging a card. If you seriously want a crack at winning, take your time... remake it 27 times if you must, and THEN enter the card. Some of the most respectd card makers often remake their cards.. Tomigon, MrRansom, Grimshac, Teacup and many others, will remake a card over and over until they get it right.
Today is the 11th and you have until the 24th to enter your card, so don't rush it!
Must the cards be monocolored? I don't believe that is outlined anywhere
Nevermind. Damn shame.

(When they attack creatures, other creatures can block, just like attacking Planeswalkers. Also, they both deal damage to each other, they fight.) Please, if there is any way this won't work, or if you have any question, ask!
