HiLooking to brew my first deck out of scratch and I want it to be tribal
I have access to all the cards of the 4 tribal precon, but I don't want to build any of them (So no dragons/vampire/cats/Wizards)
I'm looking for a tribe with either description
Only have 2 restrictions 1. Tribal suggestions only (tech in a few none tribal creatures is fine)
Between 2 and 3 colors only (1 color is easily locked down and mana base for a 4-5 color deck is to expensive for me
Description 1:Cheap creature with easy rebuilding mechanism after wraths and for early game presences (I don't mind a few combo but mainly aggression here)
Description 2:Controlling the field, hand and deck.Cards like Oona, Queen of the Fae and Traumatize as an example. Or milling myself and reanimate huge creatures
For tribal aggro:
Goblins (red, red/black, red/white, red/green, red/green/black (Shattergang Brothers for board control).
elves - red/green, mono green, green/blue, green/white, green/black (so many options).
zombies (usually has recursive things so wraths that send to yard wont slow it down much. The Scarab God seems to work.

Naya Beasts is possible.
Allies can work, I'm partial to Esper or Abzan if doing only 3 colors. Alternately, you could run General Tazri with only three colors of spells/creatures and have a few lands &/or mana rocks for the last two colors just to power his ability. Command Tower, Commander's Sphere, Chromatic Lantern, Exotic Orchard....all cards you might be running with three colors anyway.
Boros Angels, but heavily reliant on artifacts for card draw and ramp.
Azorius or Esper Merfolk. For a while at the LGS there was a guy with a Sygg, River Guide Voltron/tribal that was pretty annoying.
After that (and the ones already mentioned) it gets spotty. Sure you can do Rakdos minotaurs or Dimir Or Sultai faeries, but why?

Cleric based Athreos, God of Passage built around extort with life-loss and life-gain. Social Extortion as an example.
