Altar of the Goyf

Kindred Artifact — Lhurgoyf

Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, it gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of card types among cards in all graveyards.

Lhurgoyf creatures you control have trample.

First, a mini-primer for anyone who wants it: Tribal was both a card type (Tarfire, Not of this World) and a descriptor of decks and themes based around a creature type, and is no longer in official use. Kindred took on the role of the card type (Altar of the Goyf, Demonic Covenant), and Typal became the descriptor (this article is about Demon typal themes).

Thinking about the Demon/Angel contrast, there are a lot more cards that hit the "fallen angel" archetype than the "ascended demon" archetype. Looking at color identity and discounting the non-M:tG-canon WH40K cards, there are more non- Angels (17, and most of them are or ) than non- Demons (9, and all but one of them are ). Similarly, there are 7 Demons that include in their color identity, and 28 Angels that have a color identity. Why is the "ascended demon" archetype so unusual? Corruption is more evocative than redemption?

I've already made changes copying some of your stuff lol. The moment I saw her I just thought of changelings and couldn't resist. Is there a reason you don't use hermit druid? I'm also trying to fit in Altar of the Goyf and Terravore
