2 years ago

Aight, so here's some pauper tribal stuff you're missing out on.

Dinosaurs: Commune with Dinosaurs, Kinjalli's Caller, Pterodon Knight, Stampeding Horncrest, Sun-Crested Pterodon, Thrash of Raptors, and Knight of the Stampede.

Giants: Crush Underfoot, Elvish Handservant, Kithkin Greatheart, and Stinkdrinker Daredevil

Faeries: Spellstutter Sprite, Thieving Sprite, Faerie Trickery, Silvergill Douser, Boggart Sprite-Chaser, Violet Pall, and Latchkey Faerie

Wizards: Information Dealer, Ixidor's Will, Lavamancer's Skill, Stonybrook Banneret, Step Through, and Vedalken AEthermage

Warriors: Brighthearth Banneret, Expedition Champion, and Herald of Dromoka

Pirates: Buccaneer's Bravado, Fiery Cannonade, Headstrong Brute, and Sea Legs

Allies: Akoum Battlesinger, Bojuka Brigand, Graypelt Hunter, Halimar Excavator, Highland Berserker, Joraga Bard, Kalastria Healer, Makindi Patrol, Makindi Shieldmate, Nimana Sell-Sword, Ondu Champion, Oran-Rief Survivalist, Spawnbinder Mage, Tajuru Beastmaster, Tuktuk Grunts, Umara Raptor, and Zada's Commando

Also btw would you count the party mechanic from Zendikar Rising as semi-tribal support or nah?

Also you're missing Rogue and Elemental support, but some of said support overlaps with other tribes like Faeries, Goblins, and Warriors.

Also I'm leaving out Merfolk, Zombies, and Goblins cuz those are just a whole ass can of worms.

Ash Zealot, Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch, Battle Brawler, Bloodmark Mentor, Goblin Spymaster, Grim Initiate, Kruin Outlaw  ^Flip, Neheb, the Worthy, No-Dachi, Rakdos Ringleader, Rustrazor Butcher, Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, Splatter Thug, Viridian Claw, and Zada's Commando are the ones worth maaayayybe considering. In my opinion. Budget-permitting, of course.

No Goblin Chieftain ? I recommend using it instead of Guttersnipe and Zada's Commando . Also Lava Spike is a very cheap burn spell, good in this deck

ticked-off-squirrel: you really want to tap 2 creatures just to do 1 damage or gain 2 life? thats terrible. you should also re-read Zada's Commando. it doesnt damage creatures. also, Expedition Envoy does nothing. it has no effect.

here are a couple of suggestions for you for an ally deck:

Captain's Claws. a good ally token generator when the creature attacks, which is most likely.

Chasm Guide. why would you not give everyone haste from an ETB effect?

Zada's Commando. a great way to do cheap damage to a creature or player.

Ondu War Cleric. counterpart to Zada's Commando

Metallic Mimic. give all your allies an additional +1/+1. plus gain any ETB effects other allies would get/give.

Expedition Envoy a cheap ally creature good for scouting out what's ahead early on.

Deltis well that is for non-Ahmonket. Ahmonket commons are 10 cents. Ahmonket uncommons are 25 cents. but I think I got some Red allies I can add in to assist the Zada's Commando. I'd have to look.

Might I suggest changing the Coral Merfolk out for another ally? I know you are probably out of any good ones, but you will need them for the cohort on Zada's Commando to activate as much as possible. Coralhelm Guide may be good. I know its ability cost a bit but can still be used if it was tapped making it good for later game with burn deck so you can keep using cohort and swing with something with a decent amount of damage that is now unblockable.

Alas all of my Healer's are in my B/W Ally lifedrain deck, though I did consider them, but Zada's Commando just provided better value imo. I do like the Flameseeker suggestion, esp since card draw in red isnt as common (heh).
