Tribal Combinations

Hello,

I would like to know which of the different magic tribes interact with each other. For example, I already know that ogres and demons have some combos, ogres enabling demons, making them cheaper to cast, etc. In the Kaldheim preview, I saw that the dwarves will also interact with dragons.

Are there any other tribes, which interact with each other in this way?

I haven’t done it in a while, but when I get going on a project like this I always start with a wide-open search (on your favorite site) for dwarves or whatever, and then read your way trough every card. It sounds terrible, but you get a really good feel for both the themes and mechanics. That’s where a lot of my theme decks come from. Honestly, many of the searches were only limited by “not [whatever color isn’t on the commander]” so that I would also see whatever weird lands or artifacts that I would otherwise forget. It’s a big bite to chew through, but it’s totally worth it.

There are multiple of these missing link creatures from Lorwyn and Eventide. There will propably more of them in Kaldheim. Next, there are Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame. You can combine most of the big sea creatures into one deck, and then there are Saproling and Fungus creatures. Also, Lovisa Coldeyes is a great multi lord.

That are my ideas for now. I hope it helps.

seshiro_of_the_orochi raises a really good point, that I totally forgot. I always think of tribes as creature types like dwarves and homarids, but shaman/warrior/pirate/etc will produce a much broader spectrum of colors and abilities! A really good plan!
