Hey PleasantKenobi how do you feel about Scarecrows? They are my first and favorite tribe because of how bad they were before we got all these tribal commander decks printing staples like kindred discovery. I know all the power of the deck is Reaper King, but destroying something as strong as a rhystic study by playing a 3 drop 1/1 is so much fun to me. They also have some of the best flavor text in the game as a tribe combined. Yes I only play true scarecrows, changelings are for cowards.
I’m a Wizard tribal player and I don’t think we deserve to be let off the hook here. We like to bring solitaire spellslinger combos to casual tables and call it a “silly tribal deck”.
I play Inalla wizard tribal because I want to make you play all your creatures seven times. If it bounces and says wizard, it's in. Also, you ever do 24 damage to a table with a Ghitu Journymage etb? Good times.
Ummn actually.... **pushes glasses up from tip of my nose** Elfball refers to old decks that played a bunch of mana dork elves to cast a giant Fireball. Not a metaphor for how an elves deck gets out of control once it starts rolling, like a ball. Don't you feel dumb now.
Me: Wow this video is so funny! I wonder what he will say about dragons! Vince: Your family doesn’t actually love you. Me: *holding back tears* Haha it’s so true.
as someone who have like 6 edh decks full of dragons i can confirm, they indeed compensate my insecurities, its easy to forget about bad things in life when you're beating people into pulp with a bunch of big fliers
You totally nailed it on zombies for me. Its purely sexual for me. Last week I taped a copy of noxious ghoul to the back of my wife's head. I'm so glad to know I'm not alone on this.
It's funny to me that Elf Ball gets used here to reference elves forming a ball when the original use of the term was for the elf deck that swarmed out a bunch of fast Mana and then cast fireball for 20 targeting face, hence "elf ball."
Myr are the greatest tribe in magic. How could you not love the guys who way of attacking is to gather up into a giant ball and roll over the battlefield.
On the topic of zombies I really like the idea of decayed for the reason that it makes it really easy to swarm. They are not formitable or strong, just power in numbers.
@@Hakazeyea, it'd be nice if zombies and the like regenerated if killed, but don't regenerate if you hit them with extra damage and focus on production
Ah Merfolk. I played magic a bit before llorowyn, but my blue white mill / lifegain merfolk tribal deck that I rocked during Friday night magic cemented me in to the hobby. Good times.
When hivelord came out I got the "fat pack" (like 10 booster packs a bunch of basic lands and a die all in a box forget what it's actually called) and pulled 5 hivelords from that one box. I was basically given a sign that I needed to play tribal, been building my slivers since then and trying others since then, currently doing "housepet" tribal, dogs and cats, rin and seri got my attention and I'm gonna see how it goes
Thank you for that Vampire: the Masquerade quote, I immediately shared that with my play group! "An amalgamation of Superhero, Wizard, and Monster" indeed!
I'm part of the fish community, and I'd say we're masochists: merfolk decks are underwhelming, and since the down of time we wait for relevant new merfolks to show up, but Wizards clearly doesn't give a shit.
Yeahhhhppp I always play decks ideas that suck and try to make them work. Wizards just keeps giving us medium merfolks ...maybe they know and it's their way of saying "you like that huh huh *cracks whip*"
At least you have several hundred cards to pick from... I love Myr and there are only like 40 of those and, for the most part, they haven't printed a new one in a decade
As someone who played tribal Vampires in Innistrad-RtR Standard at a decently high level... Yeah, you're right, it was probably a sex thing, but since big daddy Markov didn't exist, I had to settle for big mommy Voldaren.
There’s still a fair amount of cards for that kind of horde style. As Vince said, army of the damned exists, but Diregraf colossus stands out as a ridiculous token generator. Cryptbreaker doesn’t quite churn out tokens, but it does incentivize you having a lot of them. And Ghoulcaller Gisa will make stupid amounts of them. Vast majority of the tribe’s focus is definitely graveyard shenanigans though.
@@charliemallonee2792 There are a fair number of token generators headlined by the truest of "zombie horde" cards in Endless Ranks of the Dead, but that's not exactly what I am getting at. A lot of tribes can mass produce tokens, but the thing that makes elves unique is that "elves beget elves". Meaning that with their low cmc and mana/token abilities, one Llanowar Elf starts a chain that quickly becomes many elves, which is very zombie apocalypse like. Zombies tend to be a much slower, more grindy tribe, which is still great, but I just feel the former fits better. I am not advocating for zombies to suddenly start producing mana like elves, but I'd prefer more exponential growth cards that snowball like Endless Ranks of the Dead in favor of big mana, explosive cards like Army of the Damned. If you go watch some of the old Commander Vs. Halloween episodes they play against "The Zombie Horde" deck. That is the play style I would prefer zombies emulate.
Just wait till Secret Lair: Cars comes out where not only you will be able to play with Lightning McQueen with unique abilities, but it will also have added Car as a creature type to the game.
Favorite human deck I ever build was innistrad pure humans. No eldrazi corrupted, no werewolves…fun idea to see how well the few good people of innistrad could stand up against the rest of the worlds. Fun stuff.
Quark: You're overlooking something. Humans used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi: slavery, concentration camps, interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you... we're better. Could we see a roast video about what is a race and what is an occupation when it comes to tribes? Ex: Wizard, Cleric, Soldier, Coward, those are jobs/careers/occupations compared to Merfolk, Elf, Cat, Vedalken...
Angels have the best artwork in all of magic and is actually quite a janky tribe full of traps you learn to ignore. If its for noobs, it's a beautiful teacher.
As someone who assembled a vehicles deck yesterday, I'm offended that we can't pretend the card says "car" while I yell KACHOW whenever it's questioned.
This makes me want to play my 93/94 red/blue elemental deck again. Love to slam down my Air Elementals and Earth Elementals and try to take the game by pure force! 💪🏻
HOLY F**K do I feel called out! I literally just finished brewing and ordering a Rick, Steadfast Leader deck. I thought, "I bet he'll roast a bunch of _other_ tribes, but surely not...." 😂💀
I think MaRo has an article somewhere that says they were supposed to come back in kaladesh but they didn't want to power up the tribe so they changed all of them to other creature types. Sadge
@@jerryturgin6583 that's a shame cuz I would settle for suboptimal cards. I would take a 4 mana Banisher Priest with the rebel creature type. It would be over costed but still be an improvement.

VEHICLE SUBTYPES R A THING
@@Supsup516 it's an artifact subtype, not a creature subtype
Hay PK you have to change the cars not a tribe we got the autobots coming hahhahaaa
Vince: Are Merfolk a sex thing? Like do people get off on it?
The Professor: Plays Sygg, River Guide *bites lip
I mean... Have you seen Kiora?
nearly coughed my berocca all over my gaming PC. I would have gotten citrus steam in my eyes.
In my country sygg is really close to "Sykkii" it means pulsate :D

Listen, my Azami deck is fun. It has big sea creatures in it.
Don't look at that mind over matter. It's only there as insurance...
Once these take off in popularity Wizards will get their moment in the Vince-light.
Next time just @ me. I even got a white bordered azami for casual pods. wizards die to board wipes. if they reaolve.;)
Azami is boring but I play Aesi which is infinitely more boring so I cannot hate

The artwork on Abomination of Llanowar says otherwise. Check. Mate.
So my green X damage spells still makes it an elf all got it
Me: Wow this video is so funny! I wonder what he will say about dragons!
Vince: Your family doesn’t actually love you.

It’s okay… the cards live you, I’m almost sure of it.

Word. My first deck was a Palladia-Mors deck.
That's me except my giant flyers are bigger because they're slivers. Sliver Queen is the closest thing I'm ever gonna get to pussy
Nothing said about spirits? I get it, they're clearly the superior tribe, unroastable 😎
Fuck, he got me with Eldrazi 😩
You can't roast what is already dead

As someone who only plays Tribal decks in Pioneer, I find this greatly amusing.
I will take the exclusion of Treefolks as proof that they are indeed the best tribe.
They are a great tribe. Doran was one of my first decks.
Also no mention of Elementals, and as a Horde of Notions player, I approve.
People are surprised when they realise my mono green treefolk tribal modern deck does pretty well
Vince: *insults my favorite cards*
Me: 🤣 it's so true! do another!
Vince: *insults american biscuits*
Me: 🤨 [reaching for my pitchfork…]
He didn’t roast either of my two favorite tribes: elementals and goblins. If there’s more of this id wanna see those mentioned!
"Competitive EDH is just Legacy for cowards" got me so bad! Excellent video, as always.
Jokes on you I play both 😎
RIP Pirates not even crossing Vince's radar.
As a Sliver, Zombie, and Elf player, being hit back to back by those 3 was hilarious
Can you comfirm the ‘its a sex thing’ thing?
I'm surprised there wasn't even more specific Prof-prodding in the Merfolk section
You forgot about the best tribe zubera I guess you just couldn't comprehend their sheer magnitude of strength

Ever since his preview of the Goblins Secret Lair, Vince is contractually obligated to be nice to Gobbos.
PK: humans are the most common tribe on every plane
Lorwyn: bruh
What does PK and Wizards have in common?
They both forgot about Lorwyn
Which is why Lorwyn is the best plane.
There are 5 humans on lorwyn
Jace
Chandra
Garruk
Gideon
Lilliana
@@God-ch8lq They weren’t even part of the story in lorwyn iirc, They were supposed to be printed in the future sight
@@HomeCookinMTG Gideon wasn't even in the set. He didn't even exist until the romance novel. I think there's a joke we're missing.
If you included BEARS, one player in my playgroup would've had all his decks mentioned in this one video :D
Ayula, my queeeen, lmao
Me with my morophon birds deck:
"He didn't mention birds because that's a cool tribe....right?"
🥲
Don't worry, he didn't mention my baby Myr either...
Don’t worry he didn’t mention my beast tribe. That god they got support in onslaught. Really bad support…..
Well, if you look at win rate of Richard with birds on Commander Clash, it's a fantastic tribe. All hail Fledgling Osprey.
No one plays bird tribal competitively out of fear
Storm Crow
Myr are the greatest tribe in magic. How could you not love the guys who way of attacking is to gather up into a giant ball and roll over the battlefield.
On the topic of zombies I really like the idea of decayed for the reason that it makes it really easy to swarm. They are not formitable or strong, just power in numbers.
I've allways thought it was weird that zombie tribal wasn't about swarming or reanimation. Most of the lords just buff your dudes.
@@Hakazeyea, it'd be nice if zombies and the like regenerated if killed, but don't regenerate if you hit them with extra damage and focus on production
Elf ball actually refers to an old deck that used Elves to mana rap into a huge fireball.

Seeing Vince willfully ignore Elementals did something to me.....
He's playing hard to get. Wants you coming back for more.
Thank you for that Vampire: the Masquerade quote, I immediately shared that with my play group! "An amalgamation of Superhero, Wizard, and Monster" indeed!
That Ricky Martin card opening video was fire. I think PK should open all kinds of random ass boxes of cards.
You leave my Slivers alone, Discount Saffron Olive!
I'm a filthy casual Angel tribe player, and I love it - but I missed the counter part: Demons
As someone whose first and only commander deck right now is a dragon tribal Beatdown karrthus to be specific... I can confirm.
i miss the best tribe in magic, Goblins
Same bro
He didn’t mention [my favorite tribe]. Clearly it is the strongest best tribe confirmed [save some bread for the Kamigawa spirits]
As a man with two tribal decks, Slivers and Eldrazi, this video brings a tear to my eye.
Vince said zombies don't have a horde feeling to them while elves amass.
I'm just gonna write "elf army" on all my amass tokens now

YES! I have been saying that about the zombie tribe for years. The horde/snowball play style that elves have should've also been applied to zombies.

That is the most accurate depiction of zombie tribal that I’ve ever heard. Especially the sex part
As someone with a Tribe Tribal deck, I take this as a personal attack.
I've meant to build this for a while lol
I think the lack of a Knights tribe in this video is enough of a roast in itself

"No, no. he's got a point."
