Where has all the Tribal gone?
Brad Nelson Punishing Jund annihilated all the creature matchups, making this a combo format right now. We’ll see the Tribal decks start to trickle in in the coming months. 
Shaheen Soorani I don’t think Tribal is very good to begin with. It’s worse than the combo decks and the control decks manning Jace, the Mind Sculptor. 
Todd Anderson Tribal decks are traditionally bad against Combo. 
Brian Braun-Duin Engineered Plague saw a big rise in sideboard play, but it’s good to note that Elves has put up some solid finishes in recent weeks. 
Jarvis Yu The Tribal decks are sort of draw dependent, and I think that the dominance of the Miracles decks has pushed them out. Specifically, Merfolk has a lot of trouble now that Supreme Verdict and Terminus are around and forced them out of the metagame. 
David McDarby Combo is happening, that’s what’s happening! Do you want me to Tell you… or Show you? 
Jesse Snyder I don’t know! I’d like to see more Tribal. I started getting into Magic seriously around Onslaught, so Tribal is in my blood. I’d like to see more Tribal decks. 
Richard Nguyen I think they were just outclassed. Max Tietze won an Invitational with Goblins once, but it’s so draw dependent. The Miracle deck has Terminus and Counter-Top. It couldn’t stay on top. |
