Deeproot Waters

Ixalan Tribal Dynamics

Ixalan definitely feels as though it would have gained from having the tribal card type (or conversely suffers for its loss, given how the Limited format has been received at least by commentators and pros). Relevant, balanced Limited interactions like using Siren's Ruse to equip Pirate's Cutlass, Deeproot Waters triggering off noncreature cards (and noncreature incentives to play Deeproot Champion) etc. Nothing much like the Lorwyn Merfolk 'control' archetype seems possible, which is a shame.

Innistrad is the set where we abandoned Tribal. The set has tribal components and using Tribal just barely mattered. It’s easy to focus on the 5% that works and skip the 95% that doesn’t.
