I'm relatively new to magic and I've been enjoying all the various tribes/types/groups/themes you can build around. I like that you can build a cat deck or a dragon deck or a crab deck or an angel deck or a vehicle deck and all work with lots of options. What's your favourite theme and what are some of your favourite cards for that theme?

Agreed, themes of all kinds can be fun! And I'm loving everyone's themes here. Most of my decks have a theme, though sometimes I sacrifice it for a little performance.

My three current favorites:

Unionize : colorless, Assembly Worker tribal (took me a while to get that to work right! In particular [[Foundry Inspector]] + [[Self Assembler]] is fun)
Red Wedding : black/red, vampire tribal with [[Edgar, Charmed Groom]] and [[Olivia, Crimson Bride]] (with almost all wedding themed cards)
Ballroom Blitz : black/red, blitz ability aggro with graveyard return... basically "dancing" the cards between hand, graveyard, and battlefield (not the most efficient but pretty fun and efficient!)
