Can be any format.

For Commander decks, I have at least 5 Dragon tribal decks already and am planning to try to build a dragon tribal deck out of every possible multi-color combination plus mono-red eventually. But Slivers and Eldrazi are up there too as two of my favorite tribes to build around.

I used to love Vampires in Ixalan Standard when Arena was new.

So I got a soft spot for those

Dinosaurs, probably. I have a Gishath deck in paper and on arena and they're super fun.

I've been considering making a Gishath dinosaur tribal deck, got a list I could look at? I only have one Naya deck built (Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner equipment voltron) and wouldn't mind building a second.

Sure! I'm still in the process of upgrading it so this isn't the most optimized list in the world, but it's still run really well so far. Naya is one of my favorite color combos because I just love creature decks.

I also have a Historic Brawl list for arena that's a bit more optimized, here, for some more ideas for cards, disregarding budget.

Wizards! The more more popular but non-niche tribes all kind of get stuck in their respective lanes of "mana, tokens, anthems" for elves, "tokens, sacrifice, damage" for goblins, "big flyer" for dragons and so on but Wizards resist such classification.

My favorite thing about Wizards is the versatility. You could be aiming for lots of creatures or just a few, a lot of small spells or a few big ones, interacting with the battlefield, everyone's hands, graveyards, anywhere.

At any given moment you could be doing anything or responding in any way.

My favorite tribal decks before I took my EDH decks apart were vampires and dragons. Vampires for the aesthetic + flavor and having enough to go deep on the tribal theme. Dragons because who doesn't want to whirlwind slam a deck full of fatties?

I'm stuck on Demons. It's challenging to keep the mana curve to a manageable level but otherwise finding it fun to play especially after the Warhammer 40k set added some additional choices.

I had a good life gain angels deck before the last rotation that i really enjoyed
