Horseshoe Crab is a fairly dangerous card. It ain't gonna carry the creature type, but since crabs are, in fact, the best already, I suppose it doesn't need to.
@@gormold4163 An errata on Gatherer specifies that "food" still isn't a creature type but only an artifact type (thus you can't choose it with cards that require you to choose a creature type)
Serpents are part of sea creatures tribal in Commander, so they have that going for them. Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is card drawing, land ramping, fatty dropping fun time. It's a cheap Commander deck to buy too.
6:17 "but the last time we've seen was in our first trip to ravnica" Wrong - barbarians were printed the next year in Coldsnap, and got a 2nd lord in the form of Lovisa, Coldeyes
Huh, you're right. There is literally one barbarian in the set (Balduvian Warlord), and while Coldeyes is a lord, she isn't herself a barbarian! And the fact still remains it has been a super long time since we've seen barbarians.
I absolutely love these videos, you have a very calming voice and something about the old cards and the nuggets of history surrounding them really puts me in a cozy mood ready for bed. Thank you from a long time sub who’s going through your older content!
The sad part is that serpent is such a flavorful idea but had been completely ignored when it comes to making usable serpent cards, at least until Koma and Yorion came along.
Zuberi was one of my biggest frustrations as a young Magic player. It was one of the first rares I got, and I wanted really bad to make a Griffin deck work, but most Griffins, at least at the time, were 4 mana 2/2 fliers, so it was impossible to build a decent deck. On the plus side, it helped me to learn about the importance of curving out...
So, just for some of my guesses: Goblins: common tribe, and there's almost always one or two in whatever flavor of mono-red rush is up at the moment. Zombies: a lot of tribal support here. Like, and absolutely massive ton. Clerics: common white tribe, will probably get some points just for incidentally being on a card. Wizards: tend to have active abilities that make them go very well in whatever blue combo deck you want. Eldrazi: while less common and supported that others, these guys absolutely defined a metas for a while. Merfolk: these guys got a couple different sets of tribal support. Elves: Both common to just be incidentally on a good card, and a tribe with absolute boat-loads of support. Warrior: common incidental type. Druid: very frequently shows up on whatever dork of the moment is popular. Shaman: unless it's one of these.
Fungus at #2 really surprised me. Fungi are a key piece of many saproling EDH decks. The inherent weakness of the tribe is overcome through proliferate and other counter-adding mechanics. Both Ghave and Slimefoot are powerful fungus tribal generals that can easily go infinite/threaten huge board states.
I got my start in magic when one of my friends sold me all of his blue cards for 5 dollars. I thought(and honestly still think, though only because it led to so much fun) I got a great deal, turns out half the pile was useless-ass serpents! It's all good, though. They mostly blocked while the FIVE prodigal sorcerers in the deck pinged people to death.
I'm willing to bet that Shapeshifters will make it on the Best Creature Types list. I believe Changelings and Clone-like effects are prevalent enough to stick.
Ogre Battledriver is an insanely good ogre, he pumps your creatures +2/+0 when ever they ETB and gives them haste, I use it in my Krenko, Mob Boss commander deck, but I guess he's one off the exceptions to this list. Despite this, Rebel tribal is a bit of a meme in the EDH community, it is very casual. it's like bear tribal, just less fun. the new bear general makes it fun to build a bear tribal for EDH
Totally expected serpents. Most of them cost more than their stats, and have a downside. But honestly, I'm glad that plant didn't end up on here because I have a plant tribal commander deck in the works
For best creature types in 10th,9th, or 8th I think we are going to have vampires, spirits and zombies somewhat in that order since there’s a good amount of support for them in innistrad and zombies being a thing for while. Hell, spirits have a alright control deck. But for the top 3 it most likely going to be humans, elves and eldrazi
I just finished building a fungus tribal commander last week (stuff it full of proliferate and a doubling season, spores for days!) and a reaper king deck last night. Way to be a total gutpunch, dawg.
I disagree with fungus. I can tear people apart with my fungus deck. The problem is when fungi were going around there were just better decks to make with those sets.
My Reaper King commander deck makes my enemies dread the word scarecrow. They were obviously destined for EDH so I don't care if they made the list for other formats.😂
@@felipelombaferreira5423 I personally run only 4 true Scarecrows. Wild-Field Scarecrow and Scaretiller for ramp, Scuttlemutt for mana fixing, and Scarecrone for value. There are also a lot of Changelings that provide some kind of value. Changeling Berserker, Changeling Hero and Changeling Titan have decent statlines and champion a creature, so if they are removed, the championed creature hits the field again, triggering the King a second time. Irregular Cohort comes with a built-in second body, triggering the King twice. Graveshifter, Masked Vandal, Orvar are always value, etc. I also run a bunch of clones in this deck, who in a pinch can copy our other changelings, though the dream of the deck is to create an army of Reaper Kings and absolutely shred the field. To this end, the deck runs Mirror Gallery, Mirror Box and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces to negate the legend rule, Sakashima the Impostor, Spark Double, Helm of the Host and Echoing Equation to get around it, and a bunch of other more traditional clones. We also want Molten Echoes, Reflections of Littjara and Necroduality (works with Changelings) to double our number of creatures hitting the field, and thus our King triggers. Any effects that phase creatures out, such as Ephemerate, Ghostway, Ghostly Flicker, Eerie Interlude, etc. are super value in this deck since they can save the team *and* trigger the King again as they come back. Yarok and Panharmonicon double your King triggers.
When i first started playing mtg, me and my cousin both picked the tribes we liked best. I picked kavu, and my cousin picked aven... It wasn't fair lol. I got access to flame tongue kavu, and other red and green kavus who came together to make a pretty good agro deck. My cousin got 5 mana 1/4 flyers.. I want avens to make this list but they probably won't...
Aven isn't actually a creature type though, they're all Bird-something or other. And there are some very cool birds that have seen and will continue to see tournament play. :)
this video needs a rework now that we have more samurais , the new zendikar crabs and ikoria, a few new ogres, a few new fungi, and one serpent in standard rn doing well
Back in Time Spiral block I had a fungus deck the could go infinite by turn four with intruder alarm and sprout swarm. Was a ton of fun, not very good though.
I figured that Homarid, Orc, and Kobold would be on the list. Kobolds even had some tribal support from the earliest days of magic. But I'd have to say that Zombie is my favorite tribe to play
Kobolds? I don't know about competitive formats, but Prossh and Kher Keep are pretty ok in commander, and they'd probably factor in as they produce kobolds. Also there have been some pretty good Orcs, like that executioner guy who was a functional reprint of Fleshbag Marauder.
So happy none of my tribal decks are on there. I've always been a fan of simple aggro tribal and as such I was wondering where Minotaurs, Hydras, Beasts, and Krakens/Leviathans ended up when you crunched the numbers?
my favorite fun card is a serpent, though wish it wasn't so expensive, but it was really powerful in the right combinations, tolarian serpent :> I would love to see it brought back for mill decks. Used it with gaea's blessing and tefrri's puzzle box to try to make sure I always had cards in my hand, tried to combo it with bazaar of wonders and gaea's blessing to slowly limit what my opponent could do for spells.
Isn't there a 5/5 hexproof with cycling in Living End for modern ? I think he would probably be the first serpent to gain points. While Pauper is now supported, there are still no GP or PT to give Gearseeker some score.
actually the distinction between mercenaries and rebels is true to meaning of those words. You goal is to win a conflict, mercenaries only fight for money and they don't really work well together. Rebels on the other hand start out small a few here and there but soon more join and then bigger and better ones. While mercenaries are bad I think Wizards did a great job of capturing their essence.
Scarecrows have the scattlemut, that creature is totally beautiful & highly essential for my monoblack slaughter deck, also the awesome pili-pala can generate unlimited mana, very powerful in the right deck. Plus theres an interesting scarecrow that has a built in ability for opponants flying creatures to get -1-0 which is nice, yeah dont underestimate the scarecrows they have some hidden gems.
Looking forward to a revist of this list. Ruin Crab didn't exist yet and that card was everywhere for a year and change including 2 world championship wuns
Gearseeker Serpent is pretty good in Pauper, where Affinity decks often run it as a late game mana sink, so if we somehow manage to get a Pauper GP or Mythic Championship, I could definitely see that one putting up some points.
My deck is entirely artifact creatures construct,Artifact vehicles. And some good instants to go along. And some light mana 30 light plains to be exact.
I agree that Serpants should be agressively costed sideboard tech. "Oh, you have Islands too? Well, here is my 5/4 for UU or 1UU that cannit attack or block unles you have an island."
Mycoloth is an insane beast in MTG 2015 Mobile (the last true MTG mobile game) though... In fact it is easily one of the top 5 cards in the whole game!
Samurai actually have a lot of playable cards. If you build mono white for example, just throw Path and Honor of the Pure and you have a strong weenie strategy.
Blasphemy! Fungus is a great creature type! Although slime stowaway sucks. You've obviously never seen a fungus deck go infinite. After you've got a few million tokens you can fog till the end of the game for mil. Or just swing
I have got 3 Fungus decks. They are so powerful. An old green one, a new green one and a multicoloured. I think Spore Flower and Fungal Bloom needs to be mentioned.
2 of my favorite creatures are Ogres. _Ogre Battledriver_ and _Wrecking Ogre_ aren't good, but they're pet cards of mine that I always have a blast playing.
So when were we on Dominaria first cause you said this is the second return to Dominaria? If someone can inform me I'd be grateful. Or does thre alpha set start with Urza was that his home ?
Given their presence in modern, it seems like human will be up there. Eldrazi also seems like a shoe in. I swear that something like elf is gonna be the top because lanowar elves and such just get dropped into decks constantly and theres always a couple good elves in standard. Combine that with legacy and modern success over the years for elfball and thats gonna put up some points fast.
@@thelunchlady8276 i just got some religious people at my door the other day. I told them i dont believe in god and gave them some water (its florida in may at this point). They asked me why i dont believe in god and i just told them an unholy strength magic card from the nineties ruined my love for the lord because it had a burning pentagram on it.
I probably will love all these creature types, saying before I watch. #10 Samurai - oh no I wish wizards could redesign and revisit kamigawa. Change the spirits up, make it a little less weird (mechanics wise) and keep away from dumb gimmicks (legendary matters, epic spells). There was a decent amount of great cards in Kamigawa but there was also too much chaff and pack filler.
In theory if you used sealock monster that would create an island in which then all sea monsters could attack. Bit of a long shot combo but it could work.
The only reason fungus aren't good anymore is because the game evolved into a speed run instead of a full scale war. I have a few fungus decks that will make people see their true power, but... they take time. I agree with everything else you're saying.
Scarecrows suck but scartiller with springleaf drum is definitely an underrated combo. Tap for 1 mana of any color and play an extra land per turn, shid

As an economist, I really appreciate your methodology. You craft really excellent tools to look through the card base and come to objective answers
I feel like most of these types have received a lot of new good additions by now. As if wizards had watched this. Except mercenaries
Kinda surprised you didn't mention the fact that rebel informer basically only got played in rebels, a deck that could cast it.

I find it funny how Lochmere Serpent and Koma completely invalidated the number one on this list
Facts
I figured that Homarid, Orc, and Kobold would be on the list. Kobolds even had some tribal support from the earliest days of magic. But I'd have to say that Zombie is my favorite tribe to play
Kobolds have seen play in Carnival of Souls combo decks, Orcs were quite good in Tarkir, and Homarids...well, I'm surprised about hat one.
There is way less Homarid cards in the game than the cut off point of 25.
Kobolds? I don't know about competitive formats, but Prossh and Kher Keep are pretty ok in commander, and they'd probably factor in as they produce kobolds. Also there have been some pretty good Orcs, like that executioner guy who was a functional reprint of Fleshbag Marauder.
Now we have lochmere serpent!!! What amazing card 😎
I had a sliver fungus deck back in the day. It was nasty and with some of the new mechanics today it would even nastier.
This was a big hit to my self-esteem.
As it should be
Some day, I'd like to see a tribal set that pushes and supports these typically draft-fodder creature types.
So happy none of my tribal decks are on there. I've always been a fan of simple aggro tribal and as such I was wondering where Minotaurs, Hydras, Beasts, and Krakens/Leviathans ended up when you crunched the numbers?

From Jehovah's wittnesses?
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior?
@@thelunchlady8276 i just got some religious people at my door the other day. I told them i dont believe in god and gave them some water (its florida in may at this point). They asked me why i dont believe in god and i just told them an unholy strength magic card from the nineties ruined my love for the lord because it had a burning pentagram on it.
@@z.s.7992 That's awesome. D&D ruined mine back in the late 80s!
Sea Monster would make more sense at 1U, 2U, or 1UU. Maybe there could even be variants that covered specific pairs of colours rather than just one.
Now that a few serpent powerhouses have dropped, I wonder if they will see any more play/ get better as a tribe.
I probably will love all these creature types, saying before I watch.
#10 Samurai - oh no
I wish wizards could redesign and revisit kamigawa. Change the spirits up, make it a little less weird (mechanics wise) and keep away from dumb gimmicks (legendary matters, epic spells). There was a decent amount of great cards in Kamigawa but there was also too much chaff and pack filler.
I've seen scarecrone pop up in vintage affinity with some regularity for a while...
In theory if you used sealock monster that would create an island in which then all sea monsters could attack. Bit of a long shot combo but it could work.
Scarecrows were meant for commander. I have a Reaper King deck myself.
While I agree on the value of a Reaper King commander, was commander even a thing when Lorwyn came out?
Not sure. But I think they were making scarecrows a commander thing weather they knew it or not.😂
I'm shocked that leviathan wasn't on here.
The shark creature type has somewhere around 2 cards but it is a creature type
3 plus sharks in art.
Shark is no longer a type, they have changed to fish
The only reason fungus aren't good anymore is because the game evolved into a speed run instead of a full scale war. I have a few fungus decks that will make people see their true power, but... they take time. I agree with everything else you're saying.
Scarecrows suck but scartiller with springleaf drum is definitely an underrated combo. Tap for 1 mana of any color and play an extra land per turn, shid
Crabs, Cyclopes and Ogres all in a row hit me too hard. I have Crab, Cyclops, Ogre, Mercenary, Fungus and Serpent tribal decks. Islandhome bois unite!
