      Not to mention other greats: Galena steals commanders permanently, Thada Adel and Thieving Skydiver steal artifacts, Lullmage adds reusable counterspells to Kumena's abilities, Surgespanner is a massive tempo play, Thrasios gains lands, lots of lords/+1 counters/hexproof tokens, islandwalk with Quicksilver fountain, Reef Shaman and Tideshaper Mystic to mess with lands.
      Simic has the best counter spells, ramp, and card draw. You get Force of Will, Mana Drain, Cyclonic Rift, Intruder Alarm, Rhystic Study, Heroic Intervention, Sylvan Library, Harvest Season, Gaea's Cradle, Yavimaya's Hollow, Oko and more. Explore and proliferate are great mechanics too. The tribe has incredible synergy, outclassed only by slivers, so it's definitely at least an A tier.

I have 3 or 4 tutors and will bargain with Sower of temptations... Ya know most peeps like their commanders and with various other creature bounce and removal spells. I also run things like polymorphist's jest and turn to frog etc because they're a great value out of nowhere plus my faeries are tiny little things so they need some help every now and then. I pushed my mana curve really low so I pretty much always have mana open but I don't control to be oppressive I control to make deals and get x better outcome. My sub theme is also rogue so I have a ton of cards that do silly things based on combat damage. I also run rankle so group hug comes in there and there is all types of silliness that can happen with him. I also run bitter blossom and necropotence so much of the time faeries are playing their tricks at the cost of my health lol. Of course those two cards combined with Aggro staples give a ridiculous advantage and that deck tends to stay ahead of the curve. Of course all said my faeries are rather oppressive one on one so I tend to enjoy them in groups and most in teams. My faeries have always been considered by my group to be quite formidable and some of them are afraid of them in all truth. That's also why I don't get why they ranked so low they have tons of synergy and just about every one of them has an ability for cheap. Of course, I get some of the tribes ahead of our faeries but still peeps seem to be dismissive until they play against faeries.

    Please do the next 25! That sounds really fun. Evaluating the tribes the meta maybe doesn't already have a clear opinion on. Possible candidates: Giants, dogs, myr, fish (octopus, leviathan, serpent, crabs, whatever, lol), Gods, Demons, devils, clerics, sphinx, Beast, rogues, scarecrows, Dwarves, Vehicles, Hellion, Wurms, cyclops, and Ooze.
    Personal note, please PLEASE do giants. Giants have a lot of great cards that are synergistic that recently came out in Eldraine. On top of that, Uro, Kroxa, realm cloaked giant, primeval titan, oloro, ageless ascetic, grave titan, and towering titan are all absolute BOMBS and definitely push the case for giants. Theres also a decent curve. Only weakness is picking a commander. Without playing Morophon, giants are difficult because of their lack of primary identifying colors.

    Goblins are a solid A whilst elves are S tier since you can ramp better with elves and go wide that way.

Both are weak to board wipes but in green you have heroic intervention and in a goblin deck you probably run eldrazi monument or goblin churgeon.

    I might be biased, but you guys are highly underselling Merfolk. The biggest downside is that they only have one strong commander: Kumena. But Kumena enabled a really strong strategy with his abilities to draw cards and put +1 counters on the team. Merfolk's strength lies in its versatility. There's TONS of cheap CMC merfolk with great utility abilities for almost every situation, and there's tons of lords to pump your board. Kumena wants lots of cheap merfolk so you can start drawing cards asap, those cheap merfolk all have different utility abilities to slow down/outpace your opponents, and once your board is flooded you drop your lords, pump with Kumena's third ability, and/or drop your game ending craterhoof, triumph of the hoards, or finale of devaststion.
    Pros: incredibly fun, powerful, and versatile
    Cons: only one strong commander, lots of combat math, and keeping track of +1 counters and untap triggers
    Merfolk are definitely A/B tier at least

    I never understood the hate for slivers. They were rarely relevant let alone tier one in any competitive format that i know of apart from abusing that one poison sliver.
    Anyway. i recently switched my Sliver Overlod commander to The First Sliver and oh my god, it's so much fun. Spamming voltron is what they are now. Much more fun then just shortcutting to the combo's. removed a lot of tuters too.
    Sliver at their core should be spamming out a voltron build through number of creatures instead of a single one. And i like that. I am a sucker for voltron decks if you havnt noticed. I recommend it. Although deck construction involves a lot of carddraw engines to work propper.

    The non-flying bird issue is complicated. There are technically six Commander legal birds that don't have and can't gain flying through their own effect. Coastal Hornclaw, Fledgling Osprey, Roc Egg, Roc Hatchling, and Rukh Egg are also Birds that don't have flying but instead either can gain through their own effect or create flying tokens. Including Changelings/Mistform Ultimus, there are an additional 35 creatures with the Bird type that don't have flying and an additional 4 Changelings that don't have flying but can gain it through its own abilities [Shapesharer, Mothdust Changeling, Moritte of the Frost, and Cairn Wanderer]. There are also 7 creatures [excluding Clone effects] that can be birds by choice and don't natively have flying; Adaptive Automaton, Metallic Mimic, Proteus Machine, Mistform Warchief, Mistform Wall, Mistform Stalker [which doesn't have flying but can gain it natively], and Mistform Sliver. So, in total, there are 41 Birds/Changeling Birds without flying, 9 Birds/Changeling that don't have flying but can gain it through an effect on their card, and 7 creatures without flying that can be birds by choice with native abilities. So, yes, with 57 potentially flightless birds and honorary bird things without flying, there are enough creatures to make Flightless Bird tribal, with there even being a 5 color flightless Bird to use as a commander [Morophon, which is an honorary bird thing without native flying]. Funnily enough, there are actually mutliple commanders for the archetype: Mistform Ultimus, Morophon, Moritte of the Frost, and Orvar. There are a further 10 Birds that are not Commander legal that don't have flying with two of them able to gain flying natively but not having the ability consistently. Finally, there 2 uncards that are either every creature type [which includes birds] or can become a bird [and, in this case, can choose to gain flying], with those being Dr. Julius Jumblemorph and Greater Morphling respectively.
    TL, DR; There are 57 creatures outside clones that are/can be birds that do not have flying or do not have flying unless a condition is met. 11 are just birds and 46 are either changelings or creatures that can choose to be birds through some effect.

    Weird tier list. I really feel like wizards and elves should be up in S tier (Azami is the biggest push for wizards), then move the entire C tier up to A except for Hydras. I know you were looking at how fun these tribes are as well but I really think you missed the mark on those since they actually have a ton of support. I get that the game plan doesn’t seem as good in commander, but that’s tribal decks in general. Cats are almost in that same group but I agree there just aren’t enough playables yet.

    Knights are usually a type nobles that are born into a family that becomes knights. It’s a step above citizens, but not quite nobles since they have to train and fight, although they did gain most the benifits nobles received. It was not common to become a knight born outside of a knight family. Anyone can sign up and be a soldier usually the lower class, where as knights are more of a mid-high class. Sorry for the rant, but to me a knight is definitely it’s own thing, especially since I’ve always loved mid-evil times and lore

    I recently built an edh Hydra Deck with Gargos as Commander and I gotta say, I am pretty sure you just dont now what hydras can do. First of all, I have just a few X Hydras in this deck, like 5 or maybe less, and there is a hydra for every main function, there is a ramp Hydra , a Draw Hydra , removal Hydra , wipe Hydra and even a Genesis Hydra. Hydras do have a theme besides X : they like to fight, they dont like flyers, and they are hard to kill or give you stuff when they are killed.
    Dont underestimate hydras.
    PS: I also consider a tribal deck, a deck that does not solely rely on creatures of the chosen type, so we might be talking about different things. I only have 14 + Commander Hydras in my deck. I do consider this Hydra - Tribal.

EDIT: The difference between soldiers, knights, and warriors isn't hard to get (even if they're not that great). Knights tend to be the noble fighter class and therefore get all the best armor, weapons, and mounts. Warriors are like the wild untrained fighters. Soldiers are just normal, poor/middle-class dudes trained to fight and fairly well equipped.
