I voted for "Other". My preferred tribe for pure flavour reasons is the Cephalids. I wish (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wish) they printed more of them.

For me it has to be Elves.

I started playing during Onslaught (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Onslaught) block and the first sealed product I ever bought was the Elvish Fury (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Fury) deck. I had such a blast upgrading it and playing it against my friends.

Even today, green is my favorite color (together with black, of course) and Elves my favorite tribe.

Elves is my favorite tribe for similar reasons. The first product I bought was the Elves v Inventors dual deck and my friends and I played the hell out of it. I think the art on a lot of the cards, like Ezuri, Renegade Leader (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ezuri%2C+Renegade+Leader), Elvish Archdruid (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Archdruid), Llanowar Elves (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Llanowar+Elves), etc. is a big reason I like the tribe, and of course big mana goes brrr.

Lorwyn Giants, no doubt. I voted for "other", although I like Dragons and Angels as well.

My favorite is elves, but I put other to show myr some love. I'll always have fond memories of Mirrodin. The cool artifacts are one of the main reasons I picked up magic.

Hi. I Vote for "Others". My favorite tribe is Kor. Yes you can do some tribal things with it. :D

Elves. I'm all about mana ramping green, baby. Elvish Warmaster (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Elvish+Warmaster) was just added to my latest Modern deck.

I voted Elves, but I like all kinds of tribal (commander) decks. But my other favorites are merfolk and elementals! Besides that I have an knights, wizards and a rogue deck.

My love for elves and other tribes started with Lorwyn block. That was the first time I bought some sets of commons and uncommons to make tribal decks with. And the best at that time were elves and merfolk. I'm still waiting for an interesting (bant) commander for the archer tribe. One of the most fun decks I played when we didn't play commander was an archer deck with Greatbow Doyen (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Greatbow+Doyen) at the centre and cards as merrow levitator (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Merrow+Levitator) to give my opponents creatures flying and then shoot them with Scattershot Archer (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Scattershot+Archer) or Jagged-Scar Archers (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Jagged-Scar+Archers). And with all the white archers (like Brigid, hero of Kinsbaile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Brigid%2C+Hero+of+Kinsbaile)) there must be a commander for it.

I like cat’s just built rin and Siri. I also like Miri I was thinking about building a deck around her as my commander.

Dragons. Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, big flying death lizards of fire, and dragons. I love the ultimate timmy tribe.

Voting for Rebels. Though Dragons is a close second.

I voted "Other". Eldrazi is my favorite tribe. Although widely hated, it is always fun to see how newer sets synergize with this tribe given the small amount of cards that are actually eldrazi tribal.

Archon.
Archon of Valor's Reach (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Archon+of+Valor%27s+Reach), Archon of Justice (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Archon+of+Justice), Harmonious Archon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Harmonious+Archon).
I just like saying the word Archon. I don't even know what an archon is.

Archons, in my belief and view, are Knights who ride huge flying lions or tigers in "Generali" mood and outlook, which usually can be considered to be elemental cats in essence like Skycat Sovereign (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Skycat+Sovereign) or Pride of the Clouds (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pride+of+the+Clouds). They're not Knights that ride fleecemane lion (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Fleecemane+Lion) like Ethercaste Knight (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ethercaste+Knight), Kabira Vindicator (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Kabira+Vindicator) or his "lover and protector" Citadel Castellan (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Citadel+Castellan). Archon Knights spend great deal of time with their animals and can also relate to flying creatures like Archon of Redemption (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Archon+of+Redemption) and have "detain" like Archon of the Triumvirate (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Archon+of+the+Triumvirate) with the "daughter Archon riding Griffin" Lyev Skyknight (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lyev+Skyknight). Fleecemane cats, I suspect, roam in the wild like Wild Leotau (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wild+Leotau) probably and can produce normal "offspring" (normal lions and tigers), but are "tamed" and have proper stables. Thus they have owners, which are Knights like the aforementioned and Rafiq of the Many (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Rafiq+of+the+Many), Sigiled Paladin (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sigiled+Paladin), Knight of the White Orchid (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Knight+of+the+White+Orchid) and Valiant Knight (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Valiant+Knight), as well, who own these fleecemane cats and ride them properly. Hope that made sense in the Magic "glossary" and mythology.

Since I joined with Ixalan my favorite tribe became Pirates, but I would really like to see more Ninjas in the upcoming Kamigawa Neon Dynasty block, since I like the idea of that tribe.
