Tribal is a big component of design in Magic. Good tribal mechanics can make or break limited environments, and tribal legends almost always facilitate new decks in Commander. But what happens when your tribe gets pushed aside? Replaced by little green babies and grape jelly men? In this episode, Nick and Zak talk about how and why changelings can push out members of a tribe from their own tribal list. This episode gets into precepts of designing for Commander, and what designs make it easy for the night hags to swap their own children into your tribal deck's ranks.
