Typal
"Tribal" is Magic slang for a block, set, or deck that places heavy emphasis on creature types. The concept has been around since Limited Edition Alpha, but was not explored in depth until Fallen Empires. The Onslaught block was the first to delve very deeply into the mechanics of the tribal theme, to be followed several years later by the Lorwyn block. Many other blocks and sets have employed the tribal theme in a more minor capacity, most notably the Kamigawa block.
