Talk:Typal

Why is Ally only "quiasi-tribal"? It's as tribal as it can get. Actually it was an attampt to do an other version of Slivers. Also, there is Avanger of Zendikar, which is kind of Plant tribal.

And for the last few blocks: Tarkir had a Warrior Theme, Dragons of Tarkir a Dragon Theme. Battle for Zendikar block had Allies and Eldrazi. Shadows block had not only the Innistrad tribes but also Eldrazi.

Amonkhet touches on Minotaur as well. 94.236.188.169

Wiki standard - "Typal" vs "Tribal"

With R&D moving away from "tribal" to "typal" internally, should the Wiki stick to using "tribal" as short-hand for creature-type-matters mechanics and themes? MaRo has said that the move is only an internal thing, not a player-facing thing but I assume its only a matter of time before that changes if they continue using it internally. -- RivalRowan (talk) 08:21, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

As with most "considerate language" changes (to give it a less charged category name) it should probably be dependent on how well the community takes to it. It has the benefit of being a better descriptor and doesn't cause a clash of ambiguity with the previous term, and I suspect this wiki is cited enough that having a page for it would be beneficial in spreading its adoption. It could be boiled down to whether the wiki is meant to be at the forefront of changes, adding things as they come out, or as a retroactive archive of events once they're played out. 114.76.200.191 01:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Now that Kindred has replaced the "other Tribal", I think it is also the time to move this page. Kindred seems to be quickly accepted, but I see multiple posts from thinking thinking that the word is also replacing Typal. We should go with the flow and leave the "tribal confusion" behind. --Hunterofsalvation (talk) 07:08, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
