List of Tribes
These are the different creature types for cards printed during the Premodern era. It may not be possible to build a deck with any of these tribes, as there may not be enough of them. For example, there are only three different Antelopes, or there is only one Cockatrice or Dreadnought. There are also some creature types not included because there are no creatures with that type, but there are cards that create tokens of them, like Caribou Range for Caribous or Icatian Town for Citizens, and several cards for Saprolings.
