Jason Felix is apparently an Eltrazi tribal illustrator, Chris Rahn illustrated the majority of the "Sword of X and Y" cycle, and Izzy is apparently just very good at illustrating cheap, aggressive, spellslinger-y cards. The Asmira/Rebecca Guay combination is appealing because Guay actually illustrated Asmira herself! Some of these are pretty on-the-nose: Johannes Voss was commissioned to illustrate many of the Shrines, which are suitable for a Shrine commander. Karametra, God of Harvests Kruphix, God of Horizons Nylea, Keen-Eyed Xenagos, God of Revels Iroas, God of Victory Keranos, God of Storms Klothys, God of Destiny Nylea, God of the Hunt Heliod, God of the Sun Mogis, God of Slaughter Erebos, God of the Dead Thassa, God of the Sea Purphoros, God of the Forge Athreos, God of Passage Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded Ephara, God of the Polis Eerie Ultimatum Kaya the Inexorable Heliod, Sun-Crowned I find that scrolling through this gallery gives an excellent sense of the nature and breadth of each artists' ouvre. In recognition of the talent of these artists and the creativity of the deckbuilders responsible for these decks, below is an "art gallery" of sorts, featuring the individual illustrations that appear most frequently in these theme decks. Here are some of the most popular illustrators to build a deck around: artist 1 I decided that any deck running at least 50 unique nonbasic lands with art by a single artist was probably trying to be themed around that artist. My process was straightforward, though fairly computationally expensive: I looked through a large sample of the over 1,000,000 decks represented on EDHREC and identified the artist(s) responsible for the illustrations of each card therein. Thus, I decided to look for Artist Tribal decks in the EDHREC database! Lately, I've been really interested in the art of Magic, and those who create it. These decks aren't necessarily mechanically synergistic their primary purpose is typically to celebrate the work of a specific illustrator. Less common are so-called " Artist Tribal" decks: those that exclusively or heavily feature cards with art by a specific Magic: the Gathering artist. Though these decks don't focus on creature types in the same way, they feature cards bearing specific mechanics and try to take advantage of what those mechanics do, as well as other cards that specifically mention those mechanics (e.g., menace, trample, vigilance).

Of course, there are also decks built around mechanics in a similar way, such as " flying tribal" and " deathtouch tribal". One of the most useful parts of EDHREC are the lists of tribal commanders, decks, and cards, which are so useful for finding interesting creature type synergies and cards you may have forgotten about.
