That wombat is such a flavor fail. Wombats are remarkably tough creatures. When a car hits them on the road, the car looses the fight. Wombats do not go rabid as rabies is not found in Australia the only country wombats can be found in the wild.

I've had this discussion before regarding what differentiates a soldier from a warrior from a knight. Very simple actually. A soldier belongs to an army, they can muster, they report to a chain of command. A warrior is an independent mercenary, they may go on quests and adventures to make money, they dont report to anyone. A knight is a noble soldier that has a certain level of political power and responsibility, they are usually wealthy with a faction of soldiers under his command, also they are mounted

[@malcolmheredia-langner5839]

I think this one would have been more fun if it were rarest that is more than one. That way Pfeldagriff could pop up.

[@Lovuschka]

Actually, technically they all have at least 27 because there are 26 creatures with the ability Changeling, giving them all also that creature type.

[@Melissanoma]

@@Lovuschka there are 32 creatures with Changeling or cards that create tokens with Changeling. There were 26 *cards* with changeling in Lorwyn block, before the new ones from Modern Horizons, but five of those were cards with the Tribal super type that weren't actually creatures. Also, you forgot Mistform Ultimus, a creature that had the Changeling ability before it was keyworded and wouldn't show up in a search.

[@Lovuschka]

​@@Melissanoma Actually I used the MTGWiki as my source. It says 26 there. mtg.gamepedia.com/Changeling But yes, Mistform Ultimus has an ability that gives him every creature type without technically having the Changeling ability, so that would make one more card to count here.

[@kingfuzzy2]

@@Lovuschka there are quite a few creatures that become the creature type of your choice for 2 Mana and enchantments that do that too.

Could you do "Top 10 Lords", it would work well with what you are looking at with tribe since the strength of a tribe is in their supporting lord.

[@JasonOshinko]

I always thought it was weird that mammals tend to get more specific creature types (Sable, Ferret, etc.). I mean, there are two cards with "Anemone" in their name, and you know what their creature type is? Jellyfish.

[@mfnbpwnz]

Next time you do something like this it'd be really cool to see little pie graphs showing a quick and easy to digest visual representation of the distribution of colors within each type.

Sable should have been type Ferret, as they're very closely related. Alternately Mongoose

[@Stonewren]

Mongooses are feliforms (like hyenas and cats) whereas ferrets and sables are caniforms (like wolves, bears, seals, bears, raccoons, and otters). So while it might not matter enough in the popular consciousness, mongooses and ferrets aren't all that closely related.

[@TheStrangeBloke]

fun fact, elk and caribou are actually the same animal! Or, close enough. In late medieval britain, 'deer' usually meant reindeer/caribou, and 'elk' referred to what modern americans would call a moose. But all these animals had gone extinct on the british isles so when colonists came to the americas they simply referred to the small hoofed animals in the woods as deer and the larger hoofed animals as elk. In reality, american elk are caribou or reindeer, and american deer are a smaller class of animal that never existed in britain. But the colonists saw even larger hoofed mammals and assumed those were a new species never seen in europe and used the native american word for them: "moose." In summary: American elk are European reindeer/caribou, American moose are European Elk, American deer are their own thing, and the caribou type has NO reason to exist.

[@Lovuschka]

@@WontonTV WOTC: "Dredge is too strong" *prints card in WAR that makes Dredge infinitely stronger* But hey, it is not OP. I mean, you need 6 mana for that and to get the guys into the graveyard, so by the time they are out (likely round 2 or 3) the opponent already has destroyed you in Vintage. :-)

Did anyone notice, that creature is misspelled in the video? 1:33

[@NizzahonMagic]

You could find your answer by just looking at the comments!

[@theolihot]

I was fully expecting Trilobite to be there with Shore Keeper as the only member. But as I googled it, I saw that they added Electryte from Urza's Saga as M19 released and Scuttling Sliver is introduced as a Sliver Trilobite in Modern Horizons! The more you know!

[@armogohma2]

Congratulations to Brushwagg and Lamia for escaping this list!

[@Eric_The_Cleric]

Well. I guess it makes sense that each featured card on the top 10 most frequent creature types in MTG shared a type with another one of the cards that made this list. I mean, there were 4 humans on the list, two even being human soldiers! I get that there are cards that have only the one creature type, but point made lol. Also, I didn't realize Cleric would make this list. I honestly was super surprised to NOT see something like Vampires or Demons, which I thought was far more popular and supported than Cleric. Guess I was wrong. Time for a Cleric tribal deck!!!

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

The rarest creature type in the game is Coward. There are no Coward Creature Cards. There are no tokens. They can only exist temporarily.

[@trexpaddock]

The CORRECT top 10. 1. Goblin (mono red) 2. Goblin (red/black) 3 Goblin (red/blue) 4. Goblin (red/green) 5. Goblin (red/white) 6. Goblin ( red/black/blue) 7. Goblin (Red / black / green) 8. Goblin (red / blue / green ) 9. Goblin (red / black / blue / green / white ) 10. Goblin (red / artifact ) 11. Goblin ( Red / red ) 12. Goblin (Squee the Immortal) 17. Goblin (goblin) 19. Nilbog. 42.
