A creature visual spoiler is a collection of creature
card images that share a common tribe. The images are typically
sorted by color and then (hopefully) alphabetically by name. You
can find all of the images below this introduction. To the right
you will find some interesting tidbits I've collected from various
sources. If you have any interesting facts about this tribe,
send me an email.
Creature Visual Spoilers are an excellent resource if
you are looking to complete a collection of this tribe or to build a tribal deck. Pure casual (non-Magic
Online) tribal decks are decks that have sixteen or more cards of the same
creature type. Tribal Wars, a casual Magic Online format, requires that
one third of the deck be of the same creature type with a minimum of sixty
cards.
If you have any Tribal Decks you would like to submit to
the MDV Deck Database
(DDB), be sure to post your deck in the
Casual Deck Forum with "[TRIBAL]" in the
title. Remember to use "[deck] [/deck]" tags so your cards are
auto-carded. Note that only unique decks and decks that aren't already in
the DDB
are chosen. MDV's Tribal Decks can be found
here.
At this time, this creature visual spoiler does not
include fictional cards, cards that interact with the tribe that aren't
actually in the tribe, cards that generate tokens of this tribe, or actual
tokens. This page does, however, include applicable
cards from [UN] products like Unglued and Unhinged as well as Tribal
instants, sorceries and enchantments.
If you would like to see cards that are capable of
being any creature type, such as Mistform Ultimus or the Changelings
from Lorwyn block, please check out the
Changeling
mechanic visual spoiler.

Interesting Tidbits and Links
- Birds of Paradise, one of Magic most iconic Bird
cards, wasn't originally planned to be in Alpha. The original art
was meant for Tropical Island but because of the prominent bird in the
art, BoP was designed based on the art. Lucky us.
- In Mirage and before, there were several cards that
used Falcon as a creature type. Even Soraya the Falconer from Homelands
affected falcons. These cards including cards like Bay Falcon, Zephyr
Falcon and Duskrider Falcon are now all Birds thanks to Oracle updates.
- Hunting Moa, a green bird originally from Urza's
block, is the only Bird to in Magic that doesn't have flying. Roc
Hatchling is the only other bird without flying, but at least the
product of that card does. Note that Hunting Moa was a beast before
being Timeshifted in Time Spiral. Update: Whipporwill has just been
added to the ilst of birds without flying.
- The great Creature Type Update removed Bird Maiden
from the Birds tribe and added cards like Carrier Pigeons, Pit Raptor,
Kangee, Junk Diver and Silver Erne.
- Shards of Alara introduced the first colored artifact
Bird (Tidehollow Strix).
