Alright i'm planning to make a tribal deck, i don't really mind if it is competitive or not, so i came here to ask you guys, which tribal deck do you think it is the best and the most fun to play with?
Pre INN - Elves is the strongest followed by a well built Merfolk deck.
Post INN - Elves will still be the strongest, but I think Zombies will take 2nd over quickly w/ the craziness that is in the set so far.
Elves take the cake here because their synergies create ridiculous, super-fast ramp, which pumps out more elves which makes other elves bigger. Or you can go combo with them. Or use them as a mana-base in an otherwise non-tribal deck. Etc. It's very difficult to make a (non 12-post) mono-G deck any good without elves. I don't think any other tribal critter is as crucial to its color(s) than, say, Llanowar Elves.
So wait. The most competitive Tribal Deck so far, Shamans, isn't listed? I guess Merfolk isn't bad, but Shamans make up (or used to make up) a strong chunk of dailies. It was like 3rd-4th most winning deck for a good few weeks.

I don't really know Shamans so i forgot to put them in there.

Or... slivers?
(Actually, "infect slivers" might be viable, featuring Virulent Sliver + Triumph of the Hordes, with AEther Vial, Gemhide Sliver, Lead the Stampede, etc)

I forgot about Slivers!
They're really good, and yeah seems like it may be a viable deck.
My pick currently, also unlisted, would be shamans.

There are 2 Wizards, 1 is supposed to be Shaman
The card you mentioned is also Hada Freeblade 5-8 in an Allies deck.

Don't really have a favorite out of those, although I do have a soft spot for Faeries since I used to play them back when they were Standard legal.
Thanks to Nezumi for the banner!
Fae #2, because Spellstutter Sprite and Vendilion Clique are still fantastic
i don't think the merfolk decks are good, but in a combo heavy metagame they arent terrible.
(hey, they're probably better than samurais; one scarecrow is so good it's banned in modern! ;))

I vote for Kithkin
Insert witty phrase here
Not too bad for Ninjas to have 12.50% of the vote so far....
