This is the first round of deckbuilding for the core set cube, guided by the tribe lords in 10th Edition and M10.
1. Goblins. If I add a bunch from Lorwyn block and go Black-Red, I have a nice selection.
2. Same with Elves, Green/Black, which can be expanded with Origins.
3. Soldiers also with Lorwyn, mono-white, and with a little help from M10.
4. Zombies required me to roam through many core sets, and use Alara block.
5. For Merfolk, I got help from Lorwyn and a few later core sets.
