So, one complaint I've seen about tribal decks is that they tend to be really same-y, especially for smaller tribes. And I can see where they're coming from - most tribes end up pushing you towards aggro decks, since your win condition usually ends up being "smack my opponent with my ridiculously efficient creatures ASAP".
However, I recently started messing around with a Druid tribal deck. As part of making it a Druid deck and not an Elf deck, I left out all of the Elf lords, even if they happened to be Druids. The end result? I have a lot of ways to generate mana and card advantage, but not much in the way of passive creature buffs. Which has a very different feel to it. And I like that.
Similarly, I'm very fond of my Thunderkin Awakener Elemental deck - Incandescent Soulstoke widens your choices for reanimating and provides fuel in the form of Elementals with nasty ETB effects (which is a lot of them).

So, here's the idea. Each person suggests a creature type and a playstyle. The next person gives a short critique of the previous person's card, then makes a card that matches that concept.
I'll start us off: Goblin Control.
