I could see some fun in making a tribal card that rewards you for having multiple tribes out, say:

Tribal Unity 2GG Enchantment, each creature you control gets +1+1 for each other creature type you control.

But then again, even one single changeling on the field would make your creatures like +1,000 +1,000 :P

Not great in EDH. Easy swap-out card.

@lorendorky: How about something like:

Tribal Unity 2GG
Enchantment
Each creature you control gets +1/+1 for each other creature you control that doesn't share a creature type with it.

Curves in right after Muraganda Petroglyphs to make a 3/3 Snake, a 4/4 Wolf, and a 5/5 Elephant.

@lorendorky and UsagiYojimbo - Tribal Unity already exists, as does Cooperation too... maybe go with Collaboration? But that sounds more white than green... Either way, I like the idea of anti-tribal, and what you suggested is like an inverted Coat of Arms that doesn't help other players...

You could maybe make it so that it gets +1/+1 for each other UNIQUE creature type, so if there are two beasts that subtype doesn't get counted, to get round the changeling rule? It would make it trickier to build around I guess, but it could be tweaked perhaps to make more interesting builds (as I am not a big tribal deck fan, I prefer themes).

Pricey, but interesting synergy with evolve creatures

My friend always joked that this card always deserved it's own cartoon show.
A pair of environmentalist animals that just end up destroying everything.

Here's the jingle

Im with swordfish, one of the first cards you would swap out in EDH. Unless you love creating 3 creatures with 1 spell.

Based on the flavor of the effect you're suggesting, how about calling it Biodiversity. As to its mechanics, how about:

Biodiversity 4G
Enchantment
As long as creatures you control have no creature type in common, creatures you control get +x/+x where is x is the number of creatures you control. Otherwise creatures you control get +1/+1.

or:

Biodiversity GGG
Enchantment
As long as you control 3 or more creatures that have no creature type in common, creatures you control get +3/+3.

Creatures you control have trample.

or:

Biodiversity 2GG
Enchantment-Aura
Enchant creature

Enchanted creature gets +x/+x and has trample, where x is the number of creatures you control which don't share a creature type with enchanted creature.
