wins a lot of casual games, and lets you make silly tribal decks.

Making any tribal scary can be pretty funny. RUN IN TERROR FROM MY ARMY OF GNOMES!

This card is the reason why most of the people that I play with regularly carry some form of Naturalize in their decks now.

Slivers don't really need it when you have the likes of... well, just about any other sliver. It's great for any other deck of one type though.

What was my general's creature type again? In some decks that's reason enough to run this.

Tribal Fear...
Sideboard it when facing Black/Artifact, otherwise any vintage tribal deck running black should consider this - you'll be immune to its effects, your opponents will not.
This is how you either scare your opponent out of their wits or flat out just run them over/harass them.

It's cheap at only 2 CMC and that 1 colorless is begging to be another color besides Black.
Sure, it's most effective versus mono/multi decks running W/U/R/G most of which have access to easy removal, but that usually won't protect them from its immediate effects and will ultimately slow them down next turn if they do.

This is a good card, for sure. I like "pick-your-creature-type" effects.

Why is the darkness selective, though? 'Only Brushwaggs are obscured by this shadow!'
