Tribal land
Tribal lands are lands associated with one tribe.
While not strictly tribal lands, Ancient Ziggurat and Hall of the Bandit Lord appear in tribal decks due to their support of creature spells in general. Underdome also is in a sense due to working with the subset of silver-bordered cards only.
