The main reason behind doing it this way is to make the tags searchable and more consistent. We know we’ve likely missed more than a few tags, so feel free to point out any you feel should be added. That said, keep in mind that while we are trying to create as many descriptive tags as needed, we are trying to consolidate them as much as possible simultaneously (it helps when users are searching through tagged decks). So if we don’t add a tag that you feel should be there, and instead suggest using a similar tag that we feel means the same thing, that’d be why.

{"ops":[{"insert":"We very intentionally did not make a tribal tag because we don't want users to feel as if they need to set two tags to convey one thing (i.e. always needing to use the tribal tag in addition to the creature type whenever tagging a tribal deck). Our intent would be for users to only use the dragon tag if it's a dragon tribal deck rather than a deck that just happens to run one or more dragon. After all, if you're doing a search for decks with the dragon tag, would you really want to be shown every deck with some number of dragons in it, or just the ones where dragons are essential to their identity? We believe the latter to be more useful. \n"}]}
