Diligent Zookeeper
A tribal lord that pays out on breadth rather than depth. Most anthem creatures care about a single named type: Elf lords buff Elves, Goblin lords buff Goblins, and a two-type creature counts once toward each. This one inverts that math. It scans your non-Human creatures and rewards the ones stapling together the most creature types, so a lone Dragon gets +1/+1 while a Beast Dinosaur Dragon climbs three steps at once. That reframes deckbuilding around the modern glut of hyphenated type lines: a card that reads as a mediocre body on its own becomes a threat the moment it carries four or five subtypes. The maximum of ten is the ceiling that keeps the effect from spiraling on a creature with a comically stacked type line, and it caps the bonus well below where a single dork could end games unassisted. Note the exclusion clause is doing real load-bearing work: the buff skips your Humans entirely, which quietly pushes you toward the exotic end of the creature pool and away from the tribes green usually leans on. It is a lord that asks a different deckbuilding question than any other: not "how many of one thing do I have" but "how much is each thing pretending to be."
