I like playing tribal decks but ones that are more intuitive than just stacking lords and things like Moutainwalk. I can understand why you weren't a fan of Lorwyn though, the most recent Innistrad block felt quite similar to me. Want to play red? Vampires or werewolves. Green? Humans or werewolves. Black? Vampires or zambies. The RtR-Theros and Theros-Khans standard have been my favorites in recent years. A lot more variety and decks built around color and abilities rather then a pretty narrow tribal based environment. And sooo many new cheap/awesome cards for commander.

Do you still have any of those old cards pete? You might find some of them might be worth a bit haha.

This is probably my favorite old card that I own:
