What is a Homarid (flavorfully)?

It’s like a Camarid, but bigger!

Also, lobster people from Dominaria. They mostly keep to themselves but as Dominaria keeps having global disasters, sometimes they run afoul of another race as they’re forced to relocate.

What is a Homarid (mechanically)?

Homarids are Blue creatures that range from 1/2 to 6/6, with a completely random array of abilities. Two of them can spend a Blue mana to give themselves shroud until end of turn, tap, and not untap during their controller’s next untap phase which is only notable because there’s only seven Homarids.

Can I make a Homarid deck?

There are seven Homarids. There are zero competent Homarids. This is a hard pass. The only ‘tribal’ card they even have is a Mystery Booster Playtest Card, which is both very not legal and not actually good.

Is Homarid a good creature type?

Homarid’s a bad type, and that makes me sad, because lobster men are cool. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix: Make them, and the Camarids, all Crabs, or make them and Crabs all “Crustacean.” Players love Crabs, and adding the types together would enable a few more Crab lords.
