4chan MtG is largely tribal, with many creature types (or stereotypes, rather) unique to it.
In alphabetical order:
Bishoujo - All colors, but few black. Varied functions, some of which are based on their toughness (boob size) as today's card suggests.
Cat - All colors, mainly green. Small critters, very varied in functionality.
Desu - Red-green aggro stormers. Based on strength in numbers and exploatation of it.
Emo - Guess the color... Not very numerous, but a good variety of abilities triggered upon damage reception and destruction.
Furry - Mainly green, often very conditional... Always some animal type in addition.
Hentai - Mainly white, black and green. White and green Hentai are mostly Bishoujo with lifegain in mind, while black Hentai, often Monsters, offer a real horrorshow, particularly against Bishoujo.
Loli - Mainly green and white, weenies as the name suggests. Weak in combat but good with protection, prevention and overall diplomacy.
Mecha - Tough artifact creatures.
Otaku - Mainly blue. Revolves around draw, peek, reorder and artifacts.
Pedo - Anti/Pro-Loli. Most of them are Bears in addition. Y'know.
Pokémon - Yay! All colors of course, although many of them are blue. U GEZ'D IT TIS TEH MUDKIPS
Yaoi - All colors. Good cards with the down-side that they make it difficult to play anything non-Yaoi.
Yuri - Bishoujo exploiters and traitors. All colors.

You know these. They're from Azumanga Daioh.
This is a Cat creature, another major creature type in the 4chan set. They're very characteristic, and span over all five colors, although mainly green. Some of them are anime creatures, others are ordinary ones. Wait - what's the difference? Well anime cards work just like their ordinary counterparts, although anime sorceries, instants and enchantments may have creature types. Anime itself is not a creature type. Neither is another, basicly identical card type: meme. There are also anime meme cards, which work as either or both.
Sooo this is Piranha Cats. It has two new key abilities, Empowerment and Pack.
Empowerment is an ability that makes cards cheaper to play if you use the right mana. Piranha Cats' empowerment makes it ideal in a monogreen Cat deck as a trampling 3/3 for three mana, while not making it too useless in multicolored decks. The ability plays a major role in deck construction. Also, cards aren't necessarily empowered by the color it is. There are cards that, for example, misplace color-specific functions for a high original price (for example red counterers, bouncers and draws, empowered by blue).
The other ability this card presents is Pack. The explaination text on the card should fill you in. As you may guess, Desu use this ability more than any other creature type to gain bonuses.
... The picture is so adorable...
