The Great Creature Type Challenge - Final Results

[void_nothing]

Type of the Day: None - Congratulations to ApocalypseChive!

Over 280 creature types exist in Magic. Some of them have been more prominent than others. All of them deserve some time in the sun. That's where this daily contest thread comes in. The rules are detailed below:

To Enter:

• Note the type for the day, which will be the creature type directly after the previous day's in alphabetical order.
• Design a creature (or kindred, previously tribal) card that has the day's specified creature type. This is the only restriction - as long as you have the right typeline, you can design any card you want. You can include any other types you like, as long as you have the specified one for the day.
• Vote for two of the other entrants from the previous day. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)

Scoring:

A running score tally will be kept for all players' totals throughout the length of this contest. In addition, an honor roll of the winners of each day (the champions of that day's creature type) will also be maintained in spoilered form in each day's thread. Once all the creature types have been cycled through, and voting for the final alphabetical type (presently Zubera) is done, there will be a highly prestigious overall winner as well!

Other Rules:

Just like any other daily contests, anyone is free to enter as many or as few days as they like and begin entering at any time.

The list of creature types that will be used in this contest is the Comprehensive Rules list, which includes "canon" creature types, those which are only used on tokens at this time, ones only used in Universes Beyond or D&D crossover products, and ones only used in Unfinity, the most recent acorn set. If new types are added to the Comprehensive Rules list during the run of this contest, they will be included in a thread if and only if they are alphabetically later than the current day's type.

The penalty for entering without exactly two votes for the previous day's cards will be 7 days probation, during which there will be no restrictions on continuing to enter the contest or score points. However, if a player fails to vote properly again during probation, their card will not be eligible for voting the next day.

Threads will be archived by letter: Once the first day with a type starting with B is posted, for example, all threads for types starting with A will be sent to the Contest Archives.

Note of the Day:

Congratulations to the overall winner of the Great Creature Type Challenge, @ApocalypseChive, who has been posting in this contest's threads from Advisor onward and who battled fiercely for first place on multiple occasions, and wound up being the only person to cross the 700 point mark! What a well-earned victory.

Congrats also to everyone who won or tied for winning an individual day, and thank you all for participating in this epic contest. Please discuss the contest as a whole here and I'll try to respond to anything directed at me and pop in with other observations, commentary, and statistics as appropriate.

Couldn't keep up with the everyday pace of this competition for a full 9 months, but really enjoyed the time that I did participate!

Any thoughts on doing a "best submission in the entire contest"?

All creatures have changeling.
Non-creature cards on the battlefield, in a library, or in a graveyard are kindred cards with changeling.

[Ink-Treader]

Congratulations, @ApocalypseChive! I just couldn't keep it up as consistently. At least I just managed to grasp 2nd again at the end.

[Sporegorger_Dragon]

Congratulations @ApocalypseChive!

I wanted to enter a bit earlier than N, but man the A-creatures were just not doing it for me.

[ApocalypseChive]

Thanks all! I just happened to be on the forums on the day it started and it was fun to think about the next day's type when I had free moments.
Would be great if we could somehow ensure everyone had time to submit, but a pace like once a week would take years to go through. I suppose you could do one week for all the types starting with a given letter, but some of them have over 20 types. Another way to break it up could be to have a winner per letter?
