Today's Challenge: Make a new creature type that is technically already covered (like "Crane," instead of "Bird")

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:
  • Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)
  • Make a card that fits the current challenge.
  • Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.
Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

.::Scoring::.
void_nothing 43 (+3)
Rithaniel 39 (+5)
netn10 35 (+2)
haywire 31 (+3)
JovialJovian 22

World-Curse Wall
Creature - Wall C

When World-Curse Wall blocks for the first time, put a numb counter on target creature it is blocking. (Creatures with numb counters lose all abilities and have base power and toughness 1/1.)

Dream of Different Shadowmoor 1
Creature - Dream (Common)

Vote: Wren (The abilities are a little overcosted, but I like the idea), haywire

This is one major problem with types like "bird" or "dinosaur." There are so many birds and dinosaurs to choose from. It'd be like having a "mammal" creature type.

Drigaan, Carrier of the World
Legendary Creature - Giant Ankylosaurs R
Defender
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a life counter on target land you control. It becomes a 5/5 green Elemental creature token. It's still a land.
Drigaan gets +4/+4 as long as you control a Mountain.
Drigaan can block any number of creatures as long as you control a Plains.
2/6

IIW: Take more than one turn after this one.
And a Few Quotes
Show
Hide
"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
― Stephen Jay Gould

Currentglide Manta 3U
Creature - Ray (R)
Ward 3
Whenever a creature with flying you control attacks, that creature gains islandwalk until end of turn and you create a 0/1 blue Starfish creature token.
Whenever a creature with islandwalk you control attacks, that creature gains flying until end of turn and you untap a permanent you control.
4/3

IIW: Creatures with landwalk not corresponding to their color
