Type of the Day: Elemental

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 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.

Elder votes: JovialJovian, slimytrout

Broodshaper 2C
Creature - Eldrazi (R)
Eldrazi tokens you control have base power and toughness equal to Broodshaper's power and toughness.
Whenever you cast an Eldrazi spell with mana value 7 or greater, Broodshaper's base power and toughness become equal to that spell's mana value until end of turn.

Voice of Silence 9
Creature — Eldrazi Angel (R)
Emerge 6WW (You may cast this spell by sacrificing a creature and paying the emerge cost reduced by that creature's mana value.)
When you cast this spell, exile up to one target creature or creature card in a graveyard. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs 2 more to cast.
Flying, vigilance

It That You Are His 8
Creature - Eldrazi (Mythic, Digital Only)
It That You Are His influences every second decision players do, and these decisions can break game rules. (The A.I will try to help you win the game, and can decide between playing the phase normally, drawing a card, attacking and/or blocking with a creature even outside combat, and playing a card without payment.)
Ward - It That You Are His influences every decision this turn and the next turn.
8/8

Dronepack Howler 8
Creature - Eldrazi Werewolf (Rare)
Emerge 5GG (You may cast this spell by sacrificing a creature and paying the emerge cost reduced by that creature's mana value.)
When you cast Dronepack Howler, transform all double-faced creatures you control. For each creature that transforms into an Eldrazi this way, create a 3/2 colorless Eldrazi Horror creature token.
3/2

Firmament Render 6C
Creature - Eldrazi (M)
Flash
When you cast Firmament Render, search target player's hand, graveyard, and library for up to four cards with the same name and exile them. Then that player shuffles.
When Firmament Render leaves the battlefield, you may cast a card exiled with it without paying its mana cost.

Would love to sneak one in if it's not too late:

All-Swallower has haste as long as you sacrifced a creature this turn.

Bolt from Beyond 2R
Creature - Elemental (M)
Elemental spells you cast have cascade. (When you cast an Elemental spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)
Whenever you cast a spell from exile, create a copy of Lightning Bolt. You may cast the copy. (It's an instant that costs R and deals 3 damage to any target.)

JovialJovian, lookingupanddown (fyi the templating is just "transform all creatures you control" a la Moonmist, and then only TDFCs are capable of transforming)

Whenever Tidepool Shellemental or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may switch target creature's power and toughness until end of turn.
