Welcome to the Card of the Week Contest! To participate in this Contest you'll have to design a card along the contest guidelines and throw it into the arena with other competitors' entries! At the end of each week, a winner will be determined by forum poll. The winner's card will be rendered and featured on the Welcome page, and the winner decides the challenge for the next week's Contest! Here we go, competitors: our three-hundred and forty-ninth challenge!
The winners of the "Planeshot and Planechaser" poll were aquonn (top left), galva94 (top right) and thaneofglamis (bottom) with... And the challenge issued by one of our winners was... This challenge is simple: Create a creature card that features a brand-new creature type! It could be something that older cards could be errata'd into, like the recent reveal of Phyrexian as a creature type, or it could be something never-before-seen in Magic, as long as no currently existing card has that type. Yes, that includes silver-border!
Additionally, please try to keep your entry edits all in one post - if you need to change it you can put your old entry in a spoiler marked "Old entry" and leave the newest rendition to be seen. Just use the edit button in the top/right of your original post.And now, time to begin the challenge! Best of luck, competitors!

Clarification: Are obsolete creature types also free game, since no card currently exists with that type?

Attachment Deleted Apologies for the smaller image. Munching Faknii 3B Creature - Aye-Aye Demon When Munching Faknii enters the battlefield, create three 1/1 green insect creature tokens. Sacrifice a creature: Munching Faknii gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X equals the number of insects you control. 0/1

 i decided to go for a class type rather than a race, since everyone else seems to be doing that introducing Brewer (since Samite Alchemist meant Alchemist was obsoleted), a class that really likes to sacrifice specific cards (in this case, enchantments) to make potions (in this case, instants and sorceries). i also decided to make him legendary so he could be a bit more interesting  |

Cultists already exist inside the MTG universe, but as creature types go, they tend to have a smattering of Shamans, Wizards or Clerics, so i've decided to group them into one organized group. Edit: Thanks for reminding me for artist credit, had it, but forgot to add it. |

The main fantasy races that we are missing in mtg is halfling. One may argue that kithkin are the magic equivalent of halfling, but I don't quite feel that's true. I bet that sooner or later wotc will introduce this creature type as well. Here's my entry, taken directly from the set I'm working on! (You can find it in the Showcase section: Go check it out!)    |

Battlefield Bloater    Creature--Goblin Wizard Artisan  Haste
Skulk (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power.)
Other creatures you control have skulk.
Whenever Battlefield Bloater attacks, creatures defending player controls get +3/+0 until end of turn. --------------------------------------- Most worlds would consider the very idea of a Goblin as a chef to be repugnant. Oraluri isn’t most worlds. 3/2
We have Artificer, but why not any types for other art/craft jobs? Artisan can cover anything from the painter, to the sculptor, to the chef, and everything in between. |

"The end of the world? Does it really matter anymore? If I succeed, no one will care because the world will have begun again. If I fail, I don't care wether this world survives or not." Noximillian the Clockmaker - legendary creature - cyborg wizard - [1]{U}{b}
prowess
whenever a creature dealt damage by Noximillian the Clockmaker dies this turn, put a charge counter on Noximillian the Clockmaker.
remove 20 charge counters from Noximillian the Clockmaker: restart the game with Noximillian the Clockmaker in play.
2/2

Basically, if I can own a card that has the type printed on it, you can't use that type, even if the Oracle text is different or it's not legal to play.

I am surprised that we still don't have any creatures with the Bard subtype! The closest thing we have is Yisan, who is a Rogue. I like the precedent that Yisan set, where "Bards" as a tribe could use verse counters in some way. On top of that, Sagas seem like a fitting thing for Bards to care about, so I designed a commander that would use both mechanics. |

I am going with
"Athlete"
which i think should be a creature type and would have a good amount of design space.

I've always thought Merchant would be an interesting creature type to add to the game, but I never quite figured out how it could work mechanically.
I ended up creating barter, an ability inspired by the Tempt cycle from Commander 2013. You offer each opponent a nice thing, and then you get a nice thing for every opponent who accepted the offer.
It's a very political ability, and it really only makes sense in multiplayer formats, so I could see it being used in a set like Commander Legends.

 It's not too special, but I'd say it should be a possible creature type. Along with Coral Barrier being errata'd of course. |
