Negative Stats Contest!
First off, I want to say that from now on I WILL be judging all of my contests. I am very sorry anyone who entered in my older contests. I WILL also be judging those within a week.
Moving on, I am making a contest of an idea that wizards HAS printed cards for before, and that is cards with NEGATIVE POWER AND/OR TOUGHNESS! Here are the printed examples:
Negative power:

Negative power and toughness:
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=73928
As you can see, wizards has these cards in Future Sight and Fifth Dawn, not exactly new sets.
Your challenge here is to make a card with negative power, toughness or both.
I will also allow 0 TOUGHNESS, but making it negative is more towards the contest's idea.
THE example of 0 toughness:

Your card may not have an unconditional enter the battlefield effect, like hydras sometimes do. It may also not have a buff effect similar to "Gets +1/+1 for each nonbasic land you control."
The maximum entries per cardsmith is 3.
First place will get 5 favourites and a follow.
Second place will get 4 favourites.
Third place will get 3 favourites.
I will favourite any card I like that is entered.
The winners choose which cards I favourite.
Yes, you may make it a noncreature card that becomes a -1/-1 creature, or something like that.
Let me know if I missed out on anything.
Have fun and happy cardsmithing!

My first contest entry!
I think this is a really neat design, it has a lot of risk in it, but it could potentially be a nice payoff. What do you think?
if it weren't for the "target-sac".
This is my entry, let me know what you would change
Sorry, didn't know
If a creature with a negative toughness is put onto the battlefield with Ninjitsu, so it's after a creature is unblocked, would the damage resolve first or would that creature die?
No one dare copy my idea!
