@Mila I'd like to replace "Angelic Guardians" (as it isn't a creature) with this: Intended for a Grixis Unearth strategy using lots of Hellspark Elementals.
Here are my new entries. The three gods would have weird subtypes but there isn't room. The creatures you need for them to be creatures would be the subtypes if there was room.
Ok, boys and girls. I'll start judging today and let you know, who won about tomorrow I guess. Same old thing so far: I enjoyed all your great and really creative entries. That's what I love about making contests. Choosing the winners feels less good, since I don't want anybody to feel like he or she 'lost' because you are all far from that. No more entries please, but watch out for a new contest to come, if you missed this one.
OK, you had to wait for quite a while, but now, I am ready for judging. Here are the winners:
1st: Chosen of Todir by @TenebrisNemo That's what I wanted to see. Fungus Knight is a great combination and i enjoy the mechanics. You deserve being seen among the top three.
2nd: Beckett Brass' Familiar by @Bellycuss Another card, I loved to see. The great artwork and the combination of creature types together with the rules text makes this cart quite flavorful. I can see that little guy stealing stuff from his opponents, biting their fingers, if they don't give him, what he wants. And it's a pirate bird! I love it.
3rd: Host of Neheb by @Faiths_Guide This card is one I'd like to play in several of my decks, especially thinking of my minotaur tribal deck. Seems to be realistic and flavorful, well chosen artwork and cool mechanic. I'd not ask any questions when finding this one in a booster.
Since I found even more cards, I'd love to give credit to than in the other contests, I made, here are some honorable mentions. What a pitty, there can only be three top three. Choosing them over so many other cards really isn't easy for me, so I hope, you all feel apreciated.
All honorable mentions may choose a card to get a favorite.
Celestial Unicorn by @Corwinnn It's an Angel Unicorn! To make decisions even harder, I even like, what this card does... Not having this among the top three was partly motivated by knowing, that Corwinn knows, he's a great cardsmith and we all love and respect him I wanted to give the credit of being top three to other great cardsmiths
Cladecall Titan by @Beeswax Another great card that really fits this contest. Very green and well balanced. Unfortunately, I found so many good cards, this one has to be content with an honorable mention.
Strange Companions by @ningyounk Very flavorful and playable. It's also well fitting with color identity and the chosen set. That's why I think, this card is really great. I have nothing more to say.
Rotflesh Slime by @Stormtide That's card I'd like to have in my zombie tribal deck. I love the mechanic 'cause it seems to be exactly my style of playing. I'd even download it to use it as a custom card to try it in a deck, if you don't mind.
Spider Cart by @koover Spider Construct Horror! That's really one of the most creative cards I saw here. I enjoyed seeing, it has reach to embrace it's spider part and it is colorless for being a construct. Quite powerful, but it's power comes with the fitting mana cost. That makes this card another candidate for top three, that missed being among them by a hair.
Gozo, The Cursed Vizier by @Beydin13 I like the synergy with plaeswalkers and the option to return it from the graveyard, wich makes this card very playable, especially in current standard in my oppinion. Again, well chosen creature type combination and a perfect color identity match. Good work!
Well, that's it for now, You see, I sticked to a quite subjective way of judging and hope, nobody feels like being treated unfair. This contest was the hardest to judge for me so far, because I tried to take your creativity as well as the mechanical quality, flavor and the 'realisticness' into account. Thank you all for entering
Oh cool, second place! I really liked this contest, it'd be awesome to see more like this one in the future. I always have fun making interesting cards.
@Mila Looking at prizes: You can favorite whatever cats... I mean cards you find interesting and cool!

Btw, nice cards
Yes, this card's set symbol should resemble "dragon horns".
i.e. Sarabel would be a Cat Stag God.
*Almost* forgot about this contest but nope ;p More seriously, just checking if everything is alright ^^
