CONSUMING CONTEST!! (Ongoing)
Hey everyone!
I've decided to make a contest (its my first one) because of a new mechanic that I've been working on.
The original mechanic was created by BlueDrake77 and I gave some feedback and helped him improve it. Here's the basic gist of what 'Consume' does:
Consume 1 ({t}, sacrifice a nontoken creature: Put a +1/+1 counter on (this creature) and create a black 0/1 skeleton creature token.)
So of course there is Consume 2, 3, 4, e.t.c, e.t.c.
What do you think of the consume mechanic? Should we change it, make it better, weaker, cooler looking? Have we got the text right?
I want you to make some cards with the Consume mechanic, whether it be the version we gave you here or a different version of the mechanic that you like better. Here are some more examples that have the Consume mechanic on them:

RULES:
1. Max 3 cards per smith.
2. Has to have the Consume mechanic on it. (you can change it up if you want to)
3. Judging based on balance, looks, flavour and creative use of the Consume mechanic.
PRIZES:
I will favourite all cards posted here with the consume mechanic, and I also might announce winners sometime in the future.
If you have any other questions just ask them in the post below!

So if you don't have Vortex Demon out this does what?
Your Mechanic should be more like this...
Consume 1 ({t}, sacrifice a nontoken creature: Put a +1/+1 counter on [This Creature] and create a 0/1 black Skeleton creature token.)
This creature does not have consume but needs something with consume for its ability.
You never know when you need a lowly drain spider. It can get strong however...
Then I changed it to just a number that is equal to how many +1/+1 counters get put on as well as a tap.
But I guess you could make a different version of Consume like that.
Here is a card with consume for 0 +1/+1 counters!
Also, we( @Swegboss12 and me, the proud creators of the consume mechanic) would like it if anyone to put in some non-consume cards, but with abilities which work well with this ability.
