Rare Creatures
For another contest, I was looking for a creature type nobody else did and I came across a creature type with only 8 cards. Now, I didn't get an entry in on time, but I have been thinking of doing this contest ever since. So, here we have, Rare Creatures. Make a creature card of a rare creature. Ends May 19th.
Rules
1. For it to be a rare creature, there has to be less than 20 cards of them.
2. Only 1 entry.
Prizes
3rd Place: 2 favorites of choice
2nd Place: 3 favorites of choice
1st Place: A follow or 4 favorites of choice.
Here is a list of creature types and the amount. It is only up to Ixalan, so if anyone can find a more up to date list, it would be very much appreciated. http://www.smileylich.com/mtg/magocracy/Magocracy_C1.html

Specters only have 19 creatures, and are pretty under represented, given the cool abilities they all have (depends on your point of view). Decided to mix it up and make the first non-black Specter.
Ral Zarek found a Nightveil Specter while searching for the Dimir Gate and use his mana coil to supercharge his gauntlets so he could purge the black mana from the beast and replaced it with red mana. Now that it was more to his liking he could start increasing their numbers...
2 of the turtles have shroud, but that would mess up some enrage shenanigans, so I went with hexproof instead. Lots of turtles also have things to do with them attacking, and this one's a snapping turtle, so it makes sense that it would deal damage.
I wanted to make an "Eye" creature, not very many at all in the game (if you don't count Homunculus's though somewhat similar looking, they are not the same creature type.)
I know all other wraith cards had swampwalk, but i felt it didn't fit the idea i had for the card.
Sponges get no recognition - only 1 exists. This captures the idea of slowly converting your opponent's efforts into your own resources, and ultimately using them against them in a 0/5 blocker.
The idea is it eats Nothing..or in this case exiled cards. Nirvana is the state of wanting nothing, so felt like the right name for it.
Here's an Ouphe. There are 11 Ouphes in Magic. (I almost did a Gnome. There's only 8 Gnomes.)
What is a mighty archon before it choses its rider?
Don't exist any green golens, so now exist
