Could use something like this maybe? or maybe some kind of bug by itself. Feel free to mix it up
I gave the Licid's mechanic a keyword. it saves some text space.
Parasitism {cost} ({cost}, {t}: This creature loses this ability and becomes an Aura enchantment with enchant creature. Attach it to target creature. You may pay {cost} to end this effect.)

"#5 - Biggest Mistake - Mechanics - Too Confusing in the Rules - Licids
As I've mentioned before, the licids have caused so many rules headaches, the rules team has a running joke to stop acknowledging they exist. The major problem with them is that changing back and forth between two different card types (especially where one is a local effect) opens a can of ugly worms.
While design still experiments with virgin design space and even occasionally sticks its toe into card type changing effects, we have learned to talk to the rules people much earlier in the process."
That's Mark Rosewater speaking on Licids. Here's the link to the full article:

I guess my hat's in the ring now since I posted this, this will be a challenge to make a worthwhile Licid. The Licids submitted already are pretty darn good if you ask me.
HMs: Channeling Licid, Illusionary Licid
3rd: It That Consumes The last ability is definitely my kind of play. I love how you created a keyword for the Licid ability! It would be neat to see this in a enchantment tribal deck.
2nd: Graverot Licid Powerful! I like it!
1st: Grave Licid This one was incredibly creative and my personal favorite! The original card was great but got even better after you edited it. Well done.
@Faiths_Guide Thanks! My neighbor would love that card.
@Ranshi922 Being a nerd is awesome!
@sanjaya666 Sorry it was too difficult to find a fitting art, thanks for commenting though.
@DeepSky Awesome cards
@Tomigon Thanks! One of those many cards that would inspire an entire deck lol
@Revan Thanks! I "see" what you did there.
@spookoops Thanks for entering!
@ThatOneCat Thanks! Don't worry about typos, even if you miss something, you can always "edit" the card by simply creating it again. There are some cards I've made that I've republished about 10 times!
@fiskerton I've actually seen that one before. It's really cool but maybe a tad too slow? Thanks!
@sorinjace Haha! Aliens is such a great movie!
@TenebrisNemo Thanks, great as always!
Woohoooo!! Nice contest! I wish I could make more, but it was difficult to find a good art for Licid.
