Underused Creature Types Challenge **Circuit Challenge**
This is pretty simple. To enter, you comment saying you want to join. Then, I give you a creature type that isn’t used much in Magic. Then, you make a legendary creature as a tribal commander for that type. Here’s an example.
@AboveAndAbout: Hi, I would like to join.
Me: Okay, make a tribal commander for Frogs.
AboveAndAbout: Awesome! I’ll get right on it.
On February 6th, I’ll judge each card and post the top four cards. The prizes are as follows:
Other Honorable Mentions - 1/4 CP
4th - One favorite of their choice and 1/4 CP.
3rd - Two favorites of their choice and 1/2 CP.
2nd - Two favorites of their choice, 3/4 CP and one follow.
1st - Three favorites of their choice, 1 CP and one follow.

Yes, the flavor text is a spin on the three little pigs.
@Usaername You got Plant. I dunno how you’re going to do that, but good luck.
@ChoyBoi Yours is Gnome.
@TenebrisNemo Sweet! Yours is Crocodile.
@Rayne-Lord You got Shark. This will be interesting.
@SpellPiper2213 Your commander will be Whales.
My entry (token for fun):
@Red_Tower Lamia. One of the most underused creature types in all of magic, even though it’s basically the same as Naga.

@FireOfGolden Raccoon. This has literally only ever been used on one card, and it’s an un-set. Good luck.
It's kinda challenging, but I did it!
I noticed that, for the most part, Advisors typically have support abilities rather than game-winning abilities so I wanted to boost their effects through their commander. Also, Advisors tend to have either a static ability, a triggered ability, or an activated ability so copying most easily works with the flavour of their counsel gaining traction through the one they advise. Finally, as Advisors don't have stats that make them fit for combat, an alternate win condition is helpful for that tribe when you're not milling your opponent out. The flavour text just happens to fit perfectly.
