Thanks, I thought of the idea when I imagined a Demon not wanting to be evil. I have an idea for a card I want to make as an example. I'm just having a hard time finding the artwork.
Hopefully I'll see an entry from you as well.
Anyways, I wanted to post a quote I wrote because I can't get enough of it.
"I found in myself what I sought in another. Just
to find a much better lover! So I dined on the fruits
forbidden to man and found who I am."

Who knows maybe I'll have a short challenge themed around it soon! Wink, wink.
Rules didn't say anything about humor or un cards not being allowed, and I had a hell of a time finding this art surprisingly, so I hope u accept this @murkletins!
I'll accept that for sure. You found my weakness! XD
not quite sure if i got it right though
How about this? I think it might be worded a little weird...
I'll accept it.

Is this evil enough?
2nd entry, depicting some kind sneks. I know snakes aren't necessarily evil, but most cultures traditionally view them as such.

Don't know if this counts but here's everything about this: In the story of Aether Revolt, Yahenni is at death's door, and theres a consulate enforcer beating up his friend. He responds to this by draining his life force, this both gave him more time to live and saved his friend. After this he drains people from the Consulate because they are bad so even though his power is evil, he wants to be and is a good guy so thats my reasoning for that.
The reason for him being a Planeswalker is a fun story. He and a couple other Aetherborn were cornered by brutes from the Consulate, while they were beating up the Aetherborn, Yahenni was able to drain all 6 people's life forces. The pain and death he felt during this encounter caused his Planeswalker spark to ignite and he was transported to Ixalan (After the immortal sun left the plane. This is about the time Huatli visited Kaladesh.) After helping fend off a rampaging dinosaur and getting his bearings, he was able to planeswalk back to Kaladesh. He also learned to harness Aether from the blind eternities and give himself life which means he doesn't have to drain people as much.
