Winner is the Judge #1 (Unappreciated Creatures)
I don't know if anybody ever frequented mtgdeckbuilder.net a while back, but there was series of contests under this name. I was hoping to honor it by starting the same series here. The rules are rather simple. The winner of the previous contest creates the rules for the next one. However, some rules should stay the same throughout the series.
1). The judge cannot participate in the current contest or the next contest (This is to prevent the same people from winning all the time).
2). Cards will be graded based on realism, power (too broken/too weak), flavor, and art. Although the last two aren't nearly as important.
3). Each contest starts on Monday 12:01am Central Time (-6:00) and ends Saturday 11:59 Central Time (-6:00). This leaves a week for contestants to post their entries and a day for the judge to decide the winner(s).
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head so without further ado (yes, I spelled that right), let's begin.
This week's theme is under-appreciated creature types. Some creature types just don't get any love anymore. Here's an example for each color; Goats, Jellyfish, Skeletons, Dwarves, and Bears. You can use other creature types if you want but they can't be ones that are already popular (Aka zombies, soldiers, merfolk etc...)
Here's a few examples for skeletons;

Squidcat Horrrorscout is indeed a very underappreciated (and misunderstood) tribe. Poor Squidcat.

I'm not encouraging him. I'm encouraging myself. Brb making a card called Squidcat Horrorscout.
If you give it some good art and a different name this could be a real card!
But it doesn't have any of that junk, so ROFL!
This one is better!

- Germs don't technically exist as creatures, unless you're talking about the tokens from living weapons. Sometimes you should wonder why not have a nontoken version or something.

- This is for Corwinnn. Squirrel!

Black version of Norin the Wary. Ha ha.
I agree that skeletons haven't seen a lot of love recently, but more so than that, Cowards are only a creature type due to the fact that one card, ONLY one card has the potential to turn creatures into cowards. Truly an under appreciated creature type.
Calling Squidcats and horrorscouts underpreciated...What about SHARKS?!

ESPECIALLY LAND SHARKS!

I like Land Sharks too!

Faeries aren't really an under appreciated creature type. I mean, they popped up every so often until Lorwyn/Shadowmoor, and in that block, they were pretty good. Vendilion Clique, Oona, Bitterblossom, etc.
