Create a Corrupted Creature (or one to fight corruption)
Hey guys this is my first challenge, so it may be a little strange. Let's see how it goes.
Background: The plane of Zaynoth is riddled with corruption stemming from a single laboratory mistake. Everything that is corrupted glows blue and has a cool ability.
Five color pairings are dominant on this plane:
RED/GREEN: Ferocious and always ready to fight, creatures of this color pair are ready to throw themselves into combat against the corruption. Led by Franc Shedli, The Hammer, a tough warrior that's ready to fight for his homeworld. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/franc-shedli-the-hammer?list=user
GREEN/WHITE: Steadfast and loyal, creatures of this color pair are ready to put their lives on the line to save their land and won't back down from combat. Led by Camorn Peri, The Unyielding, a strong soldier that's always willing to lend a hand. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/camorn-peri-the-unyielding?list=user
BLUE/BLACK: Twisted and glowing, creatures of this color pair are controlled solely by corruption. The corruption is spreading, so other color pairs may also have corrupted creatures. Led by Maut Davius, The Corrupted, the twisted remnants of a once powerful wizard. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/maut-davius-the-corrupted?list=user
BLUE/RED: Corruption has found its way into this color pair, but these creatures are powerful and use magic to satisfy their needs and fight the spreading plague. Led by Andru Smyth, The Lord of Flame, a powerful wizard who will burn his land to the ground in order to rid it of corruption. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/andru-smyth-lord-of-flame?list=user
RED/BLACK: Flying mightly above all else, this is the color pair for this plane's dragons. Dragons aren't kind to humans or other species, but will bury past conflicts in order to secure a safer future. Led by Dragonlord Saphron, a fierce and capricious leader, bitter at the notion of having to join with human forces to destroy the corruption of his world. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dragonlord-saphron
The other color pairs can be used, but only if you have made a creature for all the other color pairs.
Any mechanics that match a creature's color can be used. Bonus points if you use my custom mechanic Purge.
Purge X (As an additional cost to cast this creature, pay X life.)
Example here: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/corrupted-flamekin?list=user
Rules:
1- Creatures only!
2- No limit on creations per person. I'll accept anything.
3-Creatures must be corruption-themed. That is, glowing an odd color, flashy art, or just a really dedicated soldier fighting the corruption. Flavor text is a want but not mandatory.
4-No mythics please. I have enough already
5-I'll determine the winners once popularity fizzles out.
Prizes: 3 for all rarities
1st Place: 5 favorites on any cards you choose and I'll follow you.
2nd Place: 3 favorites on any cards you choose and I'll follow you.
3rd Place: 1 favorite on any card you choose and I'll follow you.
Honorable Mentions: I'll follow you.
I will include the created creature from all winners in my set. Good luck!

You can tell I like flavor text. Lol.
There's not enough room on the card for reminder text for the consumed mechanic, so here's how it works:
1. Creatures with consumed enter the battlefield consumed by evil.
2. Creatures that are consumed by evil can't attack, block or activate abilities.
3. At the beginning of the active player's upkeep, that player puts a taming counter on each creature with consumed that is consumed by evil he or she controls. Then, for each creature with consumed and that is consumed by evil he or she controls, that player may pay the creature's consumed cost, less 1 generic mana per taming counter on it. If that player does, then that creature becomes tamed.

Made a card for the basis of what I plan to make in Green/White. I thought the most fun idea for additions to the colors would be to focus on purging and life gain to complement their long-term leader.
Tireless Ambusher, a follower of Shedli. Part removal spell, part attacker.
[Edit] Oh lord I almost made a 19/19 Lifelink 1-drop. Don't hit publish before thinking of the rules, kiddos. I'm just going to leave all actual submissions in this post below here so I don't flood your board. I think this is a really fun set and I hope what I come up with can help develop it.

(I went ahead and put down an idea for a blue-red mechanic)
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/magic-drainer The flavor of Red and Blue, with a hint of darkness and evil.
@PixelKirby "The flavor of red and blue, with a hint of darkness and evil." <-Exactly
Just why is Magic Drainer a modern card with an origins set symbol?
This is the definition of broken.
Also I had always thought a drake was a big lizard, not a true dragon. Just how a wyvern isn't a true dragon.
And yes drake is another word for dragon such as Firedrake (fire drangon) etc.
