Unique Tribal Cards
For this challenge, you will need to make a unique, different tribal card (A card that buffs a certain creature type). To enforce this uniqueness, I have created this set of rules for your cards to follow:
• It can't have any sort of passive power/toughness buff. (So no "Zombies get +1/+1" effects)
That's not too hard, is it?
Here are some general rules:
• You are allowed to change your card any amount before the contest ends
• You can only use a new, original card that you made
• You may only enter three cards to the contest
The cards will be judged on:
1. Balance
2. Uniqueness (How different the card is from the typical tribal card)
3. Flavor (Not the flavor text, just how well the abilities fit with the name and abilities and stuff like that)
4: Artwork
Rewards:
1st place: A follow, a favorite on 5 cards of your choice, and you may choose an entry for me to make an Honorable Mention.
2nd Place: A follow and a favorite on 4 cards of your choice.
3rd Place: A follow and a favorite on 3 cards of your choice.
4th Place: A follow and a favorite on 2 cards of your choice.
Honorable Mentions: A favorite on 2 cards of your choice.
Have Fun and Happy Cardsmithing!

It does buff insects, but it's not a passive buff so I think it fits within the rules of this contest. I hope.

Does this qualify?

Hopefully this works.

I know that other cards have been named Nicol Bolas, Plainswalker on this site, and 1 even used this art, but none are as much a Plainswalker as this one. Like seriously, how can it be a plainswalker if it isn't mono white?
1. Nicol Bolas shouldn't be white.
2. It's spelled "planeswalker".
1. That's the point.
2. "Plains-Walker", geddit?
3. I don't know if you are trying to be funny, but it failed.
Technically it is all the creature types tribal, so I should win by flavor right now.
