Giant Creature Challenge
Everyone knows Emrakul... if you play MTG, you really should. Known for being a massive baddie and the strongest of the Eldrazi Titans, who wouldn't? Not only that, but Emrakul has possibly two of the coolest cards- who does't like a 15/15 flying creature? You know, I like big creatures in general- they are rather fun. So I have a challenge for y'all- create a create that costs a lot of mana, but under 18 mana.
RULES:
1. Must be logical. No 100/100s or any crap like that.
2. No cheating on mana- it has to be hardcasted for it's cost. Although Emrakul, the Promised End has cost reduction, that's not what I am looking for.
3. Make it FLAVORFUL! If you can, add some background to the card. Make it make SENSE. For example, Emrakul, the Promised End lets the caster take over the opponent's turn, as if twisting it's mind to obey it's command. Flavor!
3. JUST CREATURES.
4. I will state it again- keep it balanced. Look at some high mana cost cards if you need examples. Don't copy though.
5. STAY ORIGINAL. Don't use other MTG creatures for your card- use your own original creature and idea.
6. MUST BE 7 MANA OR MORE. And under 18 mana.
7. Everyone can enter up to 3 CARDS. Any more and... get out.
I will start judging on August 4th.
First place gets 5 favorites split upon 5 cards they own.
Second place gets 3 favorites.
Third place gets 1.
To be honest, I am terrible with prizes.
UPDATE: Only 3 cards per contestant.

I suppose I meant to say sacrifice a creature other than World Eater.
Based on:
I stand by the fact that this card does not use cost reduction, simply because Sacrificing lands is an additional cost and not a cost reduction.
A ramp nightmare. I built this card to play in an Omnath, Locus of Rage edh deck centered around landfall. Theoretically, in that deck, this would drop somewhere around turn 8 or 9 or earlier if you're really good. The fact he makes your lands 5/5 elemental and dragon creatures with flying means he basically ends the game. I think that's why he's relatively weak in reference to his power-toughness cause like, Ulamog is beast and for 10 mana you get a 10/10. I really love this card

And this is a character I've made a lot of, and though this card has a lot of power behind it, you only get three turns with it, so don't be afraid to use him
Based as much as possible on the original Yhorm. Could maybe make some good use of trample, but I'm hesitant in adding it due to the massive amounts of damage dealt by him.
--EDIT-- added card picture
Just to clarify - something with delve or convoke, etc. wouldn't qualify?

This guys brings something entirely different to the game. While he is out on the battlefield, nothing can die. All creatures will either remain on the battlefield, or be exiled. No middle ground. It is kind of unique too, because if you end up flipping well for the enemy but badly for you, this creature can almost work more in the opponent's favor than yours. He makes the field of battle much more random, and one coin flip can change the entire game.
