Eldrazi Titans
I felt like making another challenge, so here it is:
Basically, you need to make another Eldrazi Titan, or an alternate version of the already existing ones. Try to make them as close to the basic ideas of Eldrazi, and try not to use non-mtg artwork. If you can't find anything to go along with Eldrazi, I'm fine with using art that is already in use and if you don't want to do that, try looking up H.P. Lovecraft monsters. There are some that really look like Eldrazi.
Contest ends August 20th, and I should post the winners around that time as well. The max number of entries is 3.
Rewards:
1st - 5 likes of their choice and a follow
2nd - 3 likes of their choice
3rd - 2 likes of their choice
Honourable Mentions - 1 like of their choice
Have fun!

This will sound dumb but I don't know how to put the image in the comment box, so here's the link.

It is unknown whether more titans exist elsewhere in the multiverse. [1] Each Titan lives outside of the planes. When one wants to feed, it extends a part of its "body" into the plane, to create a physical manifestation of itself there, as well as an army of drones that are extensions of its body and will.
The Spirit Dragon Ugin compared this to a man sticking his hand into a pool of water; the man is the Eldrazi Titan, and the water is a plane. The fish--those who dwell on the plane--see only a part of the man--his hand. Likewise, the inhabitants of a plane can see only a part of each Titan. Even if the Titans appear to be independent beings, their physical forms are just part of a greater entity outside the plane. The same is true for every drone that the Eldrazi had created; they are all just part of the Titan that made them.
Though each lineage has a distinct anatomy, each of them seem to have a commonality. A proboscis located somewhere near a joint acts as a feeding tube, attaching to a subject and draining them of life. Eldrazi proper and their infant spawns have no color alignment and the mere presence of larger Eldrazi can cause reality to dissipate. However, Eldrazi Drones born to serve the larger base species are often aligned, being few examples of the creatures that are colored. Eldrazi drones, while formidable, are not as powerful as their larger counterparts and do not have the Annihilator ability.
The progeny of Ulamog are characterized by having a bony mask over their heads, being completely featureless. They also possess writhing tentacles in addition to their aforementioned bisecting arms.
The lineage of Emrakul are perhaps the most bizarre of the Eldrazis, possessing a strange lattice-like flesh composition and being of unnatural hues (predominately of bright purples, blues and reds). Like the lineage of Ulamog, many possess tentacles seemingly for no real purpose. They have no discernible sensory organs and many do not possess conventional forms.
Those born from the lineage of Kozilek have multiple eyes all over their body (curiously, rarely on the head) and have large, black jagged plates that float around them. They are also characterized by bisecting arms which they share with the Ulamog lineage.
While the Eldrazi are genderless, lack apparent biological sex, and evidence no awareness of the concept of gender, the question of their gender, or at least proper pronouns, is a recurring topic among players.[9][10] Arguments for gendered pronouns rest largely on comparisons to the Zendikari deities they inspired, and on dimorphism between the broods.[11][12] The issue has been further muddied by inconsistent pronoun use in official sources. In particular, Emrakul has been referenced by male, female, and neuter pronouns.[13][14][15] The most recent official sources on the matter are cards from Battle for Zendikar and a blog post by creative director Doug Beyer, which agree on the use of male pronouns for Ulamog and Kozilek and female pronouns for Emrakul.[16][17][18]
While in genral unfathomable, the telepath Jace Beleren managed to communicate with a conceptualization of Emrakul within his mind while on Innistrad. The conceptualization acknowledged that she did not really realized that the telepath existed, and that what he had seen was an attempt of his mind to conceptualite something that could not be understood otherwise.[19] It is unknown if the other two Eldrazi Titans had similar means of expressing themselves.
Eldrazi are known to follow leylines to move on a plane's surface.
The Eldrazi have various means of consuming planes, that vary among broods and situations.[21]:
Ulamog and his brood leave off a white, bone or tooth-like residue.
Emrakul and her brood known to leave off yellow dust, and seemingly convert the landscape into flesh and bone. [22]
Kozilek and his brood leave behind formations that closely resemble bismuth crystals.
If too much of a plane is consumed it will break apart in a flash of light. [23]
He just basically screws up the leylines and manipulate those to bind the magic of a plane
But since that would be to boring i'll put in a new eldrazi aswell: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/eldrath-the-fifth-titan (Please note this is still a work in progress i will likely update Eldrath later.)

I probably sound like an idiot for this, but what does invert mean. Likewise with redefine. I like them though.
@Serpentail
On Malek's card, you should reword it so that it says "If Malek, Ruin Weaver would be destroyed, you may sacrifice 3 wastes and return him to the battlefield under your control." On Eldrath's card, you should say "All creatures get -1/-1 for each color in their mana cost. If Eldrath, the Fifth Titan is a creature, each creature gets -2/-2 for each color in their mana cost instead." Other than that and some capitalization errors, I think they are fine.
@ZendicarElite
Recati is good except for some capitalization and punctuation errors. Also, you don't cast tokens and creatures can't be attacked, you would reword it so that it says "Whenever Recati, Corrupter of Armies is blocked, you may exile target creature. If you do, place a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn/Scion onto the battlefield during your end stage"

Redefine N: At the beginning of your first main phase during each of your turns, you may put N cards from your graveyard or exile on top of your library. Then shuffle your library.

Eldrazi Titan that I made a few weeks ago, it's decently good, but extremely OP.
Perfect for any token deck.

My entries.Also, I know Emrakul's a bit...Strange, and very different to any other Eldrazi ever made, but I wanted to make an Eldrazi with a completely different idea. Skitheagon is pronounced Skith-ee-a-gon as well, and his flavor text (although you can't see it) is 'A creature able to corrupt time itself'.
Krolarch is not as voracious as Ulamog, nor can it disturbs reality like Kozilek or control all living like Emrakul. But it can see all past, present, and future, which allows it to prevent things from even happening.
Sorry for the big thumbnail, but the card maker of MTGCardsmith doesn't allow transparent borders, so I didn't want the "actual" version of the card to appear all tiny compared to the artifact border version ^^"
EDIT: Improved templating thanks to @Oshuja89
Here's a link if you've never tried it: http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/
check the entry's description as I explain it there. Let me know if you need any clarification!
