My first submission includes an altered version of Seppuku for the purposes of the card:
So let's unpack this card a little bit. Thundersand Elemental wants to go into an agressive R/RG Shell. I wanted to make a card that was like a powered-up Spark Elemental.
To do this, I bumped up the rarity to uncommon. I'm not counting the core set reprint of Spark Elemental as an uncommon because core sets are powered down. The Volatile ability allows your Thundersand Elemental to attack an extra time 25% of the time. You will get to ping a creature or an opponent half of the time.
The Thundersand Elemental is surely a force to be reckoned with, and I hope very much that it will be bashing heads for you in the near future.
Also, @Tomigon, you have my permission to add this card to the CS17 set if you wish, Just send me a PM if you do.
Also, Just realized, this is my 150th Unique Card on MTG Cardsmith! Hurray!
The name "Vengeful Dead" is already used in normal MTG!

... oh. crap.
I really like the flavor of paying life to do stuff, and immediately thought of blood oaths.
This equipment gets stronger whenever someone takes a blood oath "with it" and, when the oath taker dies, the promise is fulfilled:
@Corwinnn
You've headed in the right direction there!
Although I can't take all the credit for making the change, @Tomigon suggested I bump up the CMC to two mana...
A two bladed knife. Very powerful if controlled correctly, very dangerous if not:
