Make an 'Intro Pack Rare'! (Judging over! Please claim you prizes if you've won any!)
-DISCLAIMER-
This is my first contest, so I'm not expecting many to enter. I'm not very good at this so give me any advice you have on I how I could improve in the future. Thanks!
Back when Intro Packs were still a thing they all contained two rares which most of the time were trash, now with Intro Packs no longer being a thing, sometimes we look at a card and think to ourselves "Ugh, an Intro pack rare." Or maybe that's just me.
Examples of proper Intro pack Rares:
Examples of new cards that feel like they would be Intro Pack Rares if Intro packs were still a thing:
So, the objective of this contest is to make a card that feels like it would be an intro pack rare.
Requirements:
It has to be rare. (duh)
It has to be new.
Recommendations:
Make it focus around a mechanic or keyword.
Make it simplistic. (It's meant for new players to understand.)
Make it have a relatively high mana cost. (Around 3 or more.)
Make it monocolor (Used to be requirement)
Don't make it too weak, it should still feel like a rare, just a bad one.
Prizes: (Will only be given out if 5 or more people enter.)
1st: A follow and 5 likes on 5 cards of yours.
2nd: 4 likes on 4 cards of yours.
3rd: 3 likes on 3 cards of yours.
If I'm following you and you get 1st, we can discus something else in addition to the 5 likes.
Judging:
I'm judging on how much it feels like an Intro Pack Rare /10,
Art, flavor and formatting /5
and Creativity /5
Entry limit is 5.
The contest should end at the end of the month, may be earlier depending on how many people enter.
Have fun!

Because i'm thinking this would be an entire deck based around the 'consume' mechanic, with this dude at its head:

I believe the cards have to be monocolored?

Ehh? Ehhhh?
I will point out that some of the intro pack rares were decent cards. (I personally like intro packs better. Although I will say a couple have seen modern play.)
Additionally, I updated my Faerie Muncher (see above), thanks to @Faiths_Guide's help =D
Even gave him a crappy one-liner
