MTGinktober points to Day 7, "Starfish," starring Dakra Mystic, Sigiled Starfish, and Sinister Starfish!
 
 
I was so tired I literally passed out during research for this piece, so I'm definitely feeling some amount of exhaustion, though fortunately throughout the day I have enough energy, I find.  I do research at the very end of my day to prep for the next piece (after midnight, so it's fair), so it's not too big a deal collapsing then, but I did end up having to scramble a bit to get all these elements down in time.  I knew I wanted Dakra Mystic to be weighing the two Starfish, but then I guess the nap gave me time to think of some additional material, too. 
 

Fun Facts:  Everyone debuts, including some help from the top rope--Caetus, Sea Tyrant of Segovia, who ticks another "Expression of Magic," as a Battle creature, so with that, I'm pretty sure I've drawn every "real" card type, but does it count if it's not literally a Battle?  Also, this piece is reminiscent of "Deep," which reminds me that this year's prompts have been mercifully pretty good about not being super repetitive like last year's.
 

 Easter Eggs:  I knew I didn't want to star our currently only actual legendary Starfish, Plagon, Lord of the Beach, but we managed to work him in as an onlooker steamed at getting overlooked.  Also, tricky weaseling my signature as some of the sigils.

Not normal,
