Lord #21: Bringer This is a tough one, as only 5 Bringers exist in a cycle from Darksteel. I like the idea of tutoring for a Bringer on upkeep, as well as copying another Bringer's ability. Here it is: Bringer of the Five Dawns      Creature - BringerTrample At the beginning of your upkeep, you may choose one - S earch your library for a Bringer card, reveal it and put it in your hand, then shuffle your library; or copy a triggered ability of a Bringer you control.
All Mirrordin has a common goal - to drive out the Phyrexians once and for all.
5/5
I would make this card legendary, but the others weren't for some reason, so I won't. I also wanted it to say "or copy target triggered ability of a Bringer you control." but that doesn't work because of stack issues.

Lord #22: Brushwagg Another tough one, as there is only one Brushwagg  . I'm going for another standard +1/+1 and one other effect lord this time, as I think it is reasonable with the specific effect. Learned Brushwagg  Creature - BrushwaggWhenever a Brushwagg you control blocks or becomes blocked, you may choose a number X which is no greater than the number of Brushwaggs you control. If you do, the creature gets -X/+X. "My training has allowed me to control the release of quills for maximum effect. My clan, you too can learn."2/2 What do you think? I hope I didn't scare anyone off with the "don't tell me about the lords WoTC has made," because I really like all your commentary.

Ursa/Urza may or may not have been on purpose, but it's hilarious either way.
Oh, man, I didn't see that at all. I meant Ursa as in the latin word for bear.
Zokorad, thanks for the list. I will check for myself at the appropriate times, but I will use the list you made as a starting point. I want to make things clear: I have not crossed out all types with lords, just those I have decided not to do because they already had lords.
Lord #20: Boar
The average boar is 2-4 power, 2-3 toughness, 3-4 mana, and green. Trample is a quintessential Boar ability, as is self-sacrifice. However, getting your followers eaten is not very lordly, so I will not use it. Here we go:
Kernor Longtusk
Legendary Creature - Boar
Other Boar creatures you control get +2/+2 and have trample.
You can't sacrifice Boars.
For too long, we boars have been treated as meals. Today, we become an army.
3/3
Do you think it's too good? I think its fair compared to elf lords.
Boars want to be eaten, so why does the boar lord prevent that? It'd be like making an elf lord
that prevented you from adding mana generated by creatures to your mana poo. It's just not right.
Why not just...
You may pay 2G rather than sacrificing a boar creature.
or something like that, but worded correctly.

because of the flavo, boars wouldn't want to be eaten, they just are, so if the boar lord's creature type is boar, it would prevent them from being eaten, but lords are not always of the creatures type there lording, so... Master of the Feast creature-human hunter if you were to gain life from a boar creature, you gain double that life  sacrifise a boar: you gain life equal to that boars toughness

Looks like I missed a day, so I'll do two lords in this post. Wizards are the OP's example of a type that already has a lord. Instead of skipping it, I'm just going to try and do something weird. There are 477 results for the gatherer query subtype=+[wizard], so I'm going to skip the research on this one. We all know that wizards are mainly blue and they do blue things anyway. Since Wizard is so common, has some creatures that can be considered lords, and was slated to be skipped, let's break the mold completely. This "lord" isn't even a creature. Book of Secret Knowledge  ArtifactImprint --  : Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an instant card with converted mana cost 2 or less. Exile that card, and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Target wizard gains " : You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost." for as long as that card remains exiled. ----- Whales. There are three of them, and the only commonality is that they have in their mana cost. And then there's no consistency whatsoever, not even in flavor. There are a few references here and there to whales looking like or being mistaken for islands, so... silliness? Blue Whale Creature -- WhaleOther Whale creatures you control get +1/+1. Whale creatures are Island lands in addition to their other types.

Werewolves already have Howlpack Alpha  and Immerwolf  , but they haven't explored the ability of werewolves to infect others. This was probably to differentiate them from vampires, and because of the logistical issues involved with transform. 701.25a states that "Only permanents represented by double-faced cards can transform," but I think we can bend the rules a bit to allow double-faced tokens to transform, too. Unfortunately, it turned out to be really wordy. I guess that's why there aren't double-faced tokens? Wandering Recluse  Creature -- Human Werewolf: Transform ~. 1/2 Infectious WerewolfCreature -- WerewolfWhenever ~ deals damage to a non-werewolf creature, exile it at the beginning of the next end step. Its controller puts a double-faced 1/1 green human token into play with "At the beginning of each upkeep, if no spells were cast last turn, transform ~." That token's back face is a 3/3 green werewolf with "At the beginning of each upkeep, if a player cast two or more spells last turn, transform ~." : ~ deals 1 damage to target creature you control. 3/3

You do understand mine was based on Animal Farm, right?
Also, I would've given them trample, but so many of them already have trample.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

It is stunningly obvious after you point it out. I feel dumb now that I missed it  I recognized the quote, but failed to place its origin.

Weirds are a creature type that a lot of players seem to like, but I think this is because of the potential in the design space. As for a lord, there's not a lot of consistency. The flavor appears to be that weirds are some kind of result of an Izzet science experiment. Flux Accelerator  Defender Weird creatures you control get +1/+2. : Target Weird gets +X/-X, where X is its power. 2/1
