Carrier is creature type originally unique to Urza's Legacy. It first existed as a vertical cycle of four black Phyrexian creatures which spread disease. Otherwise they could have been just Horrors.
The Cycle
Each of these creatures can be sacrificed to give another creature -X/-X until end of turn, where X is its power and toughness.
- Phyrexian Denouncer (1/1)
- Phyrexian Debaser (2/2)
- Phyrexian Defiler (3/3)
- Phyrexian Plaguelord (4/4)
Note
- The white card Carrier Pigeons doesn't have the subtype Carrier.
- More surprising, the black Disease Carriers from the set preciding Urza's Legacy (Urza's Destiny), with similar design, hasn't the Carrier-type either.
- The same can be remarked concerning Maggot Carrier from Planeshift.
- It would not be until Modern Horizons that another card with the subtype was seen, this being Plague Engineer.
