Pun challenge! Create a pair of cards whose names are both a group of animals and something else.
For the challenge, choose a group of animals (there is a handy list at Animal Groups) and create two cards: one that is a creature card and one that is a noncreature spell that plays up the pun. (For example, Murder of Crows: Destroy target Bird creature.) You can redo an existing Magic card, but try not to do the same name as someone else.
Herd of Herring (Doesn't fit the letter of the challenge, but I felt was close enough to the spirit to post here rather than Cards with no Home.)
Charm of Hummingbirds which... may be a pun or not.
Entmoot

Magic has done a few of these before: Brood of Cockroaches, Crash of Rhinos, Crowd of Cinders, Crush of Wurms, Drift of Phantasms, Drove of Elves, Flock of Rabid Sheep, Flow of Maggots, Fog of Gnats, Gang of Devils, Gang of Elk, Horde of Boggarts, Mass of Ghouls, Murder of Crows, Plague of Vermin, Pride of Lions, School of Piranha, Skitter of Lizards, Swarm of Rats, Veil of Birds, and Wake of Vultures.
Excellent challenge, and excellent link. There's a cornicopia of crazy collective animals in there. I chose An Implausibility of Gnus and Gulp of Swallows.
