@bnew07 Very nice entries! I know this sounds like a very minor issue, but you can't make my backstab mechanic say "target". Static ability can't target creatures. If you want to make it target creatures, you have to change something so that the ability uses stack. Like this: Backstab N (Whenever this creature attacks and isn't blocked, you may put N -1/-1 counters on target creature defending player controls. If you do, this creature assigns no combat damage this turn. )
@bigbadbooknerd Which discussion are you talking about? There's no Corwinnn's mechanics in this challenge. Read THIS thread again from the first comment.

Modified to gain abilities of all permanents with hivemind counters instead of just creatures.
Backstab
Modified as a triggered ability to target the backstabbed creature.
Archery
Berserk
Changed name from "Rush" for better flavor and to distinguish it from Dash and modified
sacrifice trigger to occur at the end of combat.
Morphkicker
Chose to use as an unnamed keyword for better comprehension and more text space.

I feel like @Sorinjace might enjoy using this...

Thanks for letting me know, I did not know that. I have edited my entries accordingly.
Haven't done one of these in a while
Feels a bit clunky, so if anyone's got suggestions, lemme know.
MY entry
Aegis N- by LastJustice.
That's a cool card. But we can only use mechanics in this list:

I took the freedom and edited Holy shield to work on an enchantment.
I know which ones you mean, were spamming my cards, thanks for removing them! XD.
