2nd place Morin the Prudent by @Animist http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/morin-the-prudent?list=user ^I like the character of Morin. Hahaha. It's always a pleasure to see your creature getting stronger! "Withdraw" sounds very easy to understand what it does in the combat. Simple but nicely done! He also submitted Vatha, Outcast Commander, that has the same keyword action, but I think that is a bit over powered.
4th place False Spark by @seaspray4TF3 http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/false-spark?list=user ^The Idea of the effect that transforms a creature into a planeswalker is mind-blowing. But I think the card is a bit overpowered for {u}. It is a kind of removal spell. I think it should cost 2 or more.
5th place Rix Maadi Sadist by @Animist http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/rix-maadi-sadist?list=user ^Mana ability that produces other colors mana isn't in black nor red color pie. That part is the only reason that I couldn't put this card in top 3. The idea, flavor, power balance are all beautifully designed! And I'm very happy that the card made for this challenge is featured on the front page!
1st place "Cache" by @fabiocbinbutter, featured in : http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/gaeas-confidant-1?list=user ^This card is over powered for 2 drop. If it is cost 3 or more, it is in the top 3 winning cards. But the mechanic is very interesting, and has plenty of room to expand upon the cache zone. Being creative sometimes makes the card complex and hard to understand, but this mechanic is very catchy, intriguing and fascinating. Great idea. I'd definitely like to see more iterations and/or applications of it.
2nd place "Ignite" by @seaspray4TF3, featured in http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/false-spark?list=user ^There would be many uses of this effect. Off course, you can make cards that turn your cards into a planeswalker. You can also give more loyalty abilities to the planeswalker that the creature turns into. Very interesting!
4th place "Merge" by @Gafratt0, featured in http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/technofuse-1?list=user ^The card that turns a creature into a cyborg.. what a flavor! But combining two cards into one card means; they are both removed by single removal spell; blocked by only one creature; and it gets awkward if both creature had {t} ability. I can't think of so many situations that goes well with this effect if both of combined creatures are yours. So submitted card couldn't win. But once again, flavor of is super cool!

Winning cards!

Amalia, the Mind Ablaze by @Beeswax

^I would defiantly run this card in Rakdos deck. The opponents are forced to use their card quickly, otherwise they must discard. That makes the game more aggressive, and that's the game where Rakdos rules the board. He has a whole set of gravitate ability. Let's check it out!

^I attracted by the idea that the removed card is put onto the battlefield face down. The card is very elegantly balanced.

(To apparate a card, put it on top of its owner's library, then shuffle that library.)
^Unique removing effect is put into a single word. It seems very useful!

"Hinder" by @milanaarz

^It delays your opponent's movement. Very effective especially when you are playing against tempo aggro deck. It's like a real keyword printed by WotC!
