Comments
Pounce (Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, that creature loses first strike and double strike until end of turn.)
Pickpocket by Teacup
Pickpocket N (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, reveal the top card of that player's library. If it's a nonland card with converted mana cost N or less, you may cast it without paying that card's mana cost.)
Reckless by strongbelieves
Reckless (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, it gets +1/+0 until end of turn.)
-TheMechanix version
Reckless (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Spirit by ZendikarIncarnate
Spirit (When this creature dies, if it is not a Spirit, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. It becomes a Spirit in addition to its other types and gains flying.)
@STORMBREATH'S THOUGHT: a better keyword for Spirit would be Restless
Filch by Faiths_Guide
Filch N (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may draw N cards.)
-TheMechanix version
Filch [Cost] (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may pay [cost]. If you do, draw a card.)
Scurry by LukeMTG
Scurry (Whenever this creature attacks, choose a creature defending player controls. This creature can't be blocked by the chosen creature.)
Storm-riding by aus10krews
Storm-riding (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gains first strike until end of turn.)
Lone by DanDanDio, modified by TheMechanix
Lone (At the beginning of your end step, exile this creature, then return it to the battlefield under the control of the player chosen at random.)
Witness by obsidianhoax, modified by TheMechanix
Witness (When this creature dies, if it's not a token, you may create a colorless Prophecy enchantment token. It has all abilities of this creature and "When you create another Prophecy, sacrifice this enchantment".)
Warcry by epson777341
Warcry (Whenever this creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it. At the beginning of your end step, if it didn't attack this turn, remove a +1/+1 counter from it.)
Assault by JAM
Assault (Whenever this creature attacks, you may remove this creature from combat and have it fight target creature. If you do, that creature can't block this turn.)
Tactical by PhDJamesauce
Tactical N (Whenever this creature blocks, it gets -N/+N until end of tun.)
I think the cards can be any color. Color bleed sometimes happen in real cards too when they use nonevergreen mechanics like unearth, phyrexian mana, investigate..
@shadow123
No. Tribute isn't triggered ability. Triggered abilities always start with "When", "Whenever" or "At the beginning of...."
I used the following ..
Witness by obsidianhoax, modified by TheMechanix, Redubbed and tweaked by me to Simulacrum
Spirit by ZendikarIncarnate , Redubbed Wraith by me.
Third Entry
I included Storm-riding by aus10krews, slightly tweaked by me (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gains first strike until end of turn.) It seemed like flying should be part of it for thematic reasons.
Fourth Entry
I used the following...
Resist by Lastjustice
Resist *color/type* (Prevent all damage from a*insert type* source dealt to this creature.)
Warcry by epson777341, redubbed Bloodlust by me.
Assault by JAM
I used the following
Flagbearer , an old mechanic I just named as a keyword with some help from @Tomigon rather than have it as a creature type as seen here. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=413548
Reckless by strongbelieves-TheMechanix version
Reckless (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Tactical by PhDJamesauce
Sixth Entry
Pact by Lastjustice
Lone by DanDanDio, modified by TheMechanix. Redubbed by me Wayward, which means difficult to control or predict because of unusual or perverse behavior. That fits this mechanic much better.
I used the following:Pounce by Mila (Edited by TheMechanix) and Scurry by LukeMTG
Pickpocket by Teacup
Using the Pickpocket mechanic by @Teacup:
I used Lone by DanDanDio, modified by TheMechanix redubbed Wayward by me.
Lone (At the beginning of your end step, exile this creature, then return it to the battlefield under the control of the player chosen at random.)
Divine by Lastjustice
Tenth Entry
I used Psychic by Lastjustice
Psychic (If this creature would deal combat damage to a player, instead that player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.)
Filch by Faiths_Guide / Modified by me since it wouldn't work with psychic in it's base form.
Filch N (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may draw N cards.)
@Scott_Anderson They compile the names from the Mechanix Encyclopedia thread. http://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/225/mechanic-encyclopedia-for-all/p1
Each set is for the contest is selected by the judge I believe from that list. They will keep creating new mechanix contests for as long as this site exists. (So at some point will legitly be 84 years ago heh.)
I used the following
Pounce by Mila (Edited by TheMechanix)
Magnitude by Lastjustice
Magnitude N (If you pay N when casting this spell, it can't countered or targeted of a spell or ability an opponent controls on the battlefield unless that player pays N or the effect is countered. Put N +1/+1 counters on it when it enters the battlefield.)
I used the following...
Assault by JAM
Assault (Whenever this creature attacks, you may remove this creature from combat and have it fight target creature. If you do, that creature can't block this turn.)
Reckless by strongbelieves-TheMechanix version
Reckless (Whenever this creature is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Warcry by epson777341- Redubbed Bloodlust by Lastjustice
Warcry (Whenever this creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it. At the beginning of your end step, if it didn't attack this turn, remove a +1/+1 counter from it.)
I changed the assault mechanic a little bit. You need to pay something for the effect.
Assault {cost} (Whenever this creature attacks, you may pay its assault cost and remove it from combat. If you do, target creature can't block this turn and this creature fights that creature.)
Using the warcry mechanic by @epson777341:
Using the tactical mechanic by @PhDJamesauce
I used Pickpocket by Teacup, Restless by ZendikarIncarnate, Filch by Faiths_Guide, Witness by Obsidianhoax, Warcry by epson777341, Assault by JAM, and Tactical by PhDJamesauce, and Storm-riding by aus10krews.
Reworded Witness as (When this creature dies, if it's not a token create Prophecy, a legendary colorless enchantment token with all other abilities of this creature.) so the Prophecy token didn’t copy the Witness ability and you can choose which prophecy to keep if you have 2.
Reworded Assault to include a reflexive trigger so the defending creature can still block if the creature with assault is killed/bounced with the Assault trigger on the stack.
Using the Loan mechanic by @DanDanDio
Another different version of assault:
Assault (Whenever this creature attacks, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, you may remove it from combat. If you do, target creature can't block this turn and this creature fights that creature. When that creature dies this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
