Artists Collide Challenge (Artist commanders, w/ Door Prizes)
The goal of this casual challenge is to make Artist creatures that can be played as commanders.
Artists should be able to bend rules and the flow of the game without being silver-bordered cards. Thus they have to bend the game in a way that is legal in each of commander, Legacy and Vintage formats.
Examples of such game altering effects are choosing what to create as tokens, copying cards, stealing text boxes, combining stuff, or even mechanics that allow you to steal stuff from another player and play with their stuff such as cards.
There are many other examples, but I'd like to keep this as free form as possible. So I will only give a few of them as references.
Requirements: (No entry limit.)
Door Prizes: In this challenge prizes aren't given for placing. Each of up to 5 semi-randomly chosen participants, will get 1 month of MTGCardsmith premium subscription. There may be more door prizes depending on the amount of participation in this challenge.

Comments
Closest to actual MTG I can think of is
Don't mind the extra Devoid on Creator, it's one of my old cards.
If that's not what you are looking for, I can try to create a legendary creature that fits more to your prompt. One question remains;
What is difference between Artist creature and creature? I made a supertype called Forgotten, it exists only in creature called "Forgotten creatures";
The difference is Forgotten creature has reminder text that goes "At beginning of your end step, put a -1/-1 counter on this Forgotten creature unless you have discarded one or more cards this turn."
If your supertype has no ability then it's like snow. Snow has no ability but still have purpose regardless, it mainly used for combs and sometimes uses snow lands as snow mana.
Not a firm restriction, and is rather just a suggestion.
Thanks for the interest in the challenge so far, it means a lot.
Contemplating two plans for this and need perspectives on which is preferred!
- 20 x 1 month subscription given to different people. (Organized through MTGCardsmith staff.)
- 7 x 3 month subscription given to different people. (No need to organize.)
Both will cost me a similar amount and as such either is viable. I'm able to afford this at that time in April, so no worries there. This will be a gift to the community I'd like to give in April as a thank you to the MTG custom card community as a whole.Feel free to let me know which option looks better in your perspective!
EDIT: I vote for the first option.

Consider this an early preview of one "partner with" commander, from a set of many!
Custom Mechanics/Keywords are as follows:
- Sublime. (Is a keyword to be detailed.)
- Painterly. (Updated.)
- Mischievious. (Updated. It's an emblem mechanic, and is similar to Monarch but more wild.)
Themes: Ideas behind this card are casting clones, Combining creatures, swappable text boxes. As well as, replacing token creation with other kinds of tokens.Note: Surreal isn't a special mechanic, it's just an identifier to help the painterly mechanic function at its best!
Lore: To come soon.
Feedback welcome as updates are made, and reminder text for mechanics are added/updated.
Comment: Yes, I use Magic Set Editor just because I like apps more than web creation. But both help for making this all possible.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but could you organize all your ideas into one comment instead of posting a lot in a row? It helps.

(Submitting an edit of an old card.)
I will admit though from your expectations based on your card posted, there isn't much gameplay warping effects going on with your entry. Overall it's up to individuals, since it at least does do a little gameplay alteration.
The other point to note is we aren't competing due to prizes not being on placing, and there being little to no reward for making the most well done card for the prompt.
In other words, this is overall just for fun.
This seems sufficiently rule-bending, but still enough within the bounds of plausibility to qualify to be black-bordered. Aleatoric is a style of music in which some element of the composition is left to chance.
