Using my version of Revan's custom mechanic Mount, which Tommia helped to adjust.
Original: Mount [cost] ([cost]: Attach this creature to another creature you control. It can't attack or block.)
My version: Mount 'creature type' [cost] ([cost]: If this creature isn't mounted, put this creature over target unmounted 'creature type' creature you own, mounting it until either leaves the battlefield. This creature can't attack or block for as long as it's mounted.)
Bestower of Authority by @jiklemania2 (+1/4 cp) First of all, this is a color pie break. Black card draw effect should cost you your life or your creature's life. But I chose to pick this card as the first place because the idea is very creative!
2nd place "Renew // Awaken" by @shadow123 Adding search effect to restore is a nice idea. It feels slightly black though, because it can basically bring creature back from your graveyard to the battlefield.
3rd place
"Dragonfire Marksman" by @TenebrisNemo I like the adjustment you and @Tommia did! It's a little wordy but at least it's not banding!
@joemamajoe , Usearname is correct. Both sides essentially reanimate a creature card, although it is much, much more inefficient. I thought it would be okay, but I guess that's what caused my card not to win.
@joemamajoe how? Black tends to get less boardwipes than white as a rule, and when it does it usually kills smaller creatures, see ritual of soot. the returning of creature cards could be black, but white also does reanimate and cares about creatures with power 2 or less, see mentor of the meek
@Tomigon - Thanks for the 3rd place! I was a little afraid to touch mount mechanic, but I'm glad Tommia helped me out! Now I think I like it so much that I want to use it now and then!
In any case, I would like to choose these two mechanics for future challenges. I chose them when I got the 1st place last time, and just want to mention them again in hopes that they get picked soon!
"Dauntless" by @Jonteman93! Dauntless - if an opponent controls more creatures than you, (effect…) Dauntless - (effect) as long as an opponent controls more creatures than you. Dauntless - [Cost]: (effect). Activate this ability only if an opponent controls more creatures than you.

This is true. English isn't my first language so I got it wrong the first time.
Hexshield [Cost] (This permanent has hexproof. Any player may pay [Cost] anytime to remove hexproof from it until end of turn.)
That makes the mechanic a little different.
The wording I put on the list uses the template of Leonin Arbiter, fyi.

Edit: Slightly changed the wording on the last ability AND changed from Orzhov colors to Rakdos colors.
Entry#1, utilizing Rebirth by Suicidal Deity
Entry#2: Utilizing ephemeral by Beeswax (and my wording update.)
Entry #3: Utilizing hexshield by Pepperoni
Entry #4, utilizing animosity by Tomigon
Entry #5, utilizing animosity by Tomigon
Hope any of ya'll enjoyed any of these!
I'm going to judge tomorrow at this time. So you have 24 hours to enter.
I edited it a little so that you could choose what type of cards to shuffle into your library.
This took time to make, but here it is!

@jiklemania2, @shadow123, @TenebrisNemo , each of you can choose up to two custom mechanics for future challenges. Pick any mechanics you can find in Mechanic Encyclopedia for ALL or Tome of TheMechanix, or you can make new mechanics! Comment on this thread or send me PM. If you don't want to choose, that's also ok!
@jicklemania2 Congrats on your victory!

"Fast" by me! (Creatures with first strike, double strike, or haste are fast.)
