There's a little typo in the reminder text for lifelink. "You may that much life" I think you meant gain lol
@Corwinnn, pretend it says "gain".
I really wanted to put flavor text but even small text isn't small enough so...
A nagging feeling that something is wrong? A glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye? A faint sound that never returns? It begins with this, and the end is your death.

Judgement has commenced!
Top Cards
Sly
Sneaky Tatics by @TrippleBoggey3 - I'm only one mechanic in, and I'm already impressed. These cards all have great construction around them. I picked Sneaky Tactics because it was a really great flavor choice on the name and the decision to make it an instant!

Devout of Color
Soleon, Magma Feline by @Rednaxela - Talk about watching something get out of hand quickly! This OP mechanic produced some very violent cards! @kltmtg29 said it best in his flavor text... There is a fine line between devoted and insane. However, in the end I had to go with the most OP of them all!

Oracle
Maiden of the Crystal Ball by @OneBigBlueSky - Oracle has some really fun possibilities, and one of those was this card. The flavor combination of the art and combination of the two mechanics makes this something I want to have in a deck!

Bleed N
Wall of Blood by @Gwafa - I really love the concept of this mechanic, and I think it could easily be used as a set mechanic. Normally I'm not a fan of reused MTG Art or Reused MTG names, but I found myself entertained by this Wall of Blood makeover!

Behead
Gor, Arch-Sadist by @Monty - In true Demon fashion, this guy comes out and starts slapping your creatures around, which scares the living daylights out of your opponents creatures, plus, it's hard to argue with 13 damage!

Challenge
Cinye, the World Stag by @RohanDragoon - Challenge is another mechanic that produced some really good cards. I had difficulty narrowing this one down, and I

Doom N
Wailing Prophet by @Monty - The art and flavor really tied this card together. I really like the little guy in the sky who is leaping to his doom!

"Land Name" Hex
Hexheart Terraformer by @Monty - I have to say, of all the "Land Name" Hex cards, this one was my favorite! *Note - This was also the only entry with this mechanic!

"Creature Name" Hex

Blast
Goblin Pyromancer by @Mordecai - Yeah, a crazy red Goblin board wipe for three mana at uncommon level is insanity... but that doesn't make it any less awesome! I would say bump this rarity to Rare and lower the Blast by one and this thing is ready for Goblin Shananigans!

Extravaganza/Daze
Rider of the North Rocks by @Rednaxela - I really like the simplistic and straightforward approach on this card. While I did have a couple of decisions to make on this mechanic (I really love the renaming to "Daze" and Chorn was a super flavor Monarch), I kept coming back to this card as the one I liked the most.

Blunt Strike
Dwarven Strike Force by @Mila - Making things bigger seems to defeat the purpose of putting Blunt Strike on it, but having the ability to knock things out AND smash Artifacts is awesome!
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dwarven-strike-force
Shadowbound
Neverending Eclipse by @Monty - Shenanigans for all to be had? Well what's good about that? Everything! When I play this, I feel just like Oprah! You get a Shadow, and you get a Shadow... Shadows for everybody!!

Irate
City-Scorcher Brute by @Faiths_Guide - This dragon has a serious scorched earth policy whenever anyone even looks at it, and that's just plain fun for it's controller!

Emissary
Consulate Quarters by @Vandrek - Some really great cards from this mechanic, but ultimately I felt this card would be so much fun to play. It would speed up decks and there would always be that race to see who would end up using it to pull a creature out of the dirt!
