Create new Evergreen keywords!
Hi. This is my first post (just so you know).
Every color has keywords, and nearly every color combination has keywords as well. I'm challenging you to come up with an entirely new evergreen keyword for any color combination you'd like. Izzet? Sure! BUG? Why not! White-Blue-Black-Red? Nothing's stopping you! Mono-red? Mono-yeah! As a "prize", I'll try to make a card for every color-combination and use what I think are the best keywords in each color combination. (After all, this is a kind of group effort, so there can't be a "one best keyword")
RULES:
Don't make a keyword for an ability that already exists that isn't a keyword. (i.e. Don't make "mill N" or "bounce" for mono-blue or "offender" for things like Risen Executioner)
You must state the keyword ability, what it does, and what color combination it belongs in.
You can only post three separate keywords.
Try not to make your abilities too overpowered.
Example: Recycle N (Return up to N creatures from your graveyard to your hand.) for Black/Green. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mark-of-the-golgari
This contest will be closed on the first day of March.
Best of luck! Also, bonus points if you give a card with that ability. (The bonus points won't help you win, but they're nice to have.)

Is it good this time? (Sorry, I'm really not good at English.)
Btw, do you accept old keywords made before this contest? I have a bunch
http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Tomigon/sets/1178
But note that if you accept them, that means we can submit all of these keywords.

Maybe put a limit for submission?
For red and green ;
Fierce (Whenever this creature attacks the player with the most cards in his or her hand, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)

Unlike keyword abilities, keyword action is used in many different ways.
For example, detain usually have targets, but proliferate doesn't. And scry is very unique one because it has a number after the word.
Adding number after "excavate" sounds interesting. I don't have any idea of how that effect is going to be though. Adding a land an additional type (Mine) is the main concept of my excavate ability. So my idea doesn't need number after the keyword.
My idea of excavate is only for mountains, but that is because I thought the word "excavate" is for mining or something. "Excavate" is new English word for me and I don't know how it is used. Is it like making a tunnel underground? If that word can be applied to other lands, you can make
"Excavate target land. (Put a tunnel counter on it. It becomes a tunnel in addition to its other types.)"
..Then you can make cards that can interact with tunnel.
