-------------------------------
If you have any update idea for the mechanic, you can change it as long as it is the same concept.
You can remake your entries as many times as you like.
Reminder text isn't necessary. That's one of the good thing about keywording!

I'm making an orc deck on Cardsmith. I thought gather would be nice in this challenge. You can see the orc deck set on my profile for other cards with gather.
If the creature that gains the activated abilities is exiled then returned, does it still have its abilities?
I'd say no. Am I right @Tomigon? It's not permanently altering the rules text of the card. Just altering it as long as it stays in play.

Glow
Diving, rebranded
Binary (SCNR)
Impart
Burn
Lol, sorry! Thanks for checking out this challenge!

What @Faiths_Guide said!
@Feyamius
Cool cards! But "Limit of two cards for each mechanic." is a rule. 6 Lithleks have to escape
Your escape ability is worded as an activated ability. So it should be like
Escape [Cost] ([Cost]: Exile this creature. Return it to the battlefield tapped under your control at the beginning of the next end step.)
Lithely Hopper is the correct one.

Cool! Maybe an uncommon? The text may also look a little nicer if you put one return at the top. (If you're like me you won't remake it, but I thought I'd let you know cause I like the design!)
... seemed so appropriate.
Burn N:

Liking this dragon artwork!
I've mad a slight variation to @Beeswax's keyword for this design:
Oathbound (Whenever this creature is dealt combat damage by a creature, you may swear this creature against that creature.)--------Any damage will work, not just combat damage.

@Damnation pointed out that there was a big flaw with this one,
I could've simply pinged the dragon myself and shot down a ton of creatures!
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/living-rededuction
Cool idea! But if it completely becomes a copy, it loses Impart. It has to say "except it has impart {u}{u}"
Also, "Impart" should only work with activated abilities (the way @Tomigon designed it). You're changing it?
