Taunt by kauyon
Taunt (Whenever this creature attacks, you choose which creatures block this creature this combat.)
Edited: The wording is fixed.
Edited: Another update
Taunt (Whenever this creature attacks, you may have any number of target creatures defending player controls block it if able.)
Unburden by Sorins_Thirst
Unburden N(This permanent enters the battlefield with N burden counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove one burden counter from it. When this permanent has no burden counters on it, it gets +N/+N.)
Imunity by stormbreath
Imunity (This permanent can't have -1/-1 counters on it.)
Growl N by DeepSky
Growl N (Creatures blocking or blocked by this creature get -N/-0 until end of turn.)
Last strike by CastorCrozz
Last strike (This creature deals combat damage after creatures without last strike.)
AUTHOR'S NOTE : I made Last Strike mainly just so those anonymous cards with "Triple Strike" could almost be plausible. As I see it:
Triple strikeby Anonymous
Triple strike (This creature deals first-strike, regular, and last-strike damage.)
Godly N by michaelmvm
Godly N (As long as your devotion to this card's colors is less than N, this isn't a creature.)
Primal by michaelmvm
Primal (Only use mana produced by basic lands to cast this spell.)
Oceanic by michaelmvm
Oceanic (This creature gets +1/+1 and can't be blocked as long as an opponent controls a basic Island.)
---@KimJongMartin's new mechanic idea:
Primitive by KimJongMartin
Primitive (This creature gets +1/+1 as long as an opponent controls a basic land.)
Basic by michaelmvm
Basic (A deck can have any number of cards named _____.)
Spite by CrucibleOfHate
Spite (This creature cannot be blocked except by creatures that share a color with it.)
Null Value by CrucibleOfHate
Null value (This card cannot be targeted by spells or abilites, or chosen by players, in any zone.)
Influence by CrucibleOfHate
Influence {_} (This _____ is influenced if {_} was spent to cast it.)
And three additional mechanics selected for this challenge.
Reflex by kltmtg29
Reflex (Cast this spell only if a spell or ability an opponent controls is on the stack.)
NOTE: This only works on instants and spells with flash. - Faiths_Guide
What is stack? --- http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Stack
Mistform by monikero
Mistform (Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to this creature.)
Enslave by Mila
Enslave (If a creature dealt damage by this creature this turn would die, you gain control of it instead for as long as you control this creature.)
Edited: "Enslaver" seems a more appropriate name?
- You may change the effect as long as the concept is the same.
- I'm really not sure about the wording of "Taunt", "Null value" and "Last strike". But probably you can understand what they want to do. If you have better wording idea, share it with us!
- I made a new card type for @michaelmvm's Basic mechanic. It is "Basic creature".
We don't have that option in card maker page, so I just type "(Basic)" after "Creature -"
Here's an example:
If you like this idea, you may use this template.
- Some people say Oceanic mechanic lacks in originality. You may make a brand new Oceanic mechanic that we can associate with that word.
http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Casting_spells
also for some reason Enslaver seems a more appropriate name for the last ability. I would expect Enslave to be a keyword requiring some cost or action from the player.
a bit Keyword-heavy:

Why do you like Low-Flying so much? In my opinion it's not a very good mechanic...
Primitive (This creature gets +1/+1 as long as an opponent controls a basic land.)
Thanks for gamepedia link and for your entry!
@KimJongMartin
That's neat! I added it to the list of this challenge!
My first entry. I didn't go with your wording @Tomigon, since I think it makes all changelings basic creatures, as many as you like of them can go in a deck.
I like you put Basic at the bottom of the text box. I think that's correct.

now the question is: will my 4 color god be a part of a cycle or not? probably.

two more to go
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/channeler-of-thought
Mistresses and Slaves are (in-)coming...
Can I make a card, where another kind of counters cannot be placed on?
Thanks for your entry! I commented on your card!
@Tutlaschk
Sure! As long as it is not Tomigon counters.
Again I'm bad at balancing so feedback would be great.
This card gives you a choice: keep drawing cards and only losing 1 life, or make an unblockable token and lose more life the next time you draw a card.

Also, how are y'all getting images in the comments?

Not entirely happy with the art, but demon+mist is surprisingly difficult to find in fantasy art.
EDIT: Actually, I just noticed that there's a discrepancy between the original Mistform that I selected and the one that's on this contest. And that crucial difference pretty much breaks my card. For the record, this is the Mistform version I'm using:
Mistform (This creature is not destroyed by combat damage).
