The Custom Card Concept Community Notebook!
Heya! Now I know that there has been a time where once in our cardsmithing lives, we hade this idea for a card but just can't find art for this interesting and unique concept for a card! Or maybe, we have this interesting idea for a card but don't know what to do with it!
So, in case you might have these ideas that you can't put out into the real world, just comment down below some interesting concepts for cards that you want to make!
Then, you come back in the future and just ponder at the concept cards you have for inspiration!
However, I urge that if you would copy, word for word or not, any of the cards that were concepted here, It'd be wise to credit the creator of the comment
This little notebook is open for all to use! So just type away at your leisure!

Modular N (This enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)
Undying (When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Maybe zombie cyborg or something.
You don't lose the game for having 0 or less life.
Whenever you are dealt damage, draw that many cards.
Whenever you cast a spell, that spell deals X damage to target creature or player equal to its cmc.
I see the card draw thing as downside actually, as your opponent should be doing around 10 - 20 damage a turn at this point (assuming a high mana cost) and you have to discard most of the cards. So it essentially becomes a self-mill card. And this is with just one opponent. The card itself puts a huge target on your head in multiplayer.

Sorcery
Each player discards all cards from his or her hand. Then, each player draws seven cards from the library of an opponent that would start their turn after that player would end their turn.

A creature with exert that gains vigilance after completing an objective.
The exert ability would have an upside and a downside so you wouldn't use it every time (even with vigilance).
-PERHAPS-
Renown 1
As long as CARDNAME is renowned, it has flying and vigilance.
You may exert CARDNAME as it attacks. When you do, it gets +2/+0 and loses flying until end of turn.

Creature - Human Advisor
Creatures you control get +1/+1 and have vigilance from midnight (12:00 A.M.) until noon (12:00 P.M.).

Tap target creature. If it's currently September, October, November, or December, that creature doesn't untap during it's controller's next untap step.
Draw a card.

Exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield under it's owner's control. If it's currently March, April, or May, you may exile another target creature, then return it to the battlefield under it's owner's control. If it's currently a leap year, exile a third target creature, then return it to the battlefield under it's owner's control.

When Devoted Fanatics enters the battlefield, name a musician.

--- Mambo Inferno 2BR ---
Enchantment
When Mambo Inferno enters the battlefield, play "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega. When that song ends, sacrifice Mambo Inferno.
Sing Along - Whenever the lyrics of "Mambo No. 5" mentions "Monica", "Erica", "Rita", "Tina", "Sandra", "Mary", "Jessica", "Angela" or "Pamela" during a player's turn, Mambo Inferno deals 1 damage to each creature that player controls.
