Commandeer the Commander
So, most people around here know sorinjace's Creature Feature challenge. This is similar to that but with a commander deck. At the beginning of one deck, the judge will post a commander for the deck and create a challenge, the person to fulfill that challenge adds that card to the deck and suggests another challenge. Example:
(I am Judge)
This is the commander: A Red/White/Black Burn deck
This is the challenge: Create a creature with evergeen abilities that fit in with the colors of the commander.
Someone creates a card with that and suggests another challenge.
This continues until 89 cards are created (10 basic lands and the commander are not counted there)
Once the whole deck is built, the judge picks the best card posted in that deck and they get to judge the next deck and gets 5 favorites. Second and third place are awarded 3 favorites (Second Place) and 1 Favorite (Third place)
I will be the first judge, commander will be posted soon.

First Challenge: Create an artifact that works as or close to a sol ring.
Wait, do I make a challenge now?
If Mantis7 doesn't post a challenge, you may want to post another challenge to keep this going cleanly.
Oops, forgot the rest of the card.
Challenge:
Make a W/B planeswalker for this deck.
Challenge: Make some of that premium removal.
[Something on the power level of Mortify or Putrefy probably, but it does not have to be functionally the same as those cards.]
Challenge: make a life-gain payoff. (e.g. Ajani's Pridemate, Sanguine Bond)
Challenge: Create an Aristocrat style card that doesn't deal damage.

Challenge: A creature card that interacts with the graveyard
I know blue isn't in our identity, but this can technically be run using only swamps (hence the power of hybrid mana)
Make something BULKY (6 power and toughness minimum), but with an interesting ability to back the size up.
Next up...
Create something that can recur itself from the graveyard!
I pretend to be this stuffy old grizzled control player that could turn a Naya deck into mill if I wanted too...
But at my core, I would love just as much as any young Johnny to plop a hulker like this onto the battlefield and consume the fear of my opponent.
Oh, if only WotC actually printed the cards on this site... (I mean, the good ones. As in any big community, there's a lot of trash here too, but when people do know what they're doing, masterpieces are born)
You inspired me to actually go out and make an untap.in account, but when I logged in it looked like if you mix fireworks and the stock market collapse, and it is way too late where I live to deal with this.
I'll try to wrap my head around it tomorrow.
I decided to make this card on a different platform (as well as cardsmith) because of formatting, and this just looks so good. If you want to see the cardsmith version its here: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/caller-of-the-infinite
ANYWAYS... The Challenge: Create a LAND that synergizes with the theme of sacrifice and/or life gain.
