Ephemeral (This spell costs {2} less to cast if it targets a permanent that entered the battlefield this turn.), following the same templating.
My top cards for all Mechanix challenges always include at least one card of every mechanic, their best one in my estimation. It's not always the twelve BEST cards, because we like to see each mechanic have representation for the creators of the mechanics.
--Mechanics of this week--
"Painborn" by @Animist
"Mount" by @Revan ;
"Transcend" by @ArmisJoe
"Ephermeral" by @Beeswax ;

vv--Tomigon's version--vv
Cache ___. (Exile it face down, then shuffle all cards you cached in a face-down pile. Cached cards gain "The player who cached this card may look at it and choose to put it on top of its owner's library any time.")
vv--@Faiths_Guide and @ningyounk's version--vv
Cache _____. (Exile it face down and shuffle it into your cache. If you would draw a card, you may put a card from your cache into your hand instead.)

Some of these are Action Keywords! Don't mix them up with keyword abilities!
Descend mechanic requested by @Ral1000 will be in the next week's challenge!

Prizes:
Top three winning cards will get a favorite from -TROPHY-
1st place winner will get 1/4 circuit point
Feel free to discuss about these mechanics!
I feel like the mechanic that's similar to Mutate could be better idea for Mount mechanic.
__A__ mounts __B__. (Put __B__ under __A__. __A__ gains all abilities of __B__.)
Also if you are interested, you can see some discussions about the Cache mechanic here - https://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/4343/face-down-circuit-challenge/p1
This is my fun little experiment trying to get as close as possible to red card draw, which is obviously a break. So this is the result with Transcend by @ArmisJoe !
Rebirth [Cost] (When this creature dies, if it was dealt combat damage this turn, you may pay [cost]. If you do, exile it. Return it to the battlefield tapped at the beginning of the next end step.)

When I saw the word cache, my first thought was raccoons. And when I thought of raccoons in mtg, my first thought was "curiosity" abilities. So, cache + curiosity = Striped Bandit.
Am I allowed to kinda break the mechanic just a little in regards to restore? Like restoring specific card types. Otherwise, the mechanic seems kinda boring.
Example: [Insert Effect], restore up to 3 artifacts.
Edit: I've done it anyway, you cannot stop me!
Restore by @sorinjace
EDIT: Revised
You can totally do that. I think think that's a cool idea!
Using my version of Pepperoni's custom mechanic.
Original: Hexshield N (This permanent can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. Any player may pay {N} for that player to ignore this effect until end of turn.)
My version: Hexshield N (This permanent has hexproof. Any player may pay {N} for that player to ignore this permanent's hexproof until end of turn.)The reminder text is still different in this card because it gives the protection to other creatures. I don't know if it's the best possible wording, so any feedback would be helpful.
