My first entry for this challenge (and any challenge on this forum for that matter): I want to do the full 15 entries thing (one for each mechanic), but I can't decide if I'll post them individually, or just edit this post to included them all in one. Any advice on that? (I figured it out)
So, I just realized that I unintentionally (and unknowingly) made a similar card to a previous entry. Namely "Stolen Essence," by @seaspray4TF3. There are still a decent amount of mechanical and flavor differences, but I felt it would be best to still point out the coincidence. Sorry about that seaspray.
@theran_baggins I usually put them in packs of five. That way they're together so the judges can track all my entries, but I still bump the thread to the top after a bit. Also there's not so many people's eye just glaze over when they see them all. I'd imagine some people are like wall o cards, and skip your post. Some people put them all in a single post of 15. I just prefer to bump the thread, but both are acceptable to do. You can ask the judges if they have a preference, but I've never seen them complain about either way.
@Lastjustice Ok, I don't know if its 'cause I'm a bit tired or I just don't understand some of the terminology, but are you suggesting: 1. One at a time 2. All in one 3. 5 at a time 4. Something else It sounds to me like your suggesting number 3, which kinda makes since. Regardless, thanks for the advice.
EDIT: Looked back through the previous submissions and I think I get it now. I see what you were talking about the 5 card thing, but I think I'm gonna go with one at a time. Thanks again for the advice though.
Second entry Though not necessary, I would advise reading my comment on the card on its page. Primarily the bit regarding its modal mechanic (modal is the term for "choose one" effects).
Third entry Now here is a question, if an aetherborn is a vampire for siphoning aether from other aetherborns, would that logic make this a vampire construct?
Original: Mighty N (This creature enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, if you gained life last turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
My version: Sacred (At the beginning of each end step, if you gained life this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
Modified Erode by Jarnefeldt I'm not sure if it counts for the contest because it's not technically a static ability like this, but can work with other things with erode.
@Je_Suis_Oluwa I like your cycle, but the mindcoil mage needs have it's discard ability only able to activate when you could cast a sorcery speed or during your turn. Otherwise you could do soon as someone draws a card.
Ok, is the passive planeswalker abilities feature a premium-only thing? Last time I tried to make one with a passive ability, cardsmith wouldn't let me. (tbf, has been awhile, so if that feature was recently added, that would explain it)
@theran_baggins You have to leave the Ability Modifier field empty. I think this has been the case since shortly after War of the Spark's release, but I could be mistaken. (I'm certain that it isn't a premium feature, though, because I don't have a premium membership.)

Resist by @Lastjustice
Ria Ivor is actually an existing creature in mtg. Her real card? Hero of Bladehold.
I just did a little extra digging on her to create this version of her. I always liked that card, and her character is kinda awesome.

Thank you
I made a small edit to the mechanic, allowing it to also effect non-creature permanents
