"Rhythm (Whenever you cast a spell with converted mana cost equal to the amount of rhythm counters on this permanent plus one, put a rhythm counter on this permanent. At the beginning of each end step, remove all rhythm counters from this permanent.)"
Example: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/aurora-tempest-drummer?list=set&set=53162
My second mechanic shall be Archive, also by me.
To archive a card, exile it with an archive counter on it. Cards with archive counters on them are 'archived'
Example https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/vand-archscholars-familiar?list=set&set=53162
The first is the "Extension to Adventure mechanic" by me! Basically it signals creatures going on adventure (Exile it. You may cast it later from exile.) or (Exile them. You may cast them later from exile.)
Some of my personal adventure cards include this one and this one.
The second mechanic is by @shadow123- Songs!
One of Shadow's and one of mine as examples.
Decompose by me:
Decompose N (Exile up to N target cards from your graveyard. For each card exiled this way, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.)
Here's an example:

And Counter Strike, by @Faiths_Guide
Counter strike (Whenever this creature is dealt combat damage by a creature you don't control, if the damage is less than this creature's toughness, it deals damage to the other creature equal to the difference.)
Oooh, cool! That's a fun mechanic to design around.
Here's the current reminder text wording for the keyword:
Counter strike (Whenever this creature is dealt less combat damage than its base toughness, it deals the source damage equal to the difference.)
This is my set with example cards:

Necrogenesis feels PERFECT for this. I'm also making a fungus predator with predatory and decompose, but I don't have art yet so...?
Original: Dismember (Whenever this creature becomes blocked by a creature, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature and create a 0/1 colorless Appendage creature token.)
My version: Dismember (Whenever this creature becomes blocked by a nontoken creature, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature and create a 0/1 colorless Appendage creature token.)
I changed the way counter strike works:
My version:
Counter strike (Whenever this creature is dealt less combat damage than its toughness, it deals the source damage equal to the difference.)
In my version, it's toughness, not base toughness.

Entry#1, utilizing Rythm by Usaername
Entry#2: Utilizing Songs by Shadow123
Entry #3: Utilizing decompose by Jicklemania2
Tweaked the ability slightly because abilities generally don't need targeting to exile cards from your own graveyard.
Entry #4: Utilizing descend by Corwinnn
Entry#5: Utilizing Songs by Shadow123
Use {line}Sir Laquer. It looks much more genuine. Also, the name would also be italicized.
Original: Descend (If you have eight or more creature cards in your graveyard, you get the crypt's blessing for the rest of the game.)
MTG_Sappy's version: Descend (If you have ten or more permanent cards in your graveyard, you get the undercity's blessing for the rest of the game.)
Edit: Added the set symbol!
Songs by me!!!
I wanted to play around with the song subtype a little more, and this is the result
