Explanation:
I had the idea of making someone draw useless cards that would still count towards their hand size and eventually force them to discard. I chose blue because I believe shuffling is common in blue. I chose this artwork because of the swirly things around her head... it made her look dizzy, hence the name dizzypell. I wanted this to recur, so I chose it to be an Enchantment. Mana cost 3 made sense because of the timing in the game. Common rarity because Dizzyspells are common.

Other than that, this sounds pretty cool!
It should be worded exactly like so:
At the beginning of your upkeep, create two colorless Dizzy enchantment/artifact tokens with ...
Why did I stop? Because of a slight problem. When tokens leave the battlefield, they basically cease to exist. Cool concept overall, but it will present some problems in actual play.

I made this card as a start to an Eldrazi-Praetor set. I researched a lot of the eldrazi/praetor abilities. I realized that eldrazi focus on high cmc, while praetors seem to help you in one way and hurt your opponents in the same way. I wanted to make it devoid, but there wasn't enough space on the card. *sigh*
Now, for the next adventurer, I choose the optional challenge! I challenge you to make a balanced tribal creature that is a 9/9 for 1 mana, aaaaannnnnnnnnddddd, you can't use suspend, slumber, or anything else that makes it take longer to become a creature.
I don't remember how to link artwork and I have a headache.
Made it (obviously) in response to @AboveAndAbout's challenge above. Losing Power/toughness unless something was fulfilled was the first thing that came to mind when they said balanced 9/9 for 1. It's always a creature, it's just sometimes a dead one.
Honestly didn't want it to be colorless but I could think of no alternative on short notice. It's a sliver because while I was considering a cat or elf tribal card, I realized slivers give keywords and that was a simple solution.
I went on gatherer to see what keywords they could give, left out anything with a cost, removed exalted when I realized how many there were. Card was really boring so the second ability was just to make it less of a dead card early, and with that and the first effect, the "more than 9" just seemed natural. The artwork was pulled from an aggregate wallpaper site, I reverse image searched it and couldn't find any source for it.

I need to work on my HTML, clearly.
EDIT: Thanks, shadow.
Also, if it helps...

Here's a new creation. I watched a movie about an ancient unearthed virus that caused people to hallucinate a Deer that spoke in an evil tongue. I think it was supposed to be an omnipotent being of some sort, but I really thought it embodied 1 concept: Fortitude...
So with this inspiration, I wanted to create a card that incarnated Fortitude by having a creature whose PT would be directly proportioned to the amount of pain and suffering you've endeared throughout your magic game... so the difference or range calculated when subtracting the total number of permanents you control from the total cards in your graveyard MADE SENSE!

I’ve recently been seeing a lot of instants or flash permanents that care about unblocked attackers, or at least being intended to block a creature on etb. So, I decided to make one myself, with the theme of an angler. (The tokens were originally intended to be colorless, typeless creatures named Net.) I thought a creature that could block all the unblocked creatures attacking you at once would be cool. So, here we are. Merrow Angler.
Also, I choose optional challenge, and in honor of the Nephilim from Guildpact, I challenge the next poster to make a four-color card.
This is a card I spent a long time making up its equip abilties. I wanted it to be the soldier theme, as well as balanced. Around this point, I was thinking about upping the cost because I wanted it to be quite good. But then, I realised, if I wanted its abilities to be good, then I could stop it from doing something. I thought, hmm, attack? No. It needs to attack it's a soldier's kit. How about block? Well, I thought, That seems good enough. And I based it from there. Sacrificing lives to do good, efficient attacking, blah, blah, blah. It was easy enough. A bit off theme, though, because at that time I was making lots of cards for other people.
Temurzoa's actual suggestion was significant reductions to the casting and equip costs, so perhaps it's worth rereading their comment a little more carefully.
