Winners and mentionables, each of you can choose up to two custom mechanics for future challenges. Pick any mechanics you can find in Mechanic Encyclopedia for ALL or Tome of TheMechanix, or you can make new mechanics! Comment on this thread or send me a PM. If you don't want to choose, that's also ok!
Turf — If only mana produced by basic lands was spent to cast this spell, ... True Mastery {cost}: If you control a full party, you may cast this for its true mastery cost.
By @ChoyBoi: Bond (When this creature enters the battlefield, you may bond it to an unbonded Equipment you control. If you do, attach that equipment to it.)
By me: Retaliate - Whenever [creature name] is dealt damage by another creature, [effect]
Edit: At first glance, Retaliate may seem very similar to Enrage, but retaliate effects would usually have something to do with the creature that dealt the damage, and you could have an effect that happens whenever something retaliates against another creature (meaning when the retaliate effect activates).
Etherealize(If this creature would die, put an ethereal counter on it instead. As long as this permanent has an ethereal counter on it, it isn't a creature.)
Caretaker(You may pair this creature with another unpaired artifact when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
@TheDukeOfPork The idea is that you propose new mechanics in the event of being a winner / honorable mention for the last round, which I don't believe you were one of. It's a sort of further victor's prize / chance to influence what people might be working with.
@TheDukeOfPork New mechanix challenges don't really start at specific times. I believe it's partially based around convenience for the mods and when they've got the time and inclination to organise them etc.
Etherealize (If this creature would die, put an ethereal counter on it instead. As long as this permanent has an ethereal counter on it, it isn't a creature.)
Caretaker (You may pair this creature with another unpaired artifact when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
Hunt by Tomigon
Hunt (If this creature is unblocked, you may have it assign its combat damage to a creature defending player controls.)
Insular - If you spent only ____ mana to cast this spell, (effect..) Insular - When this permanent enters the battlefield, if you spent only ____ mana to cast it, (effect..)
NOTE: Insert the spell's color in _____. (effect...) gives the card different or additional characteristics that makes the card more powerful.

Prizes:
Top three winning cards will get a favorite from -TROPHY- 1st place winner will get 1/4 circuit point
Entry 1 - Caretaker by @Temurzoa Noticed in the description it says "'another' unpaired artifact," implying that the caretaker should also be an artifact, but seems like this should work for any supertype of creature.
Comments
Yes, they are basically 2/2 vanilla, but if their face-up side have morph or any other ways to turn them face up, they can.
This card brings together divination and thrill of possibility, but the rarity is raised to uncommon due to its flexibility. I hope you like it!
"Path" mechanic is an ability word, like landfall. So you italicized the wrong parts.
Thanks for your entry!
Entry 1: Path by @ArmisJoe
Entry 2: Crystallize by @Teacup
Entry 3: Extract by me (hooray!)
Entry 4: Reactive by @bnew07
Entry 5: Enslave by @Superman101
This card is based on Sonata Arctica's song named Wildfire.
I'm a little tired today so I'm going to judge this tomorrow. You have 12 more hours to enter.
1st Place

This looks fun to play!
Two cards are tied for 2nd Place

Unexpected Insight by @shadow123
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/unexpected-insight
Both cards are balanced and realistic!
3rd Place

Colorless removal is amazing in limited! But I think both mana cost and reactive cost should cost {1} more.
Honorable mentions

Note: I added a little onto the reminder text on Invoke since this starts as a creature.
