Random Mechanic Namerator!
Hello Internet, and welcome to GAME THEORY... wait wrong script.
Hello MTGCardsmith, and this is another one of my dumb contest ideas that I got while half asleep and decided to post.
The idea is that you make a brand new mechanic from a randomly generated word.
This contest is simple (enough): You go onto this website, (http://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php) select 2 as options from how many words you want generated, and click the button. You will get two options, and you select one of them to use as your mechanic!
RULES:
1. You may use any word form of a word you find. For instance, if you get the word "Confused" you may use "Confused", "Confusing", or "Confuses" and the like.
2. Don't use a word that already has a mechanic, and don't use other mechanics.
3. The scoring will be based on
Mechanic Creativity (based on name)
Flavor
Art
Card Design
Balance
On-Color-ness
(and maybe other stuff as of later)
4. Limit of subs per person is three!
PRIZES:
3 favs for 1st
2 favs for 2nd
1 fav for 3rd
If u have questions, post them in comments and I hope to get lots of submissions! EnjoY!
EDIT - oh crap U need to make a card for the mechanic that's where the scoring comes in sorry agggh

Brood and Prophets
I will be using some version of the word Brood, stay tuned, Don't Change That Channel!
I've decided to use the keyword "Brooding". The mechanic will be the opposite of "Inspired" from Theros block:
Brooding - Whenever this creature becomes tapped,
Colors it will fit into - 1st: Black/Red _ 2nd: Green/Blue _ 3rd: White

Fortune N - Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, you may copy it and exile the copy. It gains Suspend 4. This may be done N times. After N times, exile ______.
Stun when ever this creature deals combat damage to a creature tap that creature it doesn't untap during there next untap step
Gibberish
Gibberish [Cost] ([Cost], [tap]: The next time [permanent] would become the target of a spell or ability, shuffle your hand into your library then draw that many cards.)
Primary: Blue; Secondary: Black, Red
Primarily belonging to horrors and unexplained magic, tapping into this permanent's shown nature grant you secrets that completely alter your mind.
Pattern
Pattern (When you cast this spell, you may exile a card from your graveyard with the same name. If you do, copy this spell.)
Primary: Blue, White; Secondary: Colorless/Artifact
Pattern is employed by law mages to make effects more powerful with repetition. Pattern spells are mostly pricey control effects that gain strength through using several.
I plan to make my submissions using gibberish, since I think it's just a more fun and flavorful effect. This is the most fun contest I think I've ever participated in, thanks for hosting this. I'd like to possibly do a similar one when this wraps up.
I apologize for not adding this earlier, but you must make a card showcasing the mechanic. Sorry for no putting that in the rules.
This should be interesting.....got it.
Passenger X (When this creature dies or is exiled, create X 1/1 Human Soldier tokens named "Escort")
White and green ability since they do most of the protecting.
Card will be added later...
Boast - As long as this creature dealt damage to a player or planeswalker this turn,
Stage (Ability Word): If you control a [color] enchantment, [effect].
Example: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/windsweep-1
Absurd [Cost] (Keyword):You may exile a card from your hand while casting this card to pay for [Cost].
Example: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/channeler-of-distortion
Boast - As long as [this creature] dealt damage to a player or planeswalker this turn,
I think perhaps {2}{r}{r} would've been a more appropriate costing.

Brooding - Whenever [this creature] becomes tapped,
(I forgot to substitute the card name in the card text above.)
I've been trying to stay away from small text... that's why.
