bonded, can be on noncreatures or creatures, it allows you to use that card as your commander only if you use the other card named in the bonding ability diverse, you may attach this aura or equipment to a creature if you control permanents of 3 or more colors mutate, when you mutate this creature it becomes an X/X ooze mutant but keeps its old types and abilities
@sorinjace I have a suggestion for your restore mechanic. How about making it say.. Restore N (When this creature enters the battlefield, you may shuffle up to N cards from your graveyard into your library.)
If it shuffles all cards in your graveyard into your library, 2nd card with restore you put out becomes weak. So I added N to it. Also is this mechanic only for creatures? I think it's fine to use it on enchantment, artifact, or land
Rehearse is a Triggered ability keyword that goes on creatures with the "Musician" subtype. It reads: Rehearse (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a verse counter on this creature.) All creatures with Rehearse should have this subtype.
Example:
Some cards can have an ability that triggers when it rehearses. You can use this shorthand as follows: "Whenever CARDNAME Rehearses,"
Standoff N (Whenever this creature attacks, you may deal 1 damage to up to N target blocking creatures. If you do, deal 1 damage to itself for each creature dealt damage this way)
It would be used like this:
Standoff 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, you may have it deal 1 damage to up to two target blocking creatures. If you do, it deals 1 damage to itself for each creature dealt damage this way)
@Tbeast430 you probably are aware of this, but just in case your not, bury was the oldschool way of saying destroy. Are you just trying to reuse the word?
@Tbeast430 maybe you can make the bury ability alongside the restore ability I came up with on a creature for the mechanix 26 contest? that sounds sweet, it even sounds like a house dimir type card! The bury would be the black (or possibly white or blue), and restore is evergreen so technically it could be house dimir or maybe golgari even?

No. We have plenty of other mechanics to use. But someday it might be included as a just for fun bonus mechanic which won't be judged.
diverse, you may attach this aura or equipment to a creature if you control permanents of 3 or more colors
mutate, when you mutate this creature it becomes an X/X ooze mutant but keeps its old types and abilities

Thanks for the notes and I'm glad you like the edited version! Corwinnn will host the next challenge!

Rehearse is a Triggered ability keyword that goes on creatures with the "Musician" subtype. It reads: Rehearse (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a verse counter on this creature.) All creatures with Rehearse should have this subtype.
Example:
Some cards can have an ability that triggers when it rehearses. You can use this shorthand as follows: "Whenever CARDNAME Rehearses,"
Example:
Tribute X (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may put X +1/+1 counters on it.)
I propose we bend it to our will and make one possible variant (there could be multiple).
Tribute {x} (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may add {x} to your mana pool with mana he or she produces.)
Wording? @ningyounk, @Platypusburger, @Gelectrode, etc.?
The intention is that the opponent you chose would have an opportunity to add {x} to your pool if able (with sources he or she controls).
Basically it could be:
Tribute [blank] (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may [blank].)
Ooh that's a hard one. Based on Desecration Demon:
When this creature enters the battlefield, any opponent may pay {X}. If a player does, add {C} to your mana pool for each mana paid this way.
Sadly, "Add {X} to your mana pool" doesn't exist anymore since colorless mana have been introduced
{x} would be replaced with a definite mana amount (it was a placeholder). Ya, that was confusing.
A given card might have Tribute {2} for example.
Tribute [cost] (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may pay [cost]. Add mana paid this way to your mana pool.)
Example: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tribal-mimic
It would be used like this:
Bury target creature:(Target Creatures controller shuffles it into his or her library)
Here is an example card:
It would be used like this:
Standoff 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, you may have it deal 1 damage to up to two target blocking creatures. If you do, it deals 1 damage to itself for each creature dealt damage this way)
Here is an example card:
Spy
Spy N (You may pay an additional N as you play this spell. If you do, this creature enters the battlefield under target opponents control.)
Here is the 1st card with the Spy ability I created on it:
So far it's only found on creature permanents. But it possibly can be put on other permanents in the future...
Yes. I'm trying to make bury more modern.
Same here. But I also always thought that shuffling the card into its controllers library was also more appropriate for the word.
That sounds like a good idea! I will try that.
