Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.
Akroma, Perfection
1 W U B R G
Legendary Creature - Angel Illusion
When Akroma, Perfection enters the battlefield, choose a color. All non-land permanents become that color in addition to their other colors.
Akroma, Perfection has protection from that color.
Akroma, Perfection has all the non-activated and non-mana abilities of all creatures that share a color with her.
Akroma, Perfection's power and toughness are equal to the number of non-creature permanents that share a color with it.
