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.

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.

I wanted to fix the wording and power on "Sword in the Stone" cause it's a cool design:
Sword in the Stone
Legendary Land
: Add to your mana pool.
: ~ becomes a 0/1 Construct artifact creature until end of turn. Attach target equipment with equip cost X to ~.
But here's my submission to the current challenge:
Cursed Moor
Land
: If an opponent has a lower life total than you, add 
to your mana pool. If an opponent has a higher life total than you, add 
to your mana pool. Otherwise, add to your mana pool.
This cycle would be as follows:
: Instants in graveyard.: Life total.: Cards in graveyard.
: Artifacts on battlefield.: Sorceries in graveyard.
: Lands on battlefield.: Creatures on battlefield.: Biggest power.: Enchantments on battlefield.: Cards in hand.

For that design, I think it'd be interesting if it had "Whenever a player adds mana to his or her mana pool, each of that player's opponents adds that mana to his or her mana pool as well" instead of "players can use mana from other players mana pools."
