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.

Storm of the Summoned - 
Sorcery
~ can't be countered
Search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost less than X where X is the amount of spells cast before this spell.
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it)
Make one for another color with a similar but unique effect.
In other words, make one for a different color that makes sense with the color.

Gathering of Phantoms 
Enchantment
Whenever you draw a card this turn, you may discard a card. If you do, search your library for an illusion permanent and place it on the battlefield, then shuffle your library.

Keep the cycle going.

Storm of Steel 
Sorcery
Put 3 1/1 Soldier tokens with haste onto the battlefield. Exile them at your next end step.
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it)
Now we could finish the cycle with red, but that'd be predictable, and red is all about subverting the expected!
So, make a red enchantment on a similar power and mechanical level to Necropotence but yet still very much a red card.
August 11, 2016 8:24 p.m.
Knowledge amongst Flames 
When Knowledge amongst Flames enters the battlefield, you may put up to two copies of Knowledge amongst Flames onto the battlefield under your control. Those copies loose this ability.
Put three a cards from your graveyard on the bottom of your library in a random order; draw X cards, where X is the number of cards you control called Knowledge amongst flames.
At the beginning of your end step, discard a card.
