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.

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.

Basically, this is a cool card for a bunch of land-matters and discard-matters decks which are kind of hard to build on cube. It works well with cards like Fauna Shaman and Cryptbreaker or Retrace cards like Raven's Crime. I just want to draft a reliable deck around Squee, Goblin Nabob.
Forgotten Frontier
Land
At the beginning of your upkeep, return Forgotten Frontier to its owner's hand.
At the beginning of your upkeep, return Forgotten Frontier from your graveyard to your hand.

Keeping up the cube talk, make another card that encourages blue decks to go wide, (like Opposition and Bident of Thassa do).

Would it be okay if the next one is a competition? So after a certain length of time, a winner is chosen among the submissions for the challenge?
November 29, 2016 11:50 a.m.
MagicalHacker says... #18
Also, edit to my design, it should be legendary.
November 29, 2016 1:05 p.m.
No other requirements, just a legendary something-or-other? I'm okay with the idea.
November 29, 2016 1:39 p.m.
MagicalHacker says... #20
No, that's the edit to my submission, the next challenge/competition is design an enchantment that best represents the change of seasons.
November 29, 2016 2:31 p.m. Edited.
Aha, got it. I'm still in with the competition idea.

Spring - Whenever an Island enters the battlefield, each player creates a 0/1 green Plant creature token.

My submission for the aforementioned challenge. If I win, the next card should be a card that flavorfully represents the ocean's tides in a unique way.
