So, I've been wracking my brains for the last 12 hours trying to come up with a solution for the last challenge, and I've hit a wall on every front. Every single time I think I've got a new angle that works, something else pops up that presents another complication.
Not only would you need to fabricate a mechanical identity for this color, but you need to supply it with a philosophy that isn't already covered by the other colors, and also come up with a basic land that corresponds with the color's identity and aesthetic.
To put it simply, the task is far too monumental to complete for a thread like this that we all just do for kicks. Even if Wizards set themselves to making a new color, I'm not sure they would be able to pull it off. The color pie, as it exists, is the bedrock upon which Magic is designed. It is so essential to the game's integrity that all attempts to create something that would fundamentally unbalance it (like a new color) is futile.
Therefore, I propose that we never propose challenges that involve concepting a new color from this point onward so as to avoid a complete standstill like the previous challenge has created.
And to get the ball rolling again, a new challenge: create a Legendary Equipment card that would complement one of the Future Sight "Grandeur" legends
December 24, 2016 3:20 a.m.

Okay, while I agree with your response, having a design that isn't a great solution has happened scored of times here, so here's my mediocre submission lol:
Razil, Envious Bard (M)(M)(M)

( (M) can only be payed with colored mana of a color not paid for another (M) of the same cost. This card is all colors.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay (M)(M). If you do, put a verse countr on ~ and gain control of target nonland permanent with converted mana cost equal or less than the number of verse counters on ~ at the beginning of your next upkeep.
