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.

Master Plan

Exile target creature. If that creature was black, regenerate it instead. If that creature was a zombie return that creature to the battlefield. If it's power is 3 or more, Put it on top of that player's library instead. If you control three forest, you may exile two creatures instead.
At the beginning of your end step if you cast Master plan this turn, if a zombie went from exile to play, destroy that creature.
