First of all, not entirely sure if this should go in Challenges, but I figured that this is mostly custom cards, so... Sorry in advance Epoch.
I want you guys to create some complicated cards. And not just complicated, but terribly overcomplicated cards with multiple interactions. Also, please no joke cards guys. GO!

Oh great now I got started making wordy old styled cards. I kind of wanted to try a burn style with this guy but older cards loved to mess with goblins so I guess it fit better.

Lands R Us - 
Enchantment
Whenever a player taps a land for mana, an opponent of that player names a color. Flip a coin. If the coin is heads, that land taps for mana of the opponent's color choice. If the coin is tails, the mana remains the same.

Whenever you cast a creature spell exile it
Whenever you cast a non-land-non-creature spell place it in the graveyard
Whenever you play a land card, you may put a creature in exile onto the battlefield, it gains haste until end of turn
Whenever you tap a land for mana you may cast a card from your graveyard, it does not get placed into the graveyard from Artifacts effect
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control gain 1 life
Whenever you gain life you may exile a card from your graveyard
Whenever you draw a card gain 1 life
Whenever an opponent would begin his or her turn, that player adds one mana of his or her choice to his or her mana pool, that mana does not empty from steps as phases end until the end of the turn
Skip your draw step: gain one life:draw a card
Whenever you gain life loose that much life minus 1

Oh yeah I forgot I made this card a bit ago. On the concept of simpler complex cards she's a creature form of Grip of Chaos that gives organized chaos for her controller.

I tried to make one that does something very unique without being wordy. There are definitely many interactions, but I might need to work on the wording a bit.
Extrinsic Reality 
Enchantment
Abilities of permanents you control treat each turn as your turn.
Abilities of permanents your control treat you as an opponent.

1empyrean That's actually really cool as an ability. Sort of like your opponent copying, but not quite. Love it!

If an effect would cause a card to go from one zone to another, its owner chooses a card to go in the reverse direction instead.
Draw a card, nah, put a card back.

Ahh, 1empyrean your idea is genius! Just reading that made my Johnny gears spin like crazy. I wish that card were real.

Thanks contracrostipunctus and FAMOUSWATERMELON.
Here is another.
M'rhaal, The Formless Constellation
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to colorless is less than 5, M'rhaal isn't a creature.
M'rhaal's power and toughness are equal to your devotion to colorless.
Creature cards you own that aren't on the battlefield, creature spells you control, and creatures you control are every creature type.
Constellation - Whenever M'rhaal or another enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, tap any number permanents you control. Untap those permanents at the beginning of the next end step
Inspired - when M'rhaal becomes untapped you may return target enchantment to its owners hand
