Inspired by the way that people keep confusing convoke and conspire (both involve tapping creatures), and populate and proliferate (one increases tokens, one increases counters). Bonus points if your new mechanic's name is confusingly similar to two different existing keyword mechanics, such as "propagate".
I think it's probably going to be the most fun if your mechanic's effect is as different as possible to the existing keyword mechanic whose name it's similar to.
There are a few lists of keyword mechanics around the web. The Wizards Forums Keyword FAQ and Wikipedia appear to be some of the more up-to-date.
'Crash' produces Swimming Lessons and Explosive Salvo
Cyclic: Mistweaving Reflection
So Soulband Soldier doesn't count, then?
Hmmm. It's somewhat too similar to Arcbound Wanderer, but yeah, I'll let you have it for the name being just one letter away from one of the component abilities.
ROFL. That's a hilarious challenge! :)
