I missed the deadline, but I'm going to throw out Bull Aurochs, staring down a Savannah Lion that's slinking away
[Quick aside: The digital release day for my book, 'Winning Streak: Tales and Trivia of the 40 Most Popular Board Games' just released. If you'd like a Kindle version, click here. Personally, I think the PDF version is a better way to read the book. You can find that here..]

Don't know if it was done in the new DND themed set but
Prismatic Wall Creature - Wall Elemental Illusion
Whirling-hand Sentry
Creature - Human Monk
Art: Doing Morpheus' "come at me" gesture :)
Icatian Peacemaker
Creature - Human Soldier
The size and effect both made me think of someone marching out ahead of an army trying to stop an incipient battle.
Ok - so Blessing plus ... something a bit like the coward ability. If this were an enchantment, I'd call it "Coward's Blessing" and have done. Luckily, it's not.
So it's only those of exactly that power that can't attack. Things this can safely block. No problem. So it's not just intimidation of small things. It's... it's like the celestial kirin. Sure, it's triggerring off of toughness instead of arcane casting cost; but it's sort of the same thing.
So Blessed Kirin and as it's more physical - creature type Kirin without the spirit. And I want to see a cycle now. Blue probably stops spells wih cmc equal to toughness, red probably is probably the exact mirror to this but says they can't block. Not really sure what green and black get, though.
Name: Hieromancer's Barrier
Type: Illusion Wall
To be fair, I don't really like 'illusion' here but I can't think of another creature type which would represent a magically-conjured summon? Maybe 'Spirit'? What about 'Elemental' or 'Incarnation'? Nothing seems to fit well, sadly!
Welcome back! I think today's card is relatively self-explanatory. The only thing worth pointing out is that you don't need to use the activated ability to play with the numbers. A Moment of Triumph might do in a pinch on your creature, or a So Tiny might be effective on an opponent's creature.
That, and it's going to be really difficult to stop zero power creatures form attacking you with this creature. I recommend enchanting them with a boost instead of trying to make this creature's toughness zero. :D
One more side note. I did think of making this a 0/9 wall, with the ability ": ~ gets -0/-1 until end of turn." I thought that was suitably strange for the sorts of challenges I was giving here. But, I just like the version I posted better. Maybe I'll post the match in NTC #094. Or maybe I can come up with a better use of that mechanic...
But what is this card's name? And what is its creature type?
Jack wins with Second Summer! See everybody in (((NTC #093)))!

Oh, cool! I really like that season system. I agree, everything "G primary, two others secondary" fits best, and you could do that in a set where seasons were one focus out of several. I did originally think, G was summer too, but automatically avoided making them ALL green, but now I see you don't have to.
I like your thoughts about winter too. I felt like in the existing pie, U fit well with cold, ice, "freezing", austere, timeless. But your argument that B should fit makes sense. If you think of B as "pragmatic" rather than "evil", it could easily be colour of hibernation, hoarding, skulking, dormancy hunkering down, not just "dead".
Also the reason I put as primary for winter, rather than or is because is an ally color to .
Then, between and ... Well, may be the better fit, but honestly so badly needs a new aesthetic beyond rotting corpses, and I think some sort of 'the dread of winter' approach would be extremely refreshing.
doesn't need the ice look, it already has sea-life, traditional wizards, academy look, technology, and archaeology. I'm probably forgetting some.
really only has 'corpses/death', 'evil-looking stuff', and 'phyrexians' which are all cool but less variety than .
Okay Jack's idea is really cool, so I'm going to shamelessly piggy back off of it xD
Seasonal Shift is the name.
Also, on the subject of seasons in MTG color terms, this is how I would guess they fit:
Spring
Primary: Secondary: ,
Summer
Primary: Secondary: ,
Autumn
Primary: Secondary: ,
Winter
Primary: Secondary: ,
Two notes:
Frankly, isn't at all Spring to me, but I was one single digit off from the shards so i switched it for .
I decided to put as primary for every shard it was present in, since all seasons are basically a concept more than anything else. However, this would skew the color balance in a cardset, so if you're inclined to, keep spring , make summer , and turn autumn
Second Summer
What's red, green and blue? A second, late summer. Is what I'm going to argue :) Art hopefully shows a second, late harvest (which apparently is normal in some regions, although when best harvest is is apparently at different times of year depending on climate).
I'm not quite sure of the colour-to-season. I think I might have done spring=green, summmer=white, autumn=red, winter=blue, out of season=black. But I think for "summer in late autumn" and "temporal" RG and U work well enough.
Affinity for (colourless thing) was a problem because it let you have the big ball of suck, since every deck could do it. Affinity for lands is much more "Cast this only on turn N or more" since it's interacting direcvtly with the thing that makes mana. Heck, it's almost (though not completely) the same as just halving the mana cost. So sure, this effectively costs six. For which you get... an extra turn and a half what the actual? It used to be an extra turn cost but this was quickly deemed to be ridiculous. It now costs, what; 7 if it has a small upside? So ok, six-ish with triple colours and a strong upside; sure; ok; maybe.
What does one call such a thing? Annoyingly Crop Rotation can't be used as a terrible pun. (Your turn is rolling on).
All sorts of terms for time we could try.
You know, I'm gonna go the other way with this. Land Shock. Flavour I hit him in the face with a forest and scarpered
I really like the affinity for lands common artifacts from Darksteel. Affinity got a bad name, but those five seemed rather balanced, and I thought it was a shame that we've never seen a set go back and explore some more affinity ideas outside of Junk Winder.
Affinity for basic lands was created because I wanted to spin off of the original five golems, but wanted to make it multicolored somehow. But if you have a spell that requires a pile of basic lands to drive the cost down to CDE, then you're going to need a really powerful effect to make up the difference. So... this.
Quick primer for costs for people who don't want to do the math:
If you have five basic lands, this costs seven mana (maybe you have a nonbasic and a mana Elf.)
If you have six basic lands, this costs six mana.
Seven basic lands, costs you five. Time Warp zone.
Eight basic lands, costs you four Nine basic lands, costs URG.
But what is this card's name?
yesss!
Ah. So this image.
Alternate-alternate art should be a wealthy aristocrat sitting atop a pile of toilet paper as thousands of people crawl towards him on their knees.
Peak 2020 humor.
Jack wins with Keeper of the Rolls. Alternate art is of a jealous cook slapping another person's hand with a wooden spoon when they try reaching for a freshly cooked roll. See everybody in (((NTC #092)))!
One more day delay, just to see if I can get someone else to vote. ;)

Red Chad, Griefer

I'm not sure if this fits, but I think it fits?
