I had a bunch of ideas that were basically dread and tried to make something sufficiently different.
Oh yes, very appropriate.
That's a strong punisher, and very flavorful. It reminds me of Stoneshaker Shaman.
I made Hunger, from Jack's word.
• Pragmatism
See Challenge # 156.
Interesting! I wouldn't have expected a blue card after reading the name, but it makes sense when I think about it — theology is the study of religion, not the practice.
Nice! Very powerful and fun for the user, if not for his or her opponents.

*shrug*. I don't think "having an evergreen keyword" is a vital part of the identity of "being an Incarnation".
Now when Incarnations are in a tight cycle, then sure, having an evergreen keyword helps to simultaneously tie the cycle together and distinguish them. That was presumably why Purity/Guile/Dread/Hostility/Vigor (all 3MMM 6/6) had their keyword. And obviously keyword abilities were key to the entire Valor/Wonder/Filth/Anger/Brawn tight cycle (all 3M 2/2 except green gets +1/+1).
But Glory and Genesis didn't have a particular reason to have an ability; I imagine Glory had flying just for skeleton/dev reasons ("the ability wants to be on a 5-drop, we don't want it to be bigger than 3/3 - give it some simple ability"; or "the art came back looking like it flies - give it flying").
(Personal Incarnation doesn't really count, as it only acquired the Incarnation type later via errata; it wasn't designed as "an Incarnation" in the sense of Challenge # 156.)
So the question really is "did Alex intend his creations to be part of a tight cycle?" And the answer is clearly no. Certainly not with each other - it'd be practically impossible for a mythic and an uncommon to be in a tight cycle with each other. And I didn't even envisage them within separate tight cycles. Posterity's 2/4 stats don't lend themselves to a tight cycle either; and mythics in cycles tend to have a strong flavour tie to the set they're in, and I can't quite imagine a set where incarnations like Charisma here are vital elements to the story and flavour and setting.
See Challenge # 156.
After I added this to the list, I couldn't stop thinking about how to make it into a card. I also couldn't decide whether to make this red or black.
I'm a little surprised you didn't include an evergreen keyword on this or Posterity, since barring Personal Incarnation, Genesis was the only incarnation to not have. Well Guile has some weird some weird menace+1, but that seems to be a nerf to unblockable, which seems in spirit with the evergreen keywords.
Thanks, Alex.
I made Acceptance.
• Perseverance
• Addiction
... And then I made Addiction because I couldn't stop thinking about my own word.
