That's really interesting. What things make a color distinctive that haven't already been done? What would its strengths and weaknesses be?
First effort, copies of my "extraplanar elf" cards from Gentlemen Magicians, playing up the old flavour of elves as otherworldly beings: Wild Hunt Scout, Wild Hunt Renegades and Elf Queen's Ride.
Created for Challenge # 018.
A copy of Planar Wanderer from Gentlemen Magicians, because those creatures were designed to be "other"
I used
instead of 
for "purple".
The design team you are on has decided to add a sixth color to Magic: the Gathering. In theory, purple cards are only supposed to be in this block, but we'll be keeping an eye on this mechanic to see if it will work in future Magic expansions.
While the design team knows they want to go forward with this plan, they can't seem to agree on what the color purple means, so it is up in the air. Purple is to have it's own basic land type. The basic land has been temporarily been referred to as "Underdark" and taps to add 1 purple mana to your mana pool. Don't let the name of the land confuse you, though. It has a name, just so we can refer to the land as something, but the concept is not locked into place.
When creating purple cards, use the snow symbol "
" to represent purple mana. Keep in mind, we aren't creating snow cards really, but it's the closest we have right now.
Go for it. Link, you can add another one as well if you want.
It's been over 7 days since the last challenge has been posted. If no one has any objections, I'll just make challenge # 018.
Mmm. Also good for intimidating your opponent, by packing a few of these babies in your sideboard, then flashing them around.
It's like those blank proxy cards they had in the old World Championship decks so you could change them up while still keeping the nonstandard card back consistent!
Mysteeeeerious...
Yes, this is absolutely what I was after. It's clearly a red ability, clearly could have been done in Zendikar-block (probably Worldwake), and undeniably one mana :P (Though perhaps it might need to be made two mana in development. But details.)
Ha. Yes, I could definitely see this getting printed in Mirrodin. Pretty similar to Mirran Mettle, in fact. The 2/4 set-specific versions of boons are just too easy, aren't they?
I like the anti-Crumble-ness of it though - that's a nice touch :)
Hee. I love this kind of reimagining of history. I was expecting things more within the modern colour pie, but I did love Brute Force and Healing Leaves as reimaginings of the boon cycle, so I'm always happy to read musing on this kind of alternate history :)
Collection Machine's Solace and Orbital Jump, being cards for Antiquities.
(Could have just taken the easy route and moved stuff out of mirrodin, but never mind.)
Challenge # 017 entry. Jump, only hopefully good enough to print in an artifact set. (Tempted to make it completely unblockable, but trying to stick within things printed at the time.)
Challenge # 017 entry. Variant Healing Salve (also Leonin Elder, sort of) for an artifact set.
for Challenge # 017 Antonym of Crumble and, obviously, a variant Giant Growth for an artifact set in the same way Electrostatic Bolt is a variant Lightning Bolt.
Placeholder for mine:
Sudden Shift
For Challenge # 017
This was printed in sorcery format as Raze. I was considering different wording, but the essence of the card is that it needs to destroy both your land and another land to be fair.
The block I was thinking of was Zendikar, where man-lands were present. The instant speed of this makes it a combat trick.
Not sure if this is what this challenge is looking for though :)
