1/1
I played Gruul in competitive Magic once. Turn 5, I tapped out for Zhur-Taa Ancient. My opponent proceeded to play Sphinx's Revelation for 6, then killed my Ancient with Devour Flesh. In response, I ripped off my shirt, grabbed a nearby rock, and smashed him in the head.
MDenham: Soulsap is an interesting keyword but sadly very limited. In the cases where your opponent has +1/+1 counters it’s ridiculously good, but when your opponent doesn’t you’ve got a useless keyword. AsianInvasion: A cool card. I get that NPH was pushing the boundaries a little bit with what the cards could do, but I don’t think that giving a creature -0/-1 is a very red thing to do. Maybe +1/-1 until end of turn? I do get that it combos with its first ability, though. k-rad: Definitely a rare or uncommon. Also, the card should be “…where X is the number of -1/-1 counters on enchanted creature.” Also, your IIW sucks. Cardz5000: A nice curve-topper for Big Red. It’s similar to Hellrider in many ways. It could probably get out of hand with a decent sized board, but other than that it’s fine. Reminds me of Instigator Gang. Emocakes: As if red needed another unplayable six-mana-plus omgsorandom rare enchantment. Cythare: A cool card, but I worry about the prospect of a 2/2 trample on turn 1 that can easily get bigger. I would probably cost this at 2(P/G)(P/G). arbitraryarmor: Not a bad card, but it feels powerful when you mill it. Then again, red/white aren’t really the colors to self-mill. I love the flavor, by the way. Prophylaxis: A great card but feels incredibly mono-black. I really like the flavor here and it feels great as a phyrexian card. pstmdrn: Ehh. Shouldn’t be uncommon, and Corrosive Gale does this better. CC: A really nice card. It has that perfect balance of blue effect that isn’t broken in other colors. It feels a little expensive at three/four mana; I’d probably make it a 2/1 or a 2/2 at that cost. Other than that it’s really nice and the flavor is fun. Human Construct tribal gogogo avatarz: Another nice card. This is probably a rare, but uncommon isn’t a terrible match either. I like the flavor, but I really worry about the power level on this one. Suicide black decks would probably break this card. Imagine this in a format with Geralf’s Messenger. Ick. G’s Mom: Pay ALL the life against control! No, really, this card is pretty cool. I really like the flavor going on here. Personally, I would cost it at 3(P/B)(P/B) and have the bounce be 1(P/U)(P/U), but this way works fine too. I worry a bit about the power level, but the 3/1 body covers for that nicely. An interesting card all-around. Sir Aureus: 10/10, would blow air out of my nose again PanchoPonceN: On one hand, it’s one of those cards that will find a deck where it wins the game that it comes down by turning your Gitaxian Probes into divinations, but on the other hand it’s a useless topdeck. I’m not sure how I feel about this one. Sir Karn: The -3 should be a -2 and probably less narrow, the +1 shouldn’t be so conditional (maybe put an artifact token into play with no abilities?), and the ultimate is appropriate. Winterspring: As I found out when I was hosting the MCC, Mirrain and Phyrexian are not defined characteristics. Factoring in the fact that reprints of cards (M13 Turn to Slag, for instance) from the SOM block lack their watermarks and this card just doesn’t work. LnGrrrR: Inexorable Tide does this and fairer. I’d probably make this monoblack and cost it at one more mana. pussyfirespike: Although all colors get their share of their LD, colorless scares me a bit. It’s not so bad when there’s a four life price tag alongside it, but still. Aminor: Great flavor here and nice balance. It’s probably an uncommon, but I like what’s going on here. 3/2 first strike and infect is pretty brutal, though. It takes a 5/4 just to take it down, and it’s not that hard to get it out. I’d adjust the numbers on that half a bit, but otherwise I love what’s going on here. Gideon_Jura: If you’re going to criticize others for their grammar, please at least take into account when they give you advice on the proper wording ofyour card. TacticalCelebrant: I like this card a lot, but I worry about the power level. I’m going to assume rare because that makes the most sense. It’s a really nice concept, though. Good job. TMCT: Affinity was not in SOM, but that’s not a huge issue. It feels well designed, although it would probably be cleaner as “equipped creatures you control have lifelink.” soul2400: This is pretty weak. It’s far too suicidal to even see play; dropping this on turn 1 literally means that you have no way of winning with straight damage. Reconsider it another time and try again.
Winner: CC
HM: Aminor, Prophy
Next: Your invitational card
For what it's worth, my cards were from a "next time we see New Phyrexia, it's playing around with +1/+1 counters" set. In addition to soulsap, there would be a couple of other +1/+1 counter mechanics (possibly evolve; more likely a "reversed infect" where the creature gains +1/+1 counters for dealing damage to other creatures, but gives out poison counters to players otherwise).
I'm ignoring this challenge because my wife needs to go to the ER for the second time in three days.
Hey, thanks for actually judging my card on its merits instead of using it as fodder for an outside dispute. Glad you have the ability to make sure that your personal feelings about a card's creator don't cause your judgment to be affected in any way. And you're totally correct in saying that people who help others with their card wordings are exempt from speaking English correctly. Obviously, that's totally logical. I can't believe I challenged your brilliant mind in any way, shape or form. Silly old me.

Oops, I forgot to actually judge your card. Sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
Gideon_Jura: I feel iffy about this one. It's a more limited Grave Betrayal that works for your creatures as well. I'd probably make this a white or black and have it only work for opponent's creatures.

I appreciate the judgment. I apologize for being a little prickly about the whole capitalisation thing and the lack of judgment in the original post. That was my bad, and the rudeness was unwarranted, hope you can forgive me. I was being a prick and a pedant.

You forgot to capitalise your proper nouns. That's terrible grammar, just saying.
Here, fixed it for you:
Changes are in bold. In the future, remember that capital letters exist for a reason: they indicate proper nouns, sentence beginnings, et al.

You do realize that I have a quote about two pages back correcting the wording of your entry, right?
Also, it's been two days since the challenge started. My surrogate judgements are inbound.
