Mergatroid: Like it, but think it's a little too taxing on your draws AND land plays
PanchoPonceN: I like this tension. Worried it's breakable, but what fun card isn't?
Am Shegar: Very cool tension. Cheaper counterspells, but at the cost of your opp knowing if you have it. Very neat.
Luusydh: Interesting take on imminent doom but realistically this card is just designed to help you cast like... ALL the one-drops or something?
LnGrrrR: I see how the plus abilities play with different resources but this is just lacking in anything new or exciting for me to get behind it.
Manycookies: This is intense and I like the idea, but I feel like there are SO many more things you could have thrown in there that have been in costs of things before. Still, fun take.

That's actually a weird Un-design, to be honest - the cards from those sets are played with mostly just during draft, and stores generally have chairs; even if the chairs are too small and the customers are uncharacteristically tall, nobody looks at opponent's legs during a game - it's not that easy to keep track of them even if you actively tried. At least it dodges the problem of missed triggers... And I don't actually know if the wording allows multiple shocks in a multiplayer game, but if it does, that's a harsh punishment.

That's not "intresting", that's "scary as hell". BoRoSCHaRm is already uncomfortably pushed, but that at least has one main use and two very rare ones. This beast helps the deck with both the mana screw when you don't have the time to play out your hand before opponent kills you, serving as just infinitesimally worse Lava Spike, with flooding, at which point it's basically cantripping because Burn really doesn't need its fifth land, or just being Boros Charm - which lets you go back to monored and remove colorscrew and slight vulnerability to Blood Moon. The worst part is that it's not really that interesting even despite the power level, because choice will amost always be obvious.

Very cool card, but it only works on MODO - it has a Sylvan Library defect of non-symetrical informtion. And don't get me started on universally hidden zones - shuffle an Echoed Ponder into your library, Brainstorm, cast Ponder as an Echoes: was it in your hand or did you draw it, and if you did, is it the correct Ponder or another copy? Ditching technical difficulties, the card reads like it was designed by an extremely impressive neural network, as it's hard to parce and even harder to parce completely. Which is a shame, because it's basically:
Dumbed-down Echoes of Ishum XR
Sorcery
X must be equal to or lower than the number of other sorcery cards in your graveyard as you cast ~.
Spend only red mana to cast ~.
~ deals X+1 damage to target player.
Flashback XR
It loses the potential for zone trickery, flashback synergy and some other stuff, but retains 90% of its functionality. I'll give you that the card is interesting beyond measure, but it could belong only in Alpha or Future Sight 2038, and even that I type with some doubt.
Bolt from the Blue (Common) U
Instant
Bolt from the Blue deals 3 damage to target creature. That creature's controller draws three cards.
Somewhere, MaRo woke up in the middle of the night, startled, scared, and disgusted.
Ignoring the preposterous violation of the color pie (let's say it's from Planar Chaos), this is better than "U, Sac a creature: Draw three", which should tell you this is not printable. The 1% case where you use it on opponent's stuff is so rare it fails to make the card interesting anyway. It's a nice pun though.

Haste

4/3
I would nerf this card to oblivion, of course, but ignoring the power level that's a beautiful design. The exquisite balance between Burn changing gear and going with a costlier mana curve and the fact that this slowing down makes your life total matter much more is great; this card makes player decide which level of agression is the most optimal not just for each point in time, but also long-term, which was already the most interesting part about playing burn - this just makes decision trees branch much further. The flavor is on point, and the new possibilities for deckbuilding are exciting if scary: Char, anyone?
ManyCookies: (For some reason, quoting doesn't work with your post, sorry.) I've always liked Reality Acid, and this is Reality Acid on acid - or steroids, because it's leagues more powerful. This is a punisher card in disguise: your opponent can either 2-for-1 themselves or lose a huge hunk of life, and they don't always have the choice. Despite this, it looks like an actually playable and exciting card, because you have a good degree of control. Having to open yourself up to more damage is also cool, although burn doesn't usually have ways to win combat anyway. And then there's a choice of target: do you put it on a huge dude that opponent would be less willing to sacrifice, or something small that won't kill you? Moreover, good design choice to put a safety valve that doesn't allow blinking abuse - not sure if neccessary, but better safe than sorry. Unfortunately, the card is kinda self-contained - it is an unusual burn card that still fits with usual burn cards and requires little deck modification - and has too much variance, sometimes doing literally nothing to further your game plan and sometimes both dealing unfair amounts of damage, getting rid of a huge threat and as such giving you time to finish off your opponent. I am not a fan of such unpredictability, which doubles if you stick two of those on the same critter.

MtG is where you can hate white players or black players, and still not be racist.
Am Shegar - It seems like the first two abilities on this would basically cancel each other out, but the last ability could be used as continuous fog if set up correctly. TBH, the first two abilities might actually end up being a net loss more often than not, so the bread and butter of this card definitely seems like it would be the last ability, which would certainly appeal to Johnny.
JamBlock - Heeeere's Johnny! This is a really interesting and original effect. I cringe a bit at the CMC though, because this seems potentially very powerful. Still, this seems like a very difficult card to pull off. I kinda wish it did something else as well. Maybe stick it onto a beefy Wall with lifelink that causes you to lose life every turn? It just seems very laser focused as is. Some flavor text woulda been nice.
Phyrexian Editor - Well, this certainly is a different take on life gain. I'm not sure the second ability needs to be symmetrical though. For 6 CMC, it could totally be "Target player sacrifices a permanent". Pretty fun card though. I really like the flavor.
ManyCookies - Whoa, this is pretty crazy. I could see this being too powerful. It has the potential to deal a lot of damage pretty quickly, and that's not even taking into consideration the one-sided board wipe aspect of the card. I'm not sure I like the black kicker option. It seems unnecessary.
Mergatroid_Jones - Well this challenge certainly brought out some wild ideas. On its own, this card quickly outpaces your opponent since it puts out a 2/2 flyer for each 1 life your opponent gains. Because of this, the activated ability seems a bit unnecessary, although it would be pretty cool against a lifegain deck.
Luusydh - This is another very interesting card. It would be really fun in a Soul Sisters build if you could get it to go off. This is a hard card to judge power-level-wise. I'd really like to try it out. It seems like one of those cards that does nothing a lot of the time, but is super strong when it works, which is ok.
PanchoPonceN - This card is really weird. So, this basically buys you a turn so that you can board wipe? But only if you're already above 20 life? you better have board wipe, because if you need this apparently your opponent is dealing you more than 20 damage. I feel like I'm missing something with this one.
Forestsguy - This card is overly complicated and very difficult to grok. At least in part because it uses a template I've never seen before. It seems like it would promote game stalls when it got enough counters on it.
Winner: JamBlock
