Now that judging's all done, I can post the rest of the cycle. The idea I had was a cycle of equipment based on the Gateless stealing something from the enemy-colored guilds and using it against them. I couldn't think of a way to get this across on the card, but I did come up with a rough idea of what the others would look like.
Mutant-Skin Cloak?
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has hexproof.
Whenever a green or blue creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature.
Equip ? "Too much Toad! TOO MUCH TOAD!"
Fistful of Gold?
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has lifelink.
Whenever a black or white creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature.
Equip ? "I was afraid they'd use the stolen money to fund their rebellion. It seems they had a more ironic use in mind.
Unfinished Prototype?
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has prowess.
Whenever a red or blue creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature.
Equip ? "Wait! At least let me attach the tachyon transducer first!"
Gorgon Mask?
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has deathtouch.
Whenever a green or black creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature.
Equip ? "Aw man, I was gonna eat that"

I updated the Round thread with lists provided by bravelion (many thanks!) and excluded Time Spiral from the criteria.
Also we're not counting From the Vault and the Master sets. I've greatly underestimated the complexity of this challenge.
Sorry for all the confusion.

Uniqueness (0.5/3): Quite plain to be honest. While this helps elegance quite a bit, it does hurt on the novelty part.
[/spoiler]
Not that it changes anything since I'm already moving to the next round, but I have to admit I find this comment confusing. Based on the rubric, scoring a 0.5/3 should be nearly impossible for this challenge anyway, combining two keyword abilities from distant sets. Further, there isn't a card out there that reduces it's own monstrosity ability.
I can understand if you personally feel its a bit plain, but how does that warrant this score? What is your thought process?
(0/3) Elegance - This round naturally lead you towards making complex cards, and not only this is no exception, but it even looks like additional complexity was added on purpose. The chosen keywords are already complex, but you could change them to the simplest keywords in the world and the text would be confusing anyway. I had to think for several minutes about how such a triggered ability within a static effect works in the rules and I haven't been able to reach a definitive conclusion despite consulting the CR, and I am a twelve-year experienced player who also happens to be a big rules fan even though I'm not an official judge (note to self: yet?). I can only imagine how confusing this card must be to a less experienced or more casual player, and add the math required to play this card correctly on top of all that. Having X and double X as costs already doesn't help, but then you realize that the double X is just the cmc because X is defined as half the cmc, so you have to calculate half the cmc and then double the half going back to the original value, and the result may also be different because of rounding. I could go on for quite some time. I honestly think this must be one of the most complex cards I've ever seen.
Oh, geez, hahaha. It wasn't my intent to waste your time on referencing the rulebook. I thought you'd definitely scratch your head for a sec, but then just roll your eyes and maybe have a chuckle. The compressed wording (and the extraneous line break) was a desperate effort to keep the rules text to within a reasonable length when actually formatted on a card. Making this work in a more clear, "correct" way was taking up way too much text. (probably should have been the point where I scrapped this and designed something more sensible).
Your critique made for hilarious reading. I hope you don't hate me now, after putting you through that.

No problem, I did it because I wanted to. As I said, I know the rules quite well but I always check the CR whenever I have a doubt.
(probably should have been the point where I scrapped this and designed something more sensible).
Yes, I agree.

Thanks for the appreciation. I try not to hate anybody, and I certainly don't hate you, don't worry! I hope to see more card designs from you soon.

I am trying to get this one fixed by maybe swapping some things around.
No worries, I think we might gonna run late on round four anyways.
I will have round four up ASAP when I get the scores.
Necarg, do you know around when you'll have your judgments done?
