Rotweaver's Malice: Seems a bit overcosted for the effect (even if you can cast it free under the right circumstances). I think -2/-2 would have been fine. 7/10
Magewright's Ingenuity: As a card on it's own, I think it's solid, but as part of the cycle it feels out of place. The other cards are all about mass effects. I feel like Blue's version should either tap all [permanent] or bounce all [permanent]. 6/10
Dryad's Disdain3G

If you've cast another green spell this turn, you may cast Dryad's Disdain without paying its mana cost.
Dryad's Disdain deals 2 damage to each creature with flying.

Creature - Squid
W,T: Tap target attacking or blocking creature and remove it from combat.
1/1
Next: A creature that encourages mono-color play with a method other than colored mana cost.
Dryad's Disdain: Like it a lot, definitely something I can see Green getting as a free tagged-on effect. 8/10
Inkblot Squid: Nice ability, multidirectional Reconnaissance works as an ink cloud effect. Just not quite sure that a squid blowing that ink cloud "feels" right as a flavorful W ability? That might be splitting hairs but 1/1 also feels like a pretty damn small squid. I would love this as color pie growth if it had a fatter ass and was all U. 6.5/10

Guildless Freeman has -1/-1 for each nonwhite color amongst permanents on the battlefield.

3, 2/3 (Whenever damage without deathtouch is dealt to ~, remove that many loyalty counters from ~ instead. Whenever ~ has no loyalty counters, put ~ into its owner's graveyard; this is a state-based action.)
elspeth- 4/10 imo- the first ability is too cheap, should only target one creautre; the second ability does to much: Infect, First strike, Pro-Blue&Green? drop on of the colors or First Strike... the ultimate ability needs to be more, as with the first ability- it'd be too easy to completely wipe an opponent's field with thier own poison counters.

snow-mana requirements shouldn't allow for such color bleed. direct damage in blue/white only makes sense flavorfully here, but not enough flavor to excuse the effectiveness... then again, you have a pokemon here, so naturally it's ability deals some damage
Obscure Tutor1B
Sorcery (R)
Choose a color. Target opponent may search your library for a card of the chosen color and put that card into your hand. If that player doesn't, you do so. Shuffle your library afterwards.
Obscure Tutor seens overpowered... just put other colors cards you want to grab (4 of them) in your black deck and you can grab it for 1B. Basically a Demonic Tutor if you're deck is built right. I could also see this being used in limited to fetch your splashed removal/bomb card. Also I think the world "reveal" is necessary in there somewhere otherwise you wouldn't have to prove that you fetched the proper color... that is if the player chose not to fetch it themselves. I was thinking 7, but due to missed rules text, it's a 6/10.
Nameless Chum B
Creature (Uncommon)
Sacrifice Nameless Chum: target creature attacks this turn if able. To lure the dumb is easy, but fun.
0/1
Next: A powerful creature with the creature type that is YOUR favorite creature on Earth. Bonus points for a "lord" effect (something that effects all creatures of that type like Elvish Champion)
Nameless Chum: Seems like a simple enough effect, but since it's a 0/1 it might as well just be a seal-style enchantment. Forcing an attack is also typically a red or blue ability. 7/10

Other Bear creatures you control get +2/+2 and have Vigilance.

Next: Make a vertical cycle (Common, Uncommon, Rare) of mono-red control cards.
Ursus Dominus- a 4/4 with Vigilance for 3 is WAY too cheap, and considering he and does a moderate boost for an uncommon creature type-- it's even moreso. 6/10 because it needs to cost more, and the boost not so big. Also, consider there are technically only 16 Fish in the entirity of M:tG.

Creature-Human Shaman (MR)
If you would discard creature a card, you may cast that card for up to 2 less than it's casting cost instead of putting into your graveyard. I once was lost, but now I am found. -Amazing Grace
2/3
Seems kind of overpowered due to you being able to make the discard happen... ah, I'll add "creature card" because definite shennanigans can ensue with other spell types (especially with storm spells). And that makes it more flavorful according to it's name. Ideally I'd make it "If a spell or effect an opponent controls causes you to discard a card..." but that wouldn't fit the request. I'd imagine that inside block there would be no "Discard a card: effect" cards since it would be really too powerful in that case. But I think the balancing for legacy comes in making it WW and affect creature cards only.
Next: Make a large creature that's very low costed (with a disadvantage to make up for the cost), but one that is generally playable or could find a home (Death's Shadow is an example of one).
I like this card. I feel as though it could have some combo potential somewhere, which just makes it better. To clean it up a touch, though, I would make it a 2W 2/2. 8/10

Not really sure how to evaluate whether or not this card "deserves" to be both types, so I'll go on the card itself. The cmc and the first part of the ability are totally fine. The second part doesn't really feel like a white card to me. Maybe it could have been a Boros card? Past that, it's not terribly exciting, but damage prevention rarely is. 6.5/10
The Pearl Trident3 Legendary Artifact - Equipment

Pearl Trident- what's so intimidating about a trident? flavorwise, 3/10, especially when the Pearl Trident has a "merfolky" feel to it. it'd be nice with another name- but a Trident, nah. 6/10 overall.

When ~ enters the battlefield, you may look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal and exile a land card revealed this way, if you do- choose a card from the remaining and put it into your hand. If a non-basic land is exiled this, put both cards into our hand.

Dwarven Mine - An enchantment that's a weird fusion of the Karoo cycle and the Peat Bog cycle? I like. The name even makes it sound like an old card. Oh yeah, and it fit the challenge and whatever. My only complaint is that I'm not a fan of non-conventional subtypes unless the card supports why it's that type. 8/10
Thran Forger5
Artifact Creature - Construct Artificer
Aura spells you cast cost 2 less to cast. The Forger has been crafting his glamours long before the Mirrans invented calendars, and he's likely to continue after those cease their usefulness.
3/3
or conversely:
Phyrexian Reprocessor3R
Creature - Artificer
Exile two creatures from a single graveyard: Add R to your mana pool. Researchers Notes Day XXXII: "A crude form of oil can be extracted from the corpses of the more aggressive Mirrans, sufficient enough to power the Dreadnaughts."
3/3
Thran Forger- seems odd for an artifact creature to buffer for aura cards; especially with "Thran" in the name. change the name and it'd be interesting. 7.5/10 Reprocessor- again, seems odd that a Phyrexian would generate :symr:, change it black because red would use the auxillary mana source to cause some serious damage. That said, it feels like Night Soil in the "exile two cards from any one graveyard" sense. 6.5/10

S/he/it said "printable", not "playable". S/he/it wanted valid green flying, which this card is not a particularly strong example, and were the request for "playable", it's still really on the Constructed power level usually inferred by the word. And, as always, the templating is way off.

Willcrusher Demon [MANA]1B[/MANA]
Creature - Demon
Flying, Haste
You can't cast this during your first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth turns of the game.

When ~ enters the battlefield, you may look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal and exile a land card revealed this way, if you do- choose a card from the remaining and put it into your hand. If a non-basic land is exiled this, put both cards into our hand. Shuffle your library and put the remain card, if any, on top.
1/2
Next- storyshift Predator, Flagship- after all, it crashed.
King of Misfortune & Master of Rocket Launchers

Enchantment - Aura Structure
Enchant mountain
When Dwarven Mine enters the battlefield, put three mine counters on enchanted land.
Enchanted land has "T, Remove a mine counter from this land: Add 1R to your mana pool."
When enchanted land has no mine counters, or Dwarven Mine leaves the battlefield, sacrifice enchanted land.
Next: An immigrant from a foreign plane that isn't a planeswalker.
Thran Forger 5
Artifact Creature - Construct Artificer
Aura spells you cast cost 2 less to cast.
The Forger has been crafting his glamours long before the Mirrans invented calendars, and he's likely to continue after those cease their usefulness.
3/3
or conversely:
Phyrexian Reprocessor 3R
Creature - Artificer
Exile two creatures from a single graveyard: Add R to your mana pool.
Researchers Notes Day XXXII: "A crude form of oil can be extracted from the corpses of the more aggressive Mirrans, sufficient enough to power the Dreadnaughts."
3/3
Next: Printable flying in green
Thran Forger- seems odd for an artifact creature to buffer for aura cards; especially with "Thran" in the name. change the name and it'd be interesting. 7.5/10
Reprocessor- again, seems odd that a Phyrexian would generate :symr:, change it black because red would use the auxillary mana source to cause some serious damage. That said, it feels like Night Soil in the "exile two cards from any one graveyard" sense. 6.5/10
a playable green flier?
Pollen Wisp
Creature- Elemental
~ is green.
Flying
0/1
or if you want me to be "serious"
Boughbender :1mana::symg::symg::symg:
Creature- Spider
Flying when attacking, Reach
"This remarkable specimen has been known to launch itself using the branches of the canopy as a natural catapult. One helionaut pilot [reluctantly] admitted that he 'browned his flightsuit' when he saw one launch itself at his aerocraft. Thankfully, he also states, they stay in the canopy of the forest." -argivian zoologist, notes
3/4
next-
add another Full-spectrum Legendary creature to the roster
King of Misfortune & Master of Rocket Launchers

About any "subpar" mechanics or cards: Context is king.
If I make a templating or grammar error, let me know.
The franchise MtG most resembles is Battlestar Galactica. Why? Its players exist in, at most, a dozen different models at any given point in time, with perhaps up to 3% variation, 5% if you're lucky.
