JaceTheBodySculptor – Pretty cool. You can unfortunately sacrifice it for free 100hp. There’s some counting involved but at least it’s only on the upkeep. Funny that you can play another, then another
8/10
Chetoos – Excellent take. The 5 life is probably too strong, but the other abilities make a lot of sense. I’d play it in a combo deck with some fogs in it. Rarity?
9/10
Mergatroid_Jones – Cool and fits the colors. I’m not sure what you’d do with it yet, but there must be plenty of toys out there (emrakul perhaps?). Straightforward but works

Antiantiserum – Hahaha, this is pretty amazing! A bit undercosted perhaps. Brutal in limited, where all the cards have the current year.

TotallyHaywire – Cool concept, decent execution. The math for the two leveling abilities are a bit uncomfortable (levelup ability becoming indifferent at levels 5-999), but I can see it as a viable concept.
8/10
Forestguy – Constantly checking this is pretty ouch. I can see it played first turn in 4-player games like 2HG. Apart from that, it’s a fun theme and a fun mana cost!
8/10
|Katamari| - I love everything about this card. Really smart to throw in a third color and play on Niv Mizzet’s vanity. It’s funny how the card itself transforms into an 8/8 with no abilities permanently
10/10
I liked all the cards but I have to give it to |Katamari| with the very cool ability, even if the number wasn't huge like the others.
The problem with this prompt is that lands usually need other abilities, and some way to get lands out of your graveyard if they don't have mana abilities. Oh well.

605. Mana Abilities
605.1. Some activated abilities and some triggered abilities are mana abilities, which are subject to special rules. Only abilities that meet either of the following two sets of criteria are mana abilities, regardless of what other effects they may generate or what timing restrictions (such as “Activate this ability only any time you could cast an instant”) they may have.
605.1a An activated ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t have a target, it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves, and it’s not a loyalty ability. (See rule 606, “Loyalty Abilities.”)
605.1b A triggered ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t have a target, it triggers from the resolution of an activated mana ability (see rule 106.11a) or from mana being added to a player’s mana pool, and it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves.
The important part is that loyalty abilities are not mana abilities. Urborg, Yawgmoth's Passage

Antipox: While I do get the feeling this is coming from white part, blue by itself makes enough tapping.
TottalyHaywire: I like this very much but I don't feel tapping stuff is something that's coming from green or black, but morr from blue or white: The challenge was meant to push towards allied colors, not enemy color. That's said, I think this is a very intresting design as the effect works as a minipuzzle while being useful until solved and demands your opponent to be very aware of what he's doing as to not make it go off (And, conversely, he can choreograph his moves to make it blow up)
Chwtoos: I don't think this works as a color bleed, it looks like something that should be all three Naya colors.
Katamari: Discard to red is a very interesting choice but I would have gone with random discard to keep it more red. I know that Dash Hopes and Browbeat are examples of colors doing aruff they're not quite supposed to do for the price of a drawback, and I think this qualifies well. I do like the Madness drawback a lot more than the damage one.
8Buffallo: Oh my god, this is nasty! I really like the idea and the drawback of an extra turn is big enough to justify the effect. Seeing red Glorious End I feel this should be costed quite higher in terms of ammount and devorion.
Oh, I misread the challenge. Up to you if you judge it, but here's my submit that's actually in line with the challenge:
(shifting blue counterspell mechanics to black)
Gonti's Remembrance XBB
Instant
Exile target spell with converted mana cost less than or equal to the amount of mana paid to cast Gonti's Remembrance. For as long as that spell remains exiled, you may cast it, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to do so. You lose X life.
Cardz5000: I can see this one and I like it because it's a bleed that seems to be coming grom borh sides. Nowadays white's in the wagon of pteventing atuff from being played and this kind of qyalifies in that sense.
Mergartroid-Jones: Black is in the bussiness of messing with lands but I don't think a mass destruction ss an exciting bleed.
Jace the body sculptor: Well, as I said,.black is in the business of messing with lands, but I feel you went a better way with this. Black has had odds ways to get more.mana and I feel this kind of like a revisiting to an old color pie effect. The gain control effect reminds me of enslave. I would have costed this to put it on par of LD effects of nowadays.
On the other cards, I appreciate your entries and I'm particularly impressed with the champion in training.
TotallyHaywire2: I think this lacks some kind of limitation as to make it viable. This is a great counter but at blue level!
