Well, for one, you could put it in today's thread rather than yesterday's. Never mind, you got that covered.
Um... this is basically Mana Drain, except you get colored mana out of it. To be honest, I'd just have it add that spell's mana cost to your mana pool - granted, it works somewhat differently (you get colorless from X and generics rather than the mana your opponent spent, and you can switch hybrid mana up to the color that wasn't spent), but it's roughly the same.
The alternative is just "Add the mana spent to cast that spell to your mana pool."
And you don't need to let people get less mana out of it - mana burn isn't a thing anymore.
tl;dr: Either "Add the mana spent to cast that spell to your mana pool." or "Add that spell's mana cost to your mana pool."

Thanks Mdenham, that's what I was looking for. Cheers! And yes, as soon as I posted it, I was like... "Wait.. uhm.. that's not today, is it?"
Nope. The tokens aren't entering the battlefield from your hand. You get the one guy, plus the token copies for however much damage you've dealt. (It also means you don't get any copies of the guy for reanimating him, or when you flicker him.)

Ah, missed that detail. That's why I enjoy being in the custom card section... I learn so much about various MtG rules, and it also reminds me to read each card closely and carefully. (Not that I follow that advice all the time, obviously.)

What about the card that makes a spell "Epic"? Couldn't you just choose an "extra turn" card and then win out? (Assuming you had advantage in board control that is.)

Possibly, assuming you can win without casting spells before you deck yourself.
You're better off using it on burn of some sort, I think.

You couldn't do anything with those extra turns. Not unless you planned carefully before hand.

The name is awesome. And it drives home the flavor. However, I think it would need a name change before seeing print.
Do you think? Not sure how bad sounds in english, but in spanish (limbo = limbo) sounds cool (at least for me :p)
What about balance? I think it has potential to be a star, and the only probelm would be mass grave hate (Tormod's, Ravenous Trap, Bojuka Bog.) Anyway, at the time an opponent's grave is full enough to have this guy breaking the table, one of the following would probably be happening:
A- You're almost dead
B- He is almost dead (so probably overkill with the goyf)
C- the game is long enough to justify a huge treat in one side (completely vulnerable to removal, except may be for direct damage)
D- You don't have the mass grave hate, or you do but your opponent has hate-hate.
Not sure this annalogy works, since I dedicated no more than 15 mins to think about it when designed the card.

I retract my previous statement. After letting it sit overnight, I like the name quite a bit! Just to sate my curiosity, I did some "scientific" (read: wikipedia) internet research. Limbo, or limbus, is latin for "border". Also...
-Terravore draws it's name from "Terra", the Latin word for Earth.
-Mortivore draws it's name from "Morta" which is Italian for Death.
-Tarmogoyf draws it's name from "Tarmo" which is an antonym AND an anagram of "Morta". It means "energy" or "vigor".
Cool stuff. As far as the mechanics of your card, it does feel a little underwhelming and might require a little more set-up than Tarmogoyf does. However, it's not impossible. Also, I like the idea of dropping this guy on t2, and holding a Dissipate for t3.
Question about the DCC:
Are we allowed to submit creations we've made for other contests, such as CF or other MQ events? I've seen a few items that I recognized from CF.

Yeah, submitting stuff from other contests is fine.
I don't add people with 0 votes unless they've got an asterisk, folks. Quit complaining that you're not on the scoreboard if you got no points the first couple of days.
I Totally meant to forget a mana cost for Time Warp...
Actually, that's a happy accident. Now you have to find an alternate way to cast it, that isn't on the card itself. Which means you have to start mucking with time-like cards to cast it in the first place, making it more flavorful.
Besides the opinion I get from "0 votes", though, what's the opinion on Time Warp? How about Flash of Confusion?
First of all, the wording is horribly difficult to read. Should be worded:
Exile up to 2 target instant or sorcery spells. The owners of those cards may cast them without paying their mana costs.
I assume the rest is because you want it to remember X, but there really is no good way to word it. And I don't think that small bonus is worth the complexity.
I also don't like how the card basically does nothing. "Cast this card for free the next time you get priority" Not too difficult to work around.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.

...OK. Yeah, I knew it would need adjustment.

Remember X, yes, and also... did I remember to include "After the end of your turn"?
Most of the awkward wording was meant to remember X, though.
I also don't like how the card basically does nothing. "Cast this card for free the next time you get priority" Not too difficult to work around.
Oh... I guess I didn't. I meant it to delay the casting until after your turn.
KoolKoal: There are two problems with your card today - one is a minor case of "I'm pretty sure that's not the wording WotC would use in the first place", and the other...
...well, what happens if two Intimidating Walls block the same creature? They can't both be first, but they both refuse to go second or later.
I think the wording that works best is "Creatures not named Intimidating Wall can't go before Intimidating Wall in a damage assignment order.", as that handles the larger problem of "who goes first?".

That's a point, I guess. I think the best solution would be to make it a keyword and then it could be worded: Creatures with KEYWORD must go before creatures without KEYWORD in a damage assignment order.
I'm not sure the mechanic is worth putting on a lot of creatures however.

Choose one - Destroy target land; or destroy two target Forests. The fire jumped from tinder to brush and back again, until the flames reached the heavens.
Possible rewording: "Destroy target land and up to one target Forest?" not quite the same, but i think "choose one" is an overused work around sometimes
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure Blackbull's card would create infinite copies...
