I was bored tonight and was just making some random cards. Let me know what you guys think; I'm sure they're all either overpowered or underpowered, but whatever.
Mesmerizing Void doesn't work. X is zero if a spell isn't on the stack, It is also overpowered.
containment sphere -- oblation is 3cc, doesn't exile a permanent (just makes it shuffle into a library), can't target land, and makes the player draw 2 cards. Overpowered.
cybirg samyrai costs too low.
Gem of life -- I suppose you meant "forest". Overcosted.
Vestiquie is stupid broken, Casting cost is irrelevant when a card is this powerful, as it just means it will be cheated into play.

Like everflowing chalice, mesmerizing void needs to come into play with counters = to x and probably come into play tapped as a drawback. The drawback on the chalice is that you have to pay XX for only X mana. Coming into play tapped will synergize with the last 2 abilities.
As said containment sphere is too powerful. You could try to make it another swords variant by limiting it to creatures. (swords to plowshares, path to exile)
Gem of Life templating needs to be change. G =/= forest. Mana is different from lands. It needs to say "whenever you tap a forest, add G...".
Vestique is just ridiculous. The closest cards to it in magic are emrakul, the aeons torn and progenitus and they don't have close to the same number of abilties on Vestique. It might be fun to make an ultimate unkillable god card, but it won't be fun for anybody to play with. You need to slash the number of abilities on it; only keep the ones most in line with your idea - a destroyer of planes - for that matter you could drop the first 2 lines of abilities an still have the core of what you want. This will also enable you to drop her casting cost; and while you're at it, drop the p/t as well. Like emrakul, the comes into play ability should only work if Vestique is cast from your hand, because she most likely will always be cheated into play anyway - gives you no incentive ever to actually play her for her casting cost.
So if I were to say "you're a complete douchebag who has his head up his ass so far he's using his own eyeballs as glasses," you'd simply shrug it off?

Gem of life is not Vernal Bloom. The Gem only affects forests you control. I might make is cost one colorless more myself, but other than that I think it's fine, aside from templating issues.
Again, cyborg samurai is way under costed, and I'm just wondering why it isn't an actual samurai?
Containment sphere might be better if it was just another version of swords, like Zabar mentioned.

vestique......uh.......goryos vengeance exists. through the breach exists. if it said cast instead of enters the battlefield it would be a little less unfair but still stupid broken.
Thanks
Containment Sphere is broken. See Oblation.
Cyborg Samurai is too good. See Garruk's Companion.
Gem of Life is already a card. See Vernal Bloom. (Also, you can't tap mana.)
Vestique is just silly.

Which is relevant approximately 20% of the time. Not saying they're identical, but for all intents and purposes, it's been done before.
