Murder for token decks, but not that useful otherwise.
Emrakul's Mark..... looks ok, although for the mass-flash, an additional cost is necessary owing to the fact it allows you to immediately use those colorless mana you get, unlike Braid of Fire. Oh, and Devoid is unnecessary, unless you actually wanted this to be green.
Highlander is fine. Reword: For each name among nonbasic lands a player controls, that player chooses a permanent with that name and sacrifices the rest. 2 mana should be ok for the effect.

Lifelow 2 (The next creature spell you cast this turn cost 2 less to cast.)
Vital Ascent seems to need a single creature shell to make some sort of combo or find a finisher in a control deck. It may go well in a superfriends style control deck because we are trying to avoid the creature type. a tutor that you have to warp your deck around seems fairly safe. I'm not sure how we are hoping lifelow to play... Is it found commonly on creatures and we are trying to out aggro our opponent? If we are curving out lifelow only helps us play a colorless creature card. Not something I am excited to play with.
I'm posting a card idea from the Return to Ravnica cycle. 3 color cards that mix the guilds together seem interesting. Ideally a card could be played in any of the 3 guilds within a 3 color card. In this case merging Rakdos, Gruul and Golgari. Other guild combinations are harder

Colossal Growth2G Instant
Target creature gets +5/+5 until end of turn.
Well its an intriguing idea. Wizards hasn't done much with the generic reference to counters like giant fan where its not necessarily tied to the -1/-1 counter in your example, if you cast this on an arcbound bruiser it would become a 2/2 infect since a -1/-1 and +1/+1 cancel out but it still has counters on it. But this makes me wonder about an ambiguity with your design. While the infect is of indefinite length while the creature still has counters on it, what happens if it loses all its counters and infect, then later regains a counter? Does it regain infect too? Either way, its loosely akin to tainted strike, it would be better as an instant so you could use it a combat trick in either direction, the ability to temporarily negate an attacker so its hitting your full second life total until you can remove it is similar. But tainted strike itself has the problem that its pretty useless offensively, because you wouldn't want to run an infect deck with non-infect creatures, and outside of an infect deck, why do you want an instant/sorcery that gives things infect? It works for limited as a way to 'fix' your non-phyrexian creatures, but at uncommon thats a bit strained. And if it was offensive, nobody would want to play this when they're constructed a OHKO infect deck since its a pseudo-4-less-power than [c]tainted strike[c] for 3x the mana at sorcery speed. As a piece of removal, I'd almost like to see this give two -1/-1 counters at 3 mana and sorcery speed, that would be a great card in limited

Well I do like where you're going with the idea, but it does have problems. Theres no guarantee exit clause from this loop other than decking the opponent, which makes this the kind of scary 2 mana card that OHKO's. And thats dependent on combos to enable it, like mycosynth lattice, or instantly winning against some hypothetical landless deck, although all the ones I know run colorless artifacts anyway. But I think given that theres no real cheap combo, unlike painter's servant, it should be printable as you've got it. But while its offensive normal use is probably balanced- better than diplomacy of the wastes, not a blightning but pretty good- is its self cast side safe? Given you made it devoid so you could slot in 4 and still have an all or mostly colorless deck, this could pour most of your library into your graveyard, granted you'd need some careful construction or trick or else be an unreliable random number of cards drawn (and risk getting them in hand), like a goblin char-belcher without the instant kill. And at only 2 cmc, I'm sure someone could find a way to break a traumatize. But then again, any combos would be made difficult by needing colorless cards to avoid whiffing, so it would be tough

If this was bumped up to injure 2 I could see playing it in limited.

Thank you for your feedback. Originally I had worded it a little differently, and the original wording felt a lot worse. Originally it was "At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on this creature. If it is sent to your graveyard this way, put a token copy of it into play that is a 1/1." That seemed extremely unwieldy, so I tried to cut as much fat away as possible. I can see your point though for sure, so I would have to consider better solutions.
Whenever ~ attacks, you may return target creature with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking. That creature gains +3/+3 and trample until end of turn. Exile that creature at the beginning of the next endstep.
I get the 'definitely not blue' flavor of it, but it's hard to judge how four color cards should work or how powerful they should be. A 5/5 with trample and haste for four is amazing, and adding on Unearth + Awaken the Bear might be a little much. You compared it to Yore-Tiller Nephilim, and that's a 2/2 with no keyword abilities for the same cost and difficulty of casting. Personally, I don't think the complexity of the mana cost should lend it too much extra power, as no one in their right mind is going to hardcast it, especially in these colors.

Permanents you control become Forest lands until end of turn.
I wanted this to be a flavorful answer to a boardwipe in green. Very few boardwipes destroy lands, so temporarily turning all of your cards into Forests would save them from being destroyed. It would also let you ramp out a huge chunk of mana at the cost of tapping all of your permanents, or make sweet plays with cards like Howl of the Night Pack that care about the number of lands or Forests you control.

Artifact
When Timebomb comes into play, put X Time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a Time counter from Timebomb. When Timebomb has no Time counters on it, destroy all creatures that have no Protection counter.
Add a Time counter to Timebomb: Put a Protection counter on target creature. This effect may only be activated once per turn.
This seems like it could be interesting, but it could also be a card that gets stuck in your hand since you're obviously not going to play it if you have more than one of a card type in your graveyard already.
Bruised and Bloody
R
Enchant - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets Injured 1 (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on this creature. If it would be sent to your graveyard this way, remove all counters and it becomes a 1/1.)
Death-Rage Nephilim
BRGW
Creature Legendary Nephilim
Trample, haste
Whenever ~ attacks, you may return target creature with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking. That creature gains +3/+3 and trample until end of turn. Exile that creature at the beginning of the next endstep.
5/5
I know it seems a bit like the non-green nephilim, but I feel like this is a very good try at making a "Definetly Not Blue" nephilim
Thank you for your feedback. Originally I had worded it a little differently, and the original wording felt a lot worse. Originally it was "At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on this creature. If it is sent to your graveyard this way, put a token copy of it into play that is a 1/1." That seemed extremely unwieldy, so I tried to cut as much fat away as possible. I can see your point though for sure, so I would have to consider better solutions.
I get the 'definitely not blue' flavor of it, but it's hard to judge how four color cards should work or how powerful they should be. A 5/5 with trample and haste for four is amazing, and adding on Unearth + Awaken the Bear might be a little much. You compared it to Yore-Tiller Nephilim, and that's a 2/2 with no keyword abilities for the same cost and difficulty of casting. Personally, I don't think the complexity of the mana cost should lend it too much extra power, as no one in their right mind is going to hardcast it, especially in these colors.

Permanents you control become Forest lands until end of turn.
I wanted this to be a flavorful answer to a boardwipe in green. Very few boardwipes destroy lands, so temporarily turning all of your cards into Forests would save them from being destroyed. It would also let you ramp out a huge chunk of mana at the cost of tapping all of your permanents, or make sweet plays with cards like Howl of the Night Pack that care about the number of lands or Forests you control.
