Whew, this card just seems very oddly worded. Should it not just be "Untap target land, it becomes a 2/2 creature until end of turn. That creature blocks this turn if able."? Or something more like that? I'm just not a huge fan in general though, it's some sort of awkward land-dest or it gives you another attacker? At least it's different and interesting.
I had to word it this way. Basically, its supposed to drag your opponent's land into combat, effectively a land destruction card. It needs to be able to block while tapped, otherwise it could just be tapped for mana and remain outside of combat.

Oh, you're right. I didn't realize that, I'm sorry. Well, I gave you 2nd place anyways ^^, and even with this new information, that's still where you'd place.

I like the design. It's very powerful though, and the cantrip shouldn't be on this card ever. I would most definately play this in any blue deck even without the cantrip, since this neuters 80% of cards in standard/Extended, and 100% of cards in EDH. Blue doesn't need this.

Again, this is too powerful of removal for blue. At the cost of devoting 1 sideboard slot to clone or the like, monoblue essentially gets "Target creature's controller sacrifices it." At 3 cost it would be hard to justify black getting that. (Yes, there is unmake which is powerfully color intensive.)
Ryder
Seems very balanced outside multiplayer since the cost is very prohibitive, however in multiplayer this is far too nuts. If it simply said destroy twice that many lands target player controls, then I'd have no problem. As is... Eh...
Turbo Slug
Seems like a very roundabout way of saying destroy target land. Green doesn't have an issue with getting straightlanddestruction, so the whole effort of trying to fit it into greens pie is... Unnecessary, and disappointingly done. It's just a really bad Creeping Mold.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
Doom Lich - Seem like a basic and very splashable for a black kill spell. The dredge X seems good because the better you are the harder it gets, but fits in so well with your erosion mechanic.
Lyzl - Seems a bit limited for the cost. Only destroying a legendary creature could be hard if an opponent does not have one in the battlefield when you draw this card. Guess you have to destroy the legends in order to gain control of that other creature. The momentous supertype means that you could run only one of it in the deck, and that is if your opponent has not casted the same one in the case that there's no graveyard removal. Very nice flavor text.
Rimeshade - Seems a bit low on the cost for the effect. Good mix of colors for the effect. The kicker is good in cost and effect. Flavor text is nice.

Well, I didn't close the round prior to this, so I won't penalize anyone for being late when I was The next round should be up later today, probably up by noon-ish but if not it will be up late tonight
I opened one last year, got two crap worldwake packs and 8x scathe zombies, which I promptly hid around my sister's apartment for her roommates to find. But, yeah, it was a piece of crap.
You, sir, have just won the internet. Congratulations.

Mummify seems more like a raise dead to me and the p/t change is weird.

I think this is too good for the cost and not blue.
Shaddock
Pretty cool idea, I like the type interplay.
Kiwi
I think it could be an instant, it's not bad though.
