Spiritbound(When this creature dies, you may choose an unpaired creature. If you do, attach this creature and pair it with the chosen creature.)
Flying, lifelink.
Creature spiritbound by Soul of Ones Self gets +3/+3 has Flying and lifelink.
I'll be completely honest, I completely forgot about y'all in lieu of exams.
So, I'll be giving up to 20 points for the bonding mechanic, and 5 points for the actual card. Only the first card listed will be judged, but the mechanic as a whole will be judged across all cards.
Megatroid_Jones: This is the better nemesis, but it has the issue of feeling too much like soulbond, just being soulbond but enemies, hur hur. That's not too interesting, but luckily provides a large amount of new design space that you barely explored. 17pts The Card itself is fine, being slow and complicated removal but ok at uncommon. Being a 2 mana really slow flame lash is... odd at best. 2pts. 19/25
iphanx: So, this mechanic is haunt 2.0. That's not a good thing. Both mechanics are confusing as hell, especially to newer players, and are rather unituitive to remembering. This has more space than haunt, but it still has a lot of underlying problems. 8pts. Your card is too weak for a rare 2 drop. 2pts. Total: 10/25
Winterspring: The lesser nemesis mechanic is obviously meant for conspiracy, but makes the game much more like a 1 on 1 and kind of takes away from the spirit of the format. On another note, the nemesis commander is really weird and should not be a thing. 12pts. The first card is even more for conspiracy, has formatting issues, and is really cornercase. 3pts. Total: 15/25
Forestguy: MY GOD IS THIS TOO COMPLICATED. I almost vomitted before finishing the reminder text. 6. The second card is weak unless there's about 452 tapping effects in the format. 2. Total: 8/25
Ruki: This mechanic is... odd. It raises a lot of questions, and will often remain confusing with additions. This also closes a lot of the design space in the format, disallowing a lot of upkeep or end step triggers. 13 The card is odd as well and often times acts as a hundred handed one, but it way easier to disrupt. 3 Total: 16/25
Flatline: This format is much like the better nemesis mechanic that megatroid made, but has the same problem where it's too close to soulbond. 17. The card is a bit more intresting, acting as a contditional pacifism if your opponent doesn't want you to have value. 4. 21/25
RyuumiGarokumi: So, this mechanic is haunt 2.0. That's not a good thing. Both mechanics are confusing as hell, especially to newer players, and are rather unituitive to remembering. This has more space than haunt, but it still has a lot of underlying problems. 8. The card is a bit intresting, making this particular card a reverse bestow. 4. 12/25
The winner is Flatline, so y'all have to make thieves as creature types.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted people to see I was done. I'm a bit disappointed that nobody took a shot at a backstab ability.
RyuumiGaroukuni - This is an interesting card. I kinda reminds of me Mimic Vat a little bit. I think it would be rather difficult to really get this going though considering its small body, lack of evasion, and lack of a way to protect itself. Also, I really feel like this card should only be able to exile/steal instants and sorceries considering its colors. At the very least, it needs to be changed to nonland, or the copy ability needs to be reworded. It definitely feels like a Thief though.
RukiMotomiya - I don't have any problem with this not being a creature as it still interacts with the Thief creature type. I don't really like the idea of Bushido for Thieves though.
iphanx - A creature that becomes a lord for a turn when a certain condition is met is interesting, but it certainly makes the card much less elegant. I like how the card's abilities all tie together, I just just feel like it could have been done in a more elegant way.
banastronaut - The wording here is off quite a bit, but I'm still able to see that this is intended to be Aethersnatch on a creature. I would suggest putting the cost in mana cost itself and wording like this..."When ~ enters the battlefield, gain control of target spell with converted mana cost X. You may choose new targets for it. (If that spell becomes a permanent, it enters the battlefield under your control.). Setting aside the wording, I think the card seems pretty cool, and fairly well balanced. I'm not so sure how much I like the ability in mono-red though.
Figurative - This is a tough card to balance. It seems very underpowered until you start casting this for 7 or more. At four CMC, you get a 1/1, and hopefully a decent 1 drop out of your opponent's GY. That doesn't seem worth it for 4 CMC. It might be pretty decent in EDH though.
Winterspring - I'm not sure I get the flavor of this. So it steals the abilities of an Avatar in your library by dealing damage to an opponent? Doesn't seem right.
Winner — banastronaut

It was just brought to my attention that I somehow missed judging Mergatroid_Jones and Forestsguy when I judged for the "thief challenge". My sincerest apologies. Somehow I managed to miss both of these entries when I judged. Don't ask me how. I'll try to post judgments for those two cards asap, even if it won't matter for the challenge.
Edit -
Mergatroid_Jones - I like the idea of this, but I think the "Thief can't be blocked" part hould be a seperate ability. The second ability is interesting and unique. I like it.
Forestsguy - This card reminds me of RyuumiGaroukuni's card a bit. While I found Ryuumi's card to be a bit on the weak side, this card has the opposite problem, although it might be fine. Unlike Ryuumi's card, your card can have multiple spells imprinted on it. I think it might be a bit more balanced if it could only have one spell imprinted on it at a time. It could be handled like Mimic Vat. Ultimately, I like the execution of your card better, and think the card is pretty cool.
