(Note: Damn it! I just noticed that I typoed on one of my cards D=, supposed to be laced upon it, not places upon it, and it's to late to fix it dang it!)
Persona Non Grata - Very interesting enchant, can be used defensively(if with a bit of a downside) in an Exalted deck to prevent taunting, or more likely offensively.
Deadened Sensation - Bit of a strange name for the effect, but rather nice card overall.
Crushing Grief - Perfection if a bit on the cheap side for casting cost =), also feels like it should be rare.
Grasp of Madness - ... everything my red card should have been and more, perfect red aura.
Hermit's Meditation - Simple and straightforward, very good.
Wrack with Shame - Good twist on the old Humility enchantment, modernized and personalized, approved.
Engineered Blight - Interesting version of creature hate, can really mess with a cloning deck or those... white bird decks, I already forgot the name of that bird... beacon eagle? something like that, would end that.
Berserker's Rage - Rather different then what one would expect from a card of it's name, but it fits the colors, so very well done.
Chivalry - Sweet and simple and reminiscent of some older cards, fully love it.
Spark of Creativity - Very... creative
Myopic Ambitions - Seems a bit strangely worded, but I do love the overall effect of it.
Eternal Defiance - Yes, just yes, perfect with the new keyword ability that came with Conspiracy, what was it again, oh right, Dethrone, good mirror ability for that =)
Wild Child - Fun if slow card, I love it!
Celestial Unity - All for one kind of card, not bad, little on the cheap side, but I understand given the restrictions of the round.
Nihilism - A bit... strangely worded, but I get the effect... I just feel it could have been better done, like maybe, pick a number, enchanted creature gains +X/-X, where X is equal to the selected number?... eh *shrug* I like the idea behind it at least.
Arrogance - Perfect flavor for the round I think.
Fighting Spirit - Seems a bit like a cheap immortality free card, but the restriction of Combat phase keeps it much more balanced.
Tactical Acumen - Instant Detain, can't complain =D
Frenzied Bloodlust - Wow.. unless put on a creature with a lot of Toughness, I can see it not lasting past the first time it gets a hit in when enchanted, due to the combination of damage from whatever blocked it and whatever you have it fight.
Beastly Wisdom - Perfect for a set with a lot of auxiliary power boosts or +1/+1 counters.
Fiery Recklessness - Very fitting for red, turn it into a balled lightning pretty much.
Honorable Humility - Very very fitting for white, just put it on a specialist and you are set =)
Intimidating Presence - ... that is just mean xD, Humility for everyone... but you
The Companions: Critiquing all at once due to their similarity. While I absolutely love your cycle here, it seems to have missed a bit of the point of the challenge, companions seem like they would be a rather tangible thing, but maybe it's just me.

Moss_Elemental: I don't see how Tranquil Mind doesn't fit, after all, Tranquility was the card I was referencing with the name pretty much.

Zoomba - Not sure how well it fits in blue, but god do I love your two cards! Could make for some very fun gameplay... though it might have worked a bit better if the second card was black, since both it and blue like filling their graveyards, Blue self milling and black sacing and quick sending to graveyard, but that is a nitpick I realize since Green does some of that too =)
Vertain - It's a bit wordy, but I do like it overall, kind of leaves you highly vulnerable in most cases though- ooh, right, Instant... so you either can cast it at the end of their turn, or after combat on your turn... which actually probably is better, making this an instant largely negates it's downside.

Flintlock - Wow it does a lot, somehow both takes the mystery away from the game while also adding some suspense
SelesnyaNewLife - Love how it has a variable entry level of Loyalty counters, but I know there are a lot of people that could figure out how to break that quickly so it can ult on the same turn it comes out, possibly multiple times... of course if you are drawing that much, you probably don't need the help
GG Crono - I love the concept of a Planeswalker who is a toolbox but doesn't have an effect that forces it to be dealt with immediately, very well done =)
Raikou Rider - I like each of the effects that Emille has... I just... can't feel them meshing for some reason... I do love how its a toolbox for dealing with creatures and planeswalkers

I know flavor text isn't part of this, so I'll post my thoughts on that seperatly
"What will be, will be, one can not change ones fate for free."
GameWorldLeader - Oooh, an Unleash with Firststrike, fits the flavor of the round and seems to be a must have card, even if it can be burned easy, first strike is nice.
Covert Corsair - Very nice... little weird that they are faeries that can't fly, but that is minor I suppose... biggest issue though is that the name is taken.
Prophylaxis - N/A
The1AndOnlyAGar - It's okay, little expensive for its drawback and to many Or's I think.
Koopa - Pretty Standard for a black card with good P/T with a drawback for a little cheap, fair enough.
Dragoon - Yikes, now that is a Nasty card, without graveyard hate or enchant removal, a very hard thing to counter... definitely nightmare fuel.
Moss_Elemantal: Fair, though I am curious about what the errors were specifically... unless that is what you covered in the rest of the critique and I'm a fool for being mistaken.
Willows: I... don't understand the issue... how is it weird that you have a black drawback on a card that costs black? Isn't that usually how it works?
Zoomba: o_o... I... completely missed that somehow... I did at one time have a Must Attack Each Turn if Able clause on it before... but I guess I cut it out for the card already being to wordy...
