Unhallowed Warlock2UBR
Creature - Demon Wizard (R)
First strike
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may sacrifice another creature. If you do, copy that spell and you may choose new targets for the copy. Otherwise, tap Unhallowed Warlock and it deals damage equal to its power to you. "All good sorcery deserves tribute."
4/4
Not big on Recall - it does next to nothing for the cost, and if it was a good card on top of your library, poof, it's gone. I'd pay 1 at most for the effect - colorless if possible. Rot Hag is pretty sweet for recursion and probably Commander. She could be beefed up just slightly.
Retrospection is great, a powerful little common that you can squeeze slightly more value from late game in a control deck. Martyr should be an uncommon, but the idea's good. Being able to choose CMC 3 is much different than CMC 2, the power level is respectable when you can recur your Traft or Brimaz or whatever.
Vault's a slightly odd choice - putting Horrors into the "Innistrad Three" of creature types. But, it works. It's pretty damn strong too, compared to Volrath's Stronghold which is already a monster. Needs toned down for power level. With the Monk - as above, not big on the shuffle-into-library thing, but it works better on a 2/3 for 3. Flavor's great on both.

Cataclysmic Lahar deals damage equal to the number of Mountains you control to each creature without flying and each player. Mountains you control don’t untap during your next untap step. The land screamed in pain, and the people ran. The land cried, and all was silent.

Her + ability is somewhat disappointing for a 5-drop walker, being able to control your opponent's board hardly at all. You're probably gonna use the -3 right off the bat, and that one's pretty damn strong - with most of the best scry effects being in her colors, you'll get a lot of chances to stack and abuse it. The ultimate is very, very ultimate, and very unique; would be inclined to put it at -10 since uh reasons. Nice work overall.
Physically, looking at the bottom card at any time is clunky, since you've gotta pull it out from under 30-50 more cards. Like Egak I'm concerned about the filtering ability at such a cheap cost here - especially since graveyard is an option, rather than exile perhaps. However it's also true that it's SO easy to over-invest in stacking your deck this way. There's significantly more subtlety to playing it than expected.
By contrast to Vertain's entry, this one seems a bit overcosted. It reminds me of Soothsaying but could cost just 2 for the abilities. The thing I prefer here is that it's not an all-in-one filtering card, since you're going to have to get something off of the bottom of your library by other means, eventually.
Etherwrought Gorgon1UB
Artifact Creature - Gorgon Artificer (M)
Trample
If Etherwrought Gorgon would deal damage to a creature, prevent that damage and put a charge counter on that creature. It loses all abilities and is a noncreature artifact with "T: Add 1 to your mana pool" for as long as there's a charge counter on it.

When Warpclaw Shaman enters the battlefield, each player shuffles a permanent he or she controls into its owner’s library, then reveals the top card of his or her library. If it’s a permanent card, that player puts it onto the battlefield.

You could keep it as a fairly clean triggered ability if worded like: "Whenever an opponent casts a spell or activates an ability, (...)"
Interesting... he hates on blue the least, since choosing new targets for counterspells isn't the most likely thing. He's actually pretty likely to make red removal turn into bad times! I think he's a bit pushed but reasonable enough to be fair. Red disruption/control is a cool thing.

Favorite card ever is Repercussion because it's just such an interesting red effect that we don't see that much anymore (shh nobody saw the satyr rare from BTG). One of my favorite decks I ever built was mono red creatureless burn for the casual field at my college. Had a moment in a multiplayer game where I used that, two Quest for Pure Flame and a Chain Reaction to deal 160 damage to each player for each creature they controlled. Fond memories.
