4/1
Ephemeral Strength
It's decent. Maybe I'm just not a fan of the Vanishing thing. Or maybe it feels off because it's green with vanishing (I know there are 2 green vanishing cards, but vanishing is mostly done with blue... for obvious reasons). Green is better off with things like Blessings of Nature, Increasing Savagery, Incremental Growth, etc.
Undermined Intent
Fine card. The flavor text about "counter-intelligence" seems like it should go with a card that lets you look at their hand or library... but who cares about flavor text really. Nice card.
Guildpact Denier
After thinking about this one for a while, I decided I really liked it. Very reminicent of Disruptive Student, but with a twist. More effective against multicolor, not effective at all against colorless. I like it. Two thumbs up.
Bloodthirsty Parasite
Hmm... this ones tougher to judge. I'm thinking that maybe it shouldn't avoid targeting, i.e., it should say, "As you cast Bloodthirsty Parasite, choose target creature..."
It's basically 3 for a 3/1 flying - that's reasonable. It could synergize well with some kind of counter sucking thing, like Grim Poppet or something.
I think I like it.
Manadrowse Shawm
I really like it... except I think its CMC is way too low. This could shut down way too much, way too easy. It has to be at least 5 or more... probably... no... definitely more. Then it would be more balanced, and it could even be used to shut down 4 and 5 color creatures (not that that's hardly ever an issue).
Thanks for saying what a shawm was. I really do like it... just wish it was more balanced cost-wise.
Engulfing Gaze
It's interesting. Not super good. In application, it's either a 1UU to counter a monocolored spell (assuming your not running colorless mana in your deck). Or it's 1UUU to counter a bicolored spell. Or it's xyUUU to counter a nonquad, nonquint colored spell with a cantrip. I'd rather just go with a common Cancel.
Medicine Man1W Creature - Human Cleric WW,t: Prevent the next 5 damage that would be dealt this turn to any number of target creatures and/or players, divided as you choose.
1/1
Xmpdz - this is pretty terrible. Huge lists of keywords are almost never interesting outside of cards with "Akroma" in their name, and even then, they keywords have to make sense. Flash? Nonbasic landwalk? Intimidate? Undying? And why does it need to get +0/+X when it blocks if it's indestructible? Being 1/1 doesn't balance out the horrible-ness of this card - the text wouldn't even fit on a card, let alone ever see print. It seems as though you were just futzing around instead of trying to actually design a card. 1/10.
Hey. Sue me for trying to have a little fun. The criteria, was to have a cmc of 13. So I thought, 'What might make a 1/1 worth 13?'
And the +0/+X is for trample absorbtion, duh.
Of course it would have to be first strike and trample in order to deal any damage, but whatever.
Yes, it's overboard with keywords... to the point of an uncard even, but it's definitely better than One With Nothing or even Merfolk of the Pearl Trident. Just because it's implausible doesn't automatically make it a 1.
Xilos - Very good considering the challenge. I can't decide if I would have it say "...becomes a 0/0 Mutant creature in addition to its other types for as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it..." That would simply mean the thing wouldn't die if counters were removed, it would just go back to being a noncreature. Also not sure what I think about it being able to affect planeswalkers. All things considered - 7.5/10

~ can't be countered.
~ can't be sacrificed.
Anything that would reduce ~'s toughness to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.
Whenever ~ blocks a creature, it gets +0/+X until end of turn where X is that creatures power. 1: Untap target creature an opponent controls. It attacks this turn if able.
If ~ would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, return it to its owners hand.

@Stealth Wall - I like it. But because their are too many ways a creature can't be blocked - flying, shadow, protection, "can't be blocked" abilities, intimidate, fear, etc. I would make it an activated ability like:
"t: target unblocked creature becomes blocked. (This works on creatures that can't be blocked.)"
