    EDIT: Didn't see blue's card.

    Wow, that is broken as all hell in a good token deck. Decree of Justice would like to have a word with you.

    I guess I'll post the next card.

    Vhor-kal Marketplace
    Legendary Land
    ~ comes into play tapped.
    T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
    1, T: Choose one: Each player draws a card, then you discard a card; each player sacrifices a land, then destroy all creatures you control; or each player puts a creature card from their hand into play, then destroy all lands you control.
    Spare no expense, but be sure to spare yourself.

    I doubt Wizards will keyword too many more of their common abilities, as they're trying to make the game more accessible to the larger populace. Too many keywords means people look at the game and think of it as overly complicated, the same way I look at Legend of the Five Rings.

    5WB
    Vedic, The Exiled One
    Legendary Creature-Human Rogue
    Double-Strike
    When ~ comes into play sacrifice any number of creatures you control, ~ gets X +1/+1 counters where X is the number of creatures sacrificed
    Whenever ~ becomes the target of any spells or abilities, sacrifice it and put all previously sacrifced creatures back into play under you control
    4/5


    Oh, this is a rules nightmare waiting to happen. Let's reword it...

    Vedic, The Exiled One 5WB
    Legendary Creature - Human Rogue
    Double-Strike
    When ~ comes into play, you may remove any number of creatures you control from the game. If you do, ~ comes into play with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is equal to the number of creatures removed this way.
    Whenever ~ becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it and return to play all creatures removed from the game by ~.
    4/5

    Hmm, he seems a bit overcosted. I'd shave off a colorless and make him a 4/4. Double-strike is a potent ability, and with BW tokens, he could kill pretty damn fast.

    Shrapnel Shotgun 4
    Artifact
    T, Sacrifice an artifact: ~ deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's converted mana cost to target creature or player.
    Remove an artifact in your graveyard from the game: Untap ~.
    BOOM! Chik-chuk. BOOM!

    Trilliant Mox 1
    Sacrifice ~: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
    Basic Landcycling - Discard a land card
    At the beginning of your upkeep, you may skip your draw step. If you do, return ~ from your graveyard to your hand.

    4WWUU
    Cristoff, God's Left Hand
    Legendary Creature-Human Monk
    Flash,Shroud
    When ~ comes into play prevent all combat damage dealt to target creature you control
    If you control 3 or more white permanents then ~ gains Vigilance until end of turn
    If you control 3 or more blue permanents then counter next spell played by target player
    4/4


    Wait...so it will always counter a spell as long as you control three blue permanents? You have no diminishing return built into the card. Maybe something like...

    Cristoff, God's Left Hand 4WWUU
    Legendary Creature - Human Monk
    Flash, Shroud
    When ~ comes into play prevent all combat damage dealt to target creature you control.
    If you control 3 or more white permanents, ~ gains Vigilance.
    If you control 3 or more blue permanents, you may counter target spell cast by an opponent. If you do, sacrifice a blue permanent.
    4/4

    As this, it's a pretty solid control card, especially in a U/W deck with heavy hybrids.

    My turn...

    Fatebreak UUUUU
    Sorcery
    Reveal a card at random from your deck. If that card has a converted mana cost less than or equal to 5, counter ~. Otherwise, skip your next X turns and target opponent draws X cards, where X is equal to the revealed card's converted mana cost.
    At the beginning of your next turn, you win the game.

    It's insulting to the current player base to dumb the game down for new players. WotC is driving away the group that helped Magic succeed.

    Soulshutter UBG
    Enchant Player
    When ~ comes into play, choose a nonland card type.
    Enchanted player cannot play a card of the chosen type if a card with the same name is in a player's graveyard. (For example, if artifact was chosen, enchanted player cannot play Loxodon Warhammer if there is another Loxodon Warhammer in any player's graveyard.)[/

    My reviews for everyone, albeit a bit late.

    Seratonin - I think this card is a little limited, unless your plane has a lot to do with multicolored creatures and lots of basic land. Could be useful if given the right environment.

    Gerrard's Mom - A blue would-be pacifism? I like it.

    Nonconformist - Is library destruction really a green theme? It's good for thinning your deck, but is the cost worth it? The name seems off, as well.

    youkai_blood - Seems pretty green to me. I'd say it should cost G to turn it into a creature, though.

    Dranith - Interesting. I can see the blue, the black, and the white all mixed together quite well. I like this one. Very well done.

    WhisperedThunder - Seems a bit too powerful for a common. The name is a loose fit, and the hybrid cost feels like a copout. Probably should be a solid 1UB to retain common status. I like the idea though.

    FuriouslySleepingIdea - Zodiac in an interesting idea, but it seems like it would cause a lot of timing issues. The card is solid, and the name fits.

    Person3412 - No card.

    Top 3:
    Gerrard's Mom
    Dranith
    FuriouslySleepingIdea

    NOTE: These were for round 1, not round 2.
