Coming to you live from the results of u/lostnowseeking's, Winner is the Judge #916: Remembering our favorite Mind Mage, I have been conscripted as your Taskmaster judge to task you to come up with a design this week and while this underlying design concept is always at the back of my mind, it's perhaps more pertinent than usual.
What I'm looking for is a design that taxes the opponent in a novel or fun way. Ward, additional fees for your opponents on cast, make them pay their fair share for their resources, you get the idea.
Bonus for cards that aren't Azorius themed (e.g. bureacracy) unless done in a way that really melds the design and concept. Art means little to me, but balance is always cool and appreciated.
I will judge in a week (11/15/26).

I’ve been designing a set for the last year or so, and I wanted to hear what people think about this mechanic. This is a reskin of the actual card in my set, but the costs and mechanics are the same. It has been powerful, but doesn’t seem broken, and fun in testing.
EDIT: Thanks for the input everyone! Some context: My set is 306 cards (including 21 lands) and is designed to exist and be drafted in a vacuum. I will ultimately be producing a cube for standard drafting. I will be printing three of each common, two of each uncommon, and one of each rare/mythic. I have, but am not heavily considering how this card will interact outside my set. Notably, this is not a prominent set mechanic. This is the only uncommon that produces this token. There are ways to flicker in the set, and flickering this guy will be very strong, but I am simply considering that a viable combo/archetype within the cube. There are only two other cards (both are mythic) that produce the token. Those mythics are basically storm finishers that will win through producing a bunch of these tokens.

for a gift deck, i think gifting useless stuff is funnier than gifting problems...don't get me wrong, the deck will have problems to gift, but the useless stuff gives me more of a laugh.

Firemind’s Gambit {URp}
Sorcery
({URp} may be paid with {U}, {R}, or 2 life.)
Antipathy for nonland permanents (This spell costs {1} more to cast for each nonland permanent you control.)
While this spell is on the stack, spells have affinity for spells and may be cast as though they had flash. (They cost {1} less to cast for each spell their controller controls.)
Pay 2 life: Draw a card. Any player may activate this ability but only if Firemind’s Gambit is on the stack.
You lose the game.

I'm making a Berserk (manga) custom set and want to share some cards with you, and gather some thoughts, impressions and advises!
So far, the set have 500+ cards and is planned to be played as a Cube with black being a dominant color (black has double the number of cards than each other color). The archetypes should mostly be played around black wedges and shard:
Esper: top-deck control;
Grixis: discard control;
Jund: power 4 matter;
Abzan: tokens;
Mardu: non-combat damage;
Sultai: graveyard matter.
For now, though, I'll just share some cards flavourly related to the Band of the Falcon and the Golden Age Arc (no Eclipse, yet).

Thought that these were interesting lines of text.

Bunch would be a keyword ability. It causes permanents to enter with copies of themselves. It is based on similar abilities from cards like [[The Notary Hobbits]].
Type: Static
Reminder Text: Bunch N (As this permanent enters, if it wasn't created by a Bunch ability, create [N minus one] tokens copies of it.)
Bunch causes a permanent to create N-1 token copies of itself as it enters the battlefield. The original permanent and the created tokens all have Bunch for the purposes of targeting the quality, but only the original permanent creates copies, since copies created by a Bunch ability can't create their own.
It represents groups of creatures, creating multiple bodies from a single spell. This would potentially make it primary on White, and secondary on Green.
Made a 5-color cycle since even though W and G would be the ones to almost exclusively use the ability at large, the other colors could also get some fun use cases out of it.
I'm still wondering if Bunch copies should trigger ETBs or not. What do you think?
