Killian, Head of Espionage   Legendary Creature - Human Rogue  Whenever a creature you control with power or toughness 1 or less deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card.
: Target creature can't be blocked this turn. 2/1

Took me a good long while even to decide what color this was going to be, but I like what I did with it. It's like K'rrik but with self-mill and an activated ability that Syr Konrad will surely appreciate.
Just to head this off at the pass--I checked Zahid, and you'll still pay the commander tax even on alternate casting costs. It doesn't really matter, because if you're playing this as your commander you only have access to black mana anyway, but strictly speaking the mana cost becomes totally generic at that point.
EDIT: Now that I look at it, I'm surprised WOTC has never printed a card with "As an additional cost to cast this spell, put SOME NUMBER of cards from the top of your library into your graveyard." Unexplored territory. How interesting.

I'm not entirely happy with the design of my card, may resubmit if I can before it's over.

When in doubt, make a common Green legendary creature. Tiral, Chorus of the World -  Legendary Creature - Elf Druid  Whenever you play a land card, add . Creature spells you cast cost less for each land card that entered the battlefield under your control this turn. 2/3 |

Rat, Ravnican Sneak Legendary Creature - Human Hexproof Rat, Ravnican Sneak can't be blocked unless the defending player pays  for each creature blocking Rat, Ravnican Sneak. Whenever Rat, Ravnican Sneak deals combat damage to a player, that player reveals a card at random from their hand. 1/2 I think (?) that's worded correctly. Yes, Rat is blue despite wanting to be in Selesnya/Rakdos/Gruul; mind reading and diverting attention are very blue abilities. Payment for blocking is sometimes (?) blue (the "rhystic" ability) and represents having to concentrate on her to see her. gateways7 : I deliberately left out "if you do." I wanted you to be able to draw a card with an empty hand, as  has a big problem with card advantage. |

Updated my entry. I would like to note a couple of things, however:
1. Level by cast is an entirely different mechanic than Level Up, Commander-specific.
2. I didn't see a precedent for it, but my assumption is that if the power and toughness is not updated for the level then it's clear that it would remain the same.

Let’s close this one up. Judging to come.
viriss and Jedidiah, Village Leader Interesting tribal Commander. I like how your extra two mana every time you cast it means something extra. sdfkjgh and Breeches, Belligerent Deckhand VIOLENCE indeed. Monocolored partners are a good idea, and this is simple in a good way Tesagk and Jon Aron, Paragon I'm assuming the counters stay on when it leaves the battlefield. Level up by cast seems strange to me, since the game already tracks how many times you've cast your commander (see Fury Storm), and the 4+ keeps the +3/+3. and Killian, Head of Espionage Daij_Djan and L'ya, Gigantuan Necromancer This is a neat reanimator commander that's a payoff, rather that an enabler like Sheoldred or Shirei. Getting 1 or 2 counters seems low, but the growth potential is really neat. and Rezy, Brightest Recyclaster Past in Flames on your commander is really dangerous, but balancing that by exiling your graveyard every turn is really cool. That card draw doesn't feel very red, and also looks abusable. How about the " impulsive draw" ability? mrlozano and Jichiro Konda of Eiganjo This is a strange one. I'm not really sold on Fogging your opponent every turn, but it could get politically interesting, since it doesn't stop all their damage, only against you, and Jichiro doesn't have any built-in evasion. and Garuda, Dire Moth of Eiganjo The main difference between Garuda and K'rrik is that K'rrik costs 4 and every spell costs you, while Garuda comes down turn 2 and every spell is free, and actually gives you an advantage. I think it's fair to say that this is totally broken, but it's really cool. and Tiral, Chorus of the World This is a really cool ramp commander. It feels a bit odd that every land sort of gives you 2 mana, but in two different ways, but it's nice that everything gets cheaper. Xenozfan2 and Rat, Ravnican Sneak The wording looks good to me. However, as a commander it seems a bit strange. Revealing one card at random is very little payoff, but a pseudo Invisible Stalker as a commander is neat, and the "pay " ability stops it from being overpowered. |

Ok, I think I got this.
Researcher Burmac  Legendary Creature--Vedalken Merfolk Mutant Partner with Rakness, the Scorn of Sieges (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Rakness into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)
Graft 1 (This creature enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may move a +1/+1 counter from this creature onto it.)
Evolve (Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, if that creature has greater power or toughness than this creature, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
Evolve
Each other creature on the battlefield and each creature card in all other zones gets -1/+2. 3/0
Please note that this has two instances of evolve.
Reference:
Rakness, the Scorn of Sieges  Legendary Creature--Giant Berserker Partner with Researcher Burmac (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Burmac into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)
Trample, haste
Other creatures you control get +2/+0.
Each creature you control can’t be blocked by creatures with higher toughness. 6/3 |

Level up by cast seems strange to me, since the game already tracks how many times you've cast your commander (see Fury Storm), and the 4+ keeps the +3/+3. I meant to update the text to: "Level up by cast (Whenever you cast Jon Aron, Paragon from the command zone, put a level counter on it for each time it has been cast.)" The idea being that even though the game keeps track of it, you wouldn't need to worry about preserving the counters and it provides an easier visual. 4+ keeps the +3/+3 because the idea of giving +4/+4 with double strike to each creature you control is obscene. But neither here nor there, clearly just not your jam. |

Elfhorn, Reincarnated Wizard Legendary Creature - Elf Kobold Wizard You cannot activate any of ~'s abilities unless you control another Wizard or a Druid creature.  : Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. , : Scry 3. , : Draw a card for each nontoken Wizard creature you control, then discard that many cards minus one. 3/2 Based off of something that actually happened to a party member in a D&D campaign. |

Its third ability is phrased that way so that even when your stuff dies you still have a net gain of 1 life from it.

An old design of mine Daro, the Fallen  Legendary Creature — Angel Demon Flying, trample, lifelink Other Angel and Demon creatures you control get +2/+2 and have lifelink. Whenever you cast an Angel or Demon spell, you may return a non-Angel, non-Demon creature from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control 7/7 |

Twigsy and Mr. Ugh - Legendary Creature - Elf Ogre Warrior Whenever a creature you control fights another creature, it gets +2/+0, first strike, and trample until end of turn. Whenever Twigsy and Mr. Ugh attacks, you may have it fight target creature defending player controls. "The ring's a dangerous place, love. It ain't our fault that your brother went and died."1/3 Don't have time to make a render, but eh. I doubt I would find good art of an ogre boxer and their elven agent anyway.

sdfkjgh : since you've made an incomplete entry that only fully exists as a piece when in conjunction with an unrelated card, I'll give an incomplete judging: I don't like this card because [REDACTED] 5/10
Tesagk : restriction unnecessary in terms of ability power level and kneecaps design quality, irritating sense of incomplete context due to outside context being given but not elaborated on enough to matter, if you'd just have either given a more detailed account or left out the bit about your dnd campaign, I'd rank this higher, but now it's barely 3/10
FLAREdirector : no angels on theros, so that docks points. cool card otherwise, 7/10
gateways7 : your outside effort has been acknowledged. as much as I like rng in my mtg I think this isn't a very good way of doing it, due to all the extra faffing about you need to do to access it. also the second ability is trinket text that'll do nothing nine times out of ten and make you feel bad doing it. 4/10
Xenozfan2 : using [basictype]walk, a mechanic that either does nothing or swings games massively unfairly in your favour in no reasonably hinderable way, in 2019? o fuck cringe. flavour implications reasonably cool though. 3/10
Daij_Djan : my thing said two, not two or more, but I'm not gonna be That Guy about it since I didn't specify race, which I intended. so that's on me. mayhem gang is real neato and I like how it blends single-creature focus and wide strats. 9/10
gluestick248 : not being able to be colorless-ramped in earlier is a neat restriction. not super into trample outside RG but that's negligible. powerful than I'm okay with (jesus god the life swings), but otherwise 7/10
Lady Mapi : weird and not really effective that a fight-tribal card doesn't make your creatures more likely to survive fighting, meaning the effectiveness of the thing you want to be doing fluctuates wildly depending on what your opponents are playing. cool lore and neat attempt at exploration tho. 7/10.
winner's Daij_Djan, Lady Mapi gets second place

I agree that they're kinda a weird pair, but I'd argue that they're more effective than you think. They slap a decent combat trick on any fight effect, so you can do interesting things to blockers (or when blocking). They also make a non-deathtouch creature more likely to kill a creature, which is also pretty useful. But eh. Looking forward to the next one. |

Nice, big thanks for the win! Lakk, Nakk & Rakk will happily throw a party 
For your next challenge.. As I don't really have any other sudden inspiration, let's go with something random. Use the Scryfall random function (click here) to get any random card, then design a commander whose deck you'd include that card into! (Obviously please note the card you received ) |
