While I'd otherwise probably never would try to tackle them the challenge tempted me trying a rather wild type combination 
Time to re-use Pan-Gu  I'd love to give him the color indicator dot, but sadly that messes with the typeline too much. |

Too easy.
Aaliyah's Blessing   Tribal Instant--Angel Incarnation  Cast this spell only if your life total is less than your starting life total.
Your life total becomes equal to your starting life total. If you gained life this way, create Aaliyah, a legendary X/X white Angel Incarnation creature token with flying, first strike, vigilance, lifelink, trample, and shroud, where X is the amount of life gained this way.
Miracle  (You may cast this card for its miracle cost when you draw it if it’s the first card you drew this turn.)

Scrap Assembler  Artifact Creature - Golem  Whenever you cast a creature or artifact spell from your hand, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. 1/1 This is boring, but I’m also out and about (safely and necessarily during these weird times). Might spice it up and do some sort of wacky “instant enchantment” or something later.

This is a concept I explored a bit in an old set I never quite got around to finishing.
According to the Comprehensive Rules as they are, this spell technically doesn't work, but with the rules text listed on the card it should be fine. The rule in question is 608.2k. In my hypothetical set, there would be a sub clause added to that rule which specifies that Instants/Sorceries which are also Permanents will follow the rules for Instants/Sorceries and then follow the rules for Permanents.

Here's an intant using a modified version of ninjutsu. It's not as strict as ninjutsu, since it allows you to return any attacking creature you control to your hand, but then it doesn't have a way to cast it without "ninjutsu'ing" it.

 Here's mine. The creature gains the powers of a shade, but if they abuse it they'll pay the price. |

{Old Entry} Hinterland Scourge   Creature - Giant Creatures with power less than ~'s power can't block it. When ~ deals combat damage to a player, it fights up to one target creature that player controls. 5/4 // Hunt the Beast Sorcery - Adventure Target creature you control fights target creature you don't control. Seems a bit wordy, but I don't have a template to test it out. Does anyone have one handy?  |

*Snip* Using preexisting art is fine, but you were missing artist credit. ~Daij_Djan
Sorry for using art from a real card, finding art of kor is hard. Also, I have no idea why the set symbol didn't show up, it's uncommon. |

Arsenal Thresher says "Hi! Your card doesn't seem to be strong enough for . It barely qualifies for ." Arsenal Thresher is quite a bit harsher and blunter than I would be, but it does seem to have a point.

I always liked the cycle of items of the gods in the original Theros, and (though I understand why now) I was disappointed that it didn't extend to the other ten gods, so here's my attempt to rectify that:  |

thaneofglamis I really like Aspirant Mountaineer, except that it fetches Plains, not Mountains! 
Daij_Djan Pan-gu is hard for me to evaluate really. It's a land that has the downside of being much easier to kill, but you can get a 3/3 out of it after four or five turns? I don't know of a deck I'd put it in, but maybe that deck just doesn't exist yet.
sade612 Nice and clean design. Combos well together.
Aarhg It took me a second to understand how well this card works with the ninja theme. Very nice!
Fermat This seems like a fun land to play. I like how it works!
Orion Rings I like the idea here, I do have one problem though. If the idea is for the enchantment to have a downside if it's abused, then I think it should give the creature the ability. My first thought with this was to cast the enchantment on an opponent's creature, which turns it into a kill spell. Is this something you had in mind? If so, then you can disregard me.
gamma3 I like the concept, but I do have a flavor issue with it. From my understanding, the gods' artifacts were intended to have synergistic interactions with the gods' effects. Kruphix let you have any amount of cards in hand/mana in pool, and this doesn't really do much with that I don't think. That's the only thing I dislike about it. |

Production Facility Artifact Land  : Add  . , : Add one mana of any color. Spend mana only produced by artifacts to activate this ability. Nothing special, just thought if wizards ever revisited artifact lands they would probably start with a strictly worse versions of nonbasics. |

Yes, I had planned for this card to be a removal spell in a pinch. You make a good point for the creature having the ability, but it would mess up this functionality. Also, Aspirant Mountaineer is a super cool card design... But it's missing power and toughness  |
