A remake of the legendary creature I made for the Sprawling Saga thread. Now it's a bomb, not a legendary, and the permanent sacrifice isn't bound to casting cost making it easier to reuse. Kitten of Misfortune  Creature - Cat  When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice a noncreature artifact. Then place X -1/-1 counters on each other creature, where X is the sacrificed permanent's converted mana cost. A single pot fell, and then the entire town fell silent. 1/1  EDIT: This version was brought to you by: sade612. Thanks for that. I tried looking up enchantment sacrifice/removal in black, and there was very little. And the few that were there, were very costly and of an older generation. So I made it sac only noncreature artifacts (which still has application, corresponds more with its flavortext, and is something that happens in black).
{Old1} Kitten of Misfortune Creature - Cat When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice a nonland, noncreature permanent you control. Then place X -1/-1 counters on each other creature, where X is the sacrificed permanent's converted mana cost. A single pot fell, and then the entire town fell silent. 1/1  |

Unite the Forces  Legendary Artifact  When Unite the Forces enters the battlefield, tap any number of creatures you control. Unite the Forces's color is equal to the color of each creature tapped by Unite for Forces. Creatures that share a color with Unite the Forces get +1/+1. --- I think this edit should work. {Render}

Following a recent trend of oddly specific 1 cmc hate removal..  Overthrow  Instant Exile target creature with power greater than the number of lands its controller controls. The main issue with seizing power is that it inspires others to do the same.Jartis: Perhaps it could untap when it exchanges control? As it is it'll wind up permatapped after not too long since it only reaches an untap step if its cost is paid. Never mind me if that's intentional though Tesagk: I'm pretty sure you can't, but even if you can I'm not sure it's in the spirit of the challenge given that it forbids other methods of messing with the mana cost. Maybe you could unkeyword it and make the whole tap-change-color thing into an enters the battlefield effect? |

An oldie but goodie:
Ryzhen, Incarnate of Potential  Legendary Creature--Avatar Incarnation
You may pay    rather than pay Ryzhen, Incarnate of Potential’s mana cost. If you do, Ryzhen, Incarnate of Potential enters the battlefield with five +1/+1 counters on it and has first strike, hexproof, lifelink, haste, and trample. 2/1 |

You can pay more than the mana cost for a spell with convoke, yes? No, you can't. If the wording alone isn't clear enough, here's the example given to Comp. Rule 702.50b:

Unite the Forces Legendary Artifact Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell.
Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays
for or one mana of that creature's color.)
Unite the Forces's color is equal to the color of each creature used to pay its mana cost. Creatures that share a color with Unite the Forces get +1/+1. --- Edit: Going to have to rethink my entry. You can fix it by having it cost |

I decided to break the color pie with some targeted discard:  Bring to Bear Sorcery Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player manifests that card. |

EDIT: Also, here's my own first take at this challenge:
Ok, this is the most inventive idea I've seen in a while. What exactly does it mean for a location to be a planeswalker? What are the ramifications of a castle or a fortress that can move through the Blind Eternities while hosting beings who can't survive there?
It reminds me of an idea I had about a place called Arbitrary Point, New Mexico. Picture a quaint little pueblo, with a library centrally-located. Inside the library is a globe, right in the center of the building. If you spin that globe, then put your finger down on it to stop the spinning, wherever that finger is, that's where the town now is.

 To answer the inevitable, this card is a rare (it's admittedly near impossible to see due to the poorly designed set symbol) |

Mask of the Mad Madrigal Legendary Enchantment - Corona At the beginning of each of your main phases, you may discard a card. If you do, choose one - • Exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn. • Mask of the Mad Madrigal becomes an enchantment creature until your next main phase. 3/4The Corona subtype is reused from 27 Shades of Divinity, based on an original concept by Reddit user duskulldoll.

 As a note, the cost for Accord is discarding a card and paying the CMC of the card in colorless mana. |

Your templating needs a lot of work. Here's how it should be written:
0-5 At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player sacrifices a permanent. 6+ At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, that player exiles a permanent they control.
Also, why are you using the tombstone icon? That was discontinued after Odyssey block, and even in that block, it only went on cards that have functionality in a graveyard. Your card has no functionality while in a graveyard, so I suggest you remove the icon.
One final note: I can't quite tell what rarity this is. Could you please clarify?

Dream Field   Enchantment At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If you do, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you control. If ~ would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead. Rough sketch, it’s broken or something I know, help me fix it shiftyhomunculus edit: yadda yadda I didn’t read up on your Corona thing because I was too hastey yadda yadda

So in general doesn't fit the contest because it's converted mana cost is 2.
Here is my entry: (not sure if it should be red or blue) Flavor-vice, it shoud be common, concidering they are everywhere...

xylophone: The Mox cycle are some of the most memetically overpowered cards in Magic history. Making a card that's often stronger than those does not strike me as a very good idea.
