Today's Challenge:
Whenever an opponent gains life

Such an odd thing to judge, since nobody actually designed a card...

Retconjuror Supreme URG
Creature - Elder Human Wizard (MR)
Flash
When Retconjuror Supreme enters the battlefield, choose a nonland card you own from outside the game with the same mana value as target spell and exile it. Exchange that spell with the exiled card. (The exiled card is put onto the stack as a spell and its controller chooses targets and/or modes for it. The spell is not cast.)
"I think you'll find you remember things differently..."
2/2

Phew, I spent literal hours thinking about and re-writing that to get it both precise and concise, and still couldn't bring myself to not include explanatory reminder text.

Silverquill Duskmancer 2WB
Creature - Human Wizard (R)
Whenever a creature leaves or enters the battlefield, up to one target creature gets -1/-1.
Whenever another creature you control dies, you may pay WB. If you do, return it to the battlefield.
Silverquill students prefer to term themselves duskmancers rather than necromancers, as the people they bring back are have never actually been completely dead.

I forgot to add "gets -1/-1 until end of turn" to my submission but judging by the votes I'm getting I assume the intent was understood so... phew I guess (still an eyesore ugh).
