Mindstorm gur
Sorcery
This spell can't be countered.
Whenever you cast or copy another spell while ~ is on the stack, put a storm counter on ~.
Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of storm counters on ~. You may reveal up to one card of each type from among them. Put those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. (If a card has multiple types, choose one as you reveal it.)

Cosmographic Crescendo 3RG
Enchantment (M)
Whenever a player casts a spell, put a growth counter on each spell you control. (Including that spell.)
If a spell you control would be countered while it has four or more growth counters on it, remove four growth counters from that spell instead.
Whenever a spell you control resolves, add X R and create an X/X green Elemental creature token, where X is the number of growth counters on that spell.

Abstract Construct 6
Artifact Creature - Imaginary Buddy
This creature gets plus infinity plus two power and minus infinity toughness for the first make-believe counter on a card in exile, and +2/+2 for each make-believe counter after the first.
Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell with a number or number word in it's text, put a make-believe counter on that spell and exile it. These counters remain between zone changes. If there's another card with a make-believe counter on it in exile, it's owner plays that spell, and adds X to all number or number words in it's text, where X is equal to the number of make-believe counters on that spell. Move all make-believe counters on that spell to another card in exile with a make-believe counter.

Gonna use a loose interpretation of spellshaper.

Shaping Spell 3
Artifact (R)
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may discard a creature card. When you do, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Bah was meant to edit mine a little, but mtgNexus was playing up. I don't expect it to win because those are some of the best entries I've seen, but if it somehow does just roll with the urban fantasy/horror thing Pygyzy put up as that sounds like an interesting take on magic cards.

Pygyzy - I am confident, that substracting infinity - or adding negative infinity - from infinity results still in infinity. There is this "infinite guests and hotel rooms" example of how it works. So your creature is infinite/infinite after the first spell exiled with make-believe counter.
Savant of Will
Creature - Human Spellshaper (R)
, discard a card: Exile Savant of Will and lose 1 life unless you pay , then counter target spell.
1/1

@Mimicvat I'll make a few and they won't be silver-bordered. It's one of my favorite genres. I think it has a lot of untapped potential and would be distinct enough from Innistrad. Also you could get away with making "superheroes". I'm thinking like Detective Noir vibe with a character that's some sorta Sherlock/Batman type.
