Any number of cards?

[Juancu]

Yeah, it's like a win condition for these hacker (milling) cards. Except you don't actually win by decking them, they would shuffle those cards back before losing. But that allows you to draw any number of cards, which should be quite the advantage.

IIW: "Draft a card from this card's spellbook"

Within seconds of seeing this entry I had typed out the following:

Ninja Guy [cost]
Creature - ninja
ninjutusu [cost]
When ETB, if you ninja'd it in, draft a card from ~'s spellbook and exile it. ~ becomes a copy of that card.
P/T

But going back to your card, I do think this could use a little bit of streamlining. The equipment clause is neat, as is the spellbook idea, but it feels like a lot when put together.

I was expecting slightly more of a mirror of the leaked Kyodai, but instead I got a different kind of reference.

Looking at it by itself, I will say that this doesn't feel especially WU to me. I'm feeling more B.

IIW: Samurai

More ninja. Excellent. Draft-matters mechanics. Most Excellent. Here is a guy who pays attention & is not above playing to the judge. Anyway, I like the card a lot. It probably is severely undercosted (the potential ETB effects alone!), but yeah, direct hit as far as personal enjoyment goes.

Vermins' Feast BBB
Sorcery (R)
Sweep — Return any number of Rats you control to their owners' hands. Creatures get -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of Rats returned this way.

IIW: Multicolored Nezumi

Man, Sweep. That certainly was a mechanic. Returning something other than lands is at least an iteration of this mechanic that doesn't make me feel physically ill. Harmonious to return creatures for a sweeper spell (pun acknowledged, btw). Rats like to populate the battlefield, and a card that can kill everything else while allowing a reset is likely very strong. Outside of The Rat Deck, though, it's completely blank. Commander deck material.

IIW: Old Tarkir

Toshi's kanji magic was fun, to my recollection, and here we have a bit of an expansion. If I open my brain a bit and think "enchantments = kanji magic," I like this a lot, especially the final ability's implication of blood for ink (which, again straining my memory, was either a requirement or otherwise used extensively for Toshiro's magic). Clever.

Cycles, cycles.
Overall, not bad. Somebody else recently had an issue with cycles as entries; I'll submit mine: In this context, you lose a bit of the magic when you present all of them at once. It would be different in a full set, where it's less likely you see them all at the same time. For here, pick the best one and let it shine. My favorite here is Uyo's Descendant, which you did more with than just weaken and/or tune down numbers from the original.

Tear in the Veil 4RWB
Enchantment - Arcane

Spirits have soulshift X, where X is one less than their mana cost.
Spirits have cascade X, where X is one less than their mana cost.

What have you done, Konda!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? - Sensei Hisoka

IIW: Ridiculous goblin contraptions.

We go back to the very beginning here, referencing that moment when Konda actually crosses over into the spirit world... leaving this tear. This is kind-of sort-of referenced in Part the Veil, though I'll admit this as separate. Anyway, this is a big wacky enchantment that would be a ton of fun to have around, especially since it's symmetrical. One point of clarity, cascade X is different from cascade? So I cast a Kami of the Painted Road with this in play and I cascade looking for cards that cost three or less?

Budoka Hacker 3G
Creature - Human Monk Hacker
Taijutsu - Whenever Budoka Hacker fights, gain 2 life.
Whenever Budoka Hacker attacks, it fights the machine (it deals damage to an opponent's library in the form of exiling that many cards into their mainframe pile. That player may shuffle that pile into their library anytime, then you draw any number of cards.)
3/3

I'll admit to being a bit confused by this. It seems a little pointless. Though, given the flavor of "fighting the machine," that may be the point.

Yamikage, Night's Shadow

Legendary Creature - Dragon Spirit (M)
Flying, menace
When Yamikage, Night's Shadow dies, choose one-
-You draw four cards and lose 5 life.
-Return target creature card in your graveyard with mana value 6 or less to the battlefield.
6/6

IIW: Cleave

Another of the new dragon cycle for NEO. I like the callback to soulshift here. The body and size of the death effects seems appropriate for the cost.

Ride the Snake 2g
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant land
Enchanted land is an artifact land vehicle with base power and toughness 5/5, haste and spiritcrew 1.

Iiw: Mirrodin Electrodance Party

Spiritcrew seems very limited, but I think this is a cute package. I'm maybe missing the reference here, though I think of Snake Way (I don't think this is it).

Augmented Serow 4GG
Creature - Beast Hacker
When Augmented Serow enters the battlefield, decode or draw a card. (To decode, exile three nonland cards from your graveyard, with one of their mana costs equal to the sum of the two others. An opponent chooses two, and puts an access counter on each. An access counter enables a card to be cast.)
4/4

IIW: a high score in scrabble

I think Decode has a little too much complexity to be a keyword action. I do like it though, Getting past that, I don't think this effect is green.

Winner: void_nothing
Next: Old Tarkir

[chetoos]

The idea for my card was based on the Kamen Rider franchise, hence the godzilla treatment at the top. Kamen Riders all get morphers, which give them a suit of tech, therefore, equipment powering up Yuriko.

[Pygyzy]

My inspiration is a combination of nature vs tech, turning the land into a vehicle. I chose the name because I like making cards with song lyrics (The Doors).. I tried different flavor ideas but they didn't translate well (Originally flavored as a motorcycle street gang lol), So I thought of Riding the Dilu Horse and came up with Ride the Snake.

I want to be able to judge tomorrow. So, you know, get em in
