Thanks for taking care of that Leo bravelion - it was an unusual situation for certain, but I'm glad to have new blood hosting!

Main Challenge -- Design a rare mono blue cards with vigilance or a mono black cards with "destroy target enchantment".

Subchallenge 1 -- Your card has only evergreen abilities.
I could use some clarification on what "evergreen abilities" means -- the definition that I'm aware of is the list of evergreen keyword abilities (mostly things like trample, first strike, etc. as well as enchant and equip). None of those offer an obvious way to include the words "destroy target enchantment," so I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Right - does this mean the card's only keyword abilities should be evergreen ones?

It means that if it's a creature, it can have flying, haste, etc. But not evolve. I will add it to the post, thanks for your input!

You're welcome! By now, I consider the MCC my own home, so it just came naturally to me. This is probably a precedent should anything like this happen again.

And thanks for the laugh you gave me with the stroked text! For those who might not know, Leo is the abbreviation of my real first name, and I have absolutely no problem with anybody here calling me that, that's my name! I have no problem with it being known publicly, that's who I am! People in real life call me that, why not here too? It's not like I gave away anything too personal...

If I've understood it correctly, you could also word that subchallenge as "no deciduous or set/block mechanics, just things that any card in any random set could do."

Oh please. You've given away everything. Leo is clearly short for Leonardo da Vinci. You discovered the fountain of youth centuries ago, and have lived long enough to finally experience an invention that rivals your own brilliant ideas. Magic the Gathering. It contained flying machines like the ones you imagined, and the crisp, mechanically sound gameplay resonated with you on a fundamental level. At last you have been exposed for who you truly are, a genius inventor who has cheated death.

Another laugh, thank you! Anyway, yeah, my full first name is exactly that, though the only thing we share is that and the fact that we're both Italian. Vinci, the town he came from, is actually pretty close to where I live, and I've visited it as a child.
who has cheated death.
I wish I could...
Oh please. You've given away everything.
There are a whole lot of things I haven't given away publicly... I don't think what I've given away so far would be enough for you to come here and find me physically even if you wanted... not that I would have any problems with that, I've done nothing wrong... Anyway, thanks again for the laugh and sorry for the off-topic.

The token has a new keyword that's one line of reminder text, and/or has a new card type, and/or has two faces.
Clarification question: do we get to include the predefined token in our submission? Or does it have to be clear from the reminder text that it meets one of these criteria?

The card should have a reminder text, explaining what the token is and does.

Hmm, I guess I should ask my question more directly: how is it going to be apparent that our token's new keyword has one line of reminder text if the token itself has to be in reminder text?

I think I understand the confusion.
The reminder text before the explanations of how the new keyword works can have more than one line. After the introduction of the keyword, you can have only one line.

Example (pretend that trample is a new keyword)

Badgering (Create a 1/1 green Badger creature token with trample. A creature with trample can deal excess combat damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.)

In this example, the reminder text for Badgering can have multiple lines, but the reminder text for the new keyword "trample" should have only one line.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions.
