Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.

Same challenge
November 25, 2018 4:17 a.m.
All right, this should prove interesting.
Results: 6 (,), Instant, Innistrad, Tribal.
Ok, guess this will be human/angel related and after the Eldrazi invasion (although I prefer vampires).
Cleanse with Blood
Tribal Instant - Angel
Destroy all Human tokens you control. They cannot be regenerated. Deal damage to target opponent equal to the number of tokens destroyed this way. Summon a 4/4 red and white Angel with Haste & Flying for each 5 damage dealt this way.

Black artifact from Alara that pushes against breaking the color pie with an alternate win condition
Etherium Refinery
Artifact
, Sacrifice two arifacts: Create a colorless artifact token named Etherium Cell with ", Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color."
Whenever you sacrifice a nontoken artifact, put a charge counter on Etherium Refinery and you lose 1 life. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Etherium Refinery has twenty or more charge counters on it, you win the game.
I'm not sure that meets the color pie pushing requirement, but I'm going with it.
Same challenge.
