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.

Tyrn, Frostbourne Crownsmith
Legendary Creature - Yeti Artificer
Vigilance
As long as an opponent controls a tapped permanent, Tyrn has hexproof.
Tap an untapped nonland permanent you control: Tap target permanent that shares a card type with the permanent you tapped.
5/4
Hylda needs a new friend.
Create a new card that either has the Aurochs type or supports the tribe.

Zaid, Auroch Shepard
Legendary Creature - Human Shaman
As long as Zaid is untapped, Auroch you control get +0/+2.
As long as Zaid is tapped, Auroch you control get +2/+0.
2/2
His low cost allows justification of the anthem effect. But he doesn't produce any Auroch himself.
His deck will need plenty of ways to cast, tutor, copy and make Auroch tokens.
Perhaps start with a Selesnya Legendary Auroch in the +99 as a second Commander :)

Zaid's Herd
Legendary Creature- Aurochs
Trample
Whenever ~ attacks, it gets +1+0 for each other attacking Aurochs. If it's saddled, it gets +3/+1 for each attacking Aurochs and vigilance instead.
Saddle 2
4/3
Create a monowhite Aurochs that gives other Aurochs Saddle X.

Sherpa's Auroch
Creature - Auroch Mount
Saddle 3
Whenever this creature attacks, search your library for a Snow land, reveal it and put it into your hand. If this creature was saddled, untap ~ and search for two Snow Lands. Put one onto the battlefield tapped and the other into your hand. ~ gains +X/+0 until the end of the turn, where X is the number of Snow Lands you control.
3/4
Create a Legendary Horse creature for a tribal deck!

Arion, Steed of the Warrior Queen
Legendary Creature - Horse Warrior
Whenever this creature attacks, choose another attacking creature. That creature gains +X +X where X is Arion's power. If X is more than double their base power, that creature gains flying and first strike until end of turn as well.
Persist
3/3
Can't help but make references with these. This one is a bit obscure though, not sure if anyone would recognize the name of Hippolyta's horse. Make a green and white 2mv mythic creature that is NOT based around any kind of lifegain or go wide strategy.

Enforcer Mastiffs
Creature - Dog
First strike
: Enforcer Mastiffs fights target creature you don't control. If that creature would put into its owner's graveyard this way, exile it instead.
3/3
In Sheraul City, weakness is failure, and failure cannot be tolerated.
Create a small black creature with flying.

Fledgling Vulture
Creature - Bird
Flying
Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, you may exile that card from your graveyard. If you do, put X +1/+1 counters on this creature equal to the difference between the exiled creature's power and this creature's power. This ability triggers only once per turn.
Create an Insect that is not a scavenger and does not have a token focus (looking at you Scute Swarm)
1/1

Dr. Mantis Tobagin
Creature - Mantis Warrior Druid
Haste, Ward where X equals this creature's power
Whenever this creature attacks, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature. If a creature dies this way, choose one:
-
Deal damage equal to this creature's power to target player and that player draws a card.
-
You draw cards equal to half of this creature's power, rounded down.
At the beginning of each end step, if you drew 5 or more cards this turn, deal 5 damage to any target.
6/5
"People used to say she's as beautiful as she is deadly- but after all the disappearances, people just started saying she's deadly."
That was fun! Make a Angel that is not a savior, warrior, or zealot of any kind and doesn't do typical angel stuff like life gain. And no "fallen" angels. Get creative!

Nykthos, Shrine to the Forgotten
Legendary Enchantment Land
, Choose a color: Add X mana to your mana pool, where X is your devotion to the chosen color. Spend this mana only to cast God or enchantment spells.
Sacrifice ~: Return target God or enchantment from your graveyard to the battlefield. If it is a God, it becomes a creature in addition to its other types.
"For the many forgotten, for the many lost along the way, let this be the memoriam for the pantheon, so that they are never lost in the expanse of Nyx."
