Judgement:

Gideon Jura — Malakian Zealot
Ash Zealot is already one of the best red creatures ever printed and this guy puts it to shame. This design does not feel cohesive and I dislike that it makes every attempt to patch its own drawbacks. Cards are allowed to have tension, and in my opinion they are usually better off for it.

PanchoPonceN — Volcano Wanderer
Decently efficient even without the "Lightning Bolts are free" clause. Coloured mana cost reduction leaves a bitter taste in my mouth - the potential for abuse is staggering and it generally just comes across as clunky.

Cards5000 — Disciple of Korad
I have no idea what is Theros about this, and I'm willing to bet that you don't either. Conditional mana ramping on turn four+ is not too exciting and certainly occupies the lower end of the power level spectrum. I feel as though invitational cards need to be a little more pushed.

arbitraryarmor — Timeline Burner
I understand the flavour, but I dislike that it relies almost entirely on your opponents graveyard to function. This gimmick worked in Dimir since Dimir are all about milling, but this is very clearly made to be Izzet and it just doesn't jive. None of the numbers line up pleasingly, and while your attempt at hilarious Rakdos flavour text is appreciated, I doubt your jokes would please the Lord of Riots.

Eventide Sojourner — Raucous Arbiter
This reminds me a little of Ruric-Thar in that it punishes spells while forcing combat, but I feel as though the Double Ogre is in general just a better design. The Arbiter is pushed based on its stats alone, and that it shuts down spot removal completely is a little over the top. It also forces your opponent to attack into it, probably killing a guy and clearing the way for a counteroffensive.

Winterspring — Denial Twist
This is a bad design and I think deep down you know it.

TacticalCelebrant — Rotmulcher Shaman
Deathtouch and trample are a potent combination, but this guy is so small that he will never be gang blocked anyway, and the resulting fatality will always at least break even and almost never be in your favour. The death trigger is much more exciting, but seems underpowered considering the things Lotleth Troll and Varolz are capable.

MDenham — Uncanny Rancher
Glad you powered this down. Cheap always active Nut Collector with a bonus does not need to happen. 2/2 tokens with trample seem like clunky design, and 2/2 oxen seem like bad flavour. The numbers on this thing do not align nicely. 5 for a 3/3 that makes 2/2s that make 3 life. Yuck.

AsianInvasion — Oracle of Dreams
This is cute, but I can't help but feel this is just a fragile Moonring Mirror. The triggered ability is surely powerful and gives it some resilience to surprise deaths, which will be appreciated if it ever lasts long enough to be activated. Pulling things from the bottom is a nice twist.

avatarz — Parallaxing Engine
Cute card. This will generally double your creature's combat stats, which is reasonable. I think the activation cost might be a tad steep but this is an unashamedly Timmy card and Timmy doesn't care. On a more competitive note, turning your late game dorks into something actually worth casting sounds like a good idea to me (and at instant speed to boot!). It would have been refreshing to have an invitational card that wasn't aimed squarely at Spikes, but I suppose they were the guys who made them.

k-rad — Master of Puppets
Cute. Forcing through a 1/1 seems like a bit of a challenge - Finkel this is not - but the potential for silly token shenanigans is delicious. It takes some effort to make this better than a bonded Tandem Lookout, which is fine since the upside is potentially far higher.

MOON-E — Burst of Inspiration
Powerful niche card is both of those things. The effect itself seems balanced, and the colours are perfect. Being an instant probably pushes this over the edge but it's a solid design regardless. It's worth noting that Drastic Revelation does mostly the same thing. We did your IIW approx. two seconds ago, by the way.

Emocakes — Dogmatic Champion
Decent, I guess. First strike is not needed here since any damage will just be prevented anyway, and you just know some scrub is going to misread it as preventing damage from fights, too. This does not excite me.

Winner & Next:

Winner: avatarz

HM: YOLOGOKU420, MOON-E

Next: Liliana loses the veil

I meant to reply to this sooner.

Tormentor Exarch.

From Theros:

Coronis, the Raven
Planeswalker - Coronis {M}
[+1]: Put a 1/1 black Bird creature token with flying onto the battlefield.
[-1]: Until your next turn, if a permanent you control would be destroyed, regenerate it and you lose 1 life.
[-6]: You get an emblem with "Whenever a Bird creature you control deals combat damage to a player, that player loses 1 life, discards a card, then sacrifices a permanent."
{3}

IIW: A top-down common.

The synergy with Strip Bare makes me all hot and bothered.

[MirrorEntity]

Peeping Tom
Creature - Human Rogue (U)
At the beginning of each end step, target player reveals his or her hand.
0/1

IIW: YOLO

[Gideon_Jura]

Withering Aura
Enchantment - Aura [U]
Enchant creature
Whenever a creature blocks or is blocked by the enchanted creature, that creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn for each card in its owner's hand.
The more you know, the more painful she makes it.

IIW: Roman-themed stuff

Public Indecency
Instant [U]
Destroy all auras and equipment attached to target creature, then exile that creature.
It's all fun and games until someone takes their pants off.

[Winterspring]

Liliana of the Shadows
Planeswalker - Liliana [M]
[+X]: Lose X life.
[0]: Each other player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
[-X]: Draw X cards. Lose X life.
[2]

[MOON-E]

Terrible Honeymoon
Sorcery (C)
Target creature fights the creature it's paired with.
"Till death do us part" was starting to look better and better.

Black gets fighting here because this works on soulbond and black hates teamwork because that's how Avacyn Restored works.

IIW: Epic Rap Battles of History

[LnGrrrR]

Liliana, the Forsaken
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard (M)
When Liliana, the Forsaken enters the battlefield, each player discards a card, then sacrifices a creature.
When Liliana, the Forsaken dies, return another creature card from any player's graveyard to the battlefield under your control.
Separated from the Veil and her spark, Liliana searched for a way to regain both.
4/4

Iiwsig

(If its not obvious, goin by the "losing her veil made her lose her spark" idea)
