KEYWORD is right in the challenge people. And it's a two word challenge.

[Prophylaxis]

Sanctuary is a new permanent type that has a number printed in the lower right-hand corner, similar to a planeswalker. This number determines the number of sanctuary counters this permanent enters the battlefield with. A sanctuary can be attacked by creatures just like a planeswalker and damage causes sanctuary counters to be removed.

Niythax, Eternal Phoenix
Legendary Creature - Phoenix (M)
When Niythax enters the battlefield, put two white Sanctuary tokens onto the battlefield with one sanctuary counter on each of them.

[The Most Curious Thing]

Makeshift lore for a keyword:

On the desert plane of Ahmasahra, ergs stretched as far as the eye could see and the mind could imagine, and constant flashes of lightning illuminated the landscape even during its moonless nights. The viashino, minotaurs, and dragons of Ahmasahra knew red mana well, and they knew of no other color. That is, until the wandering minotaur Thaur discovered the Crystal Colonnades: great pillars of glass risen from lightning-struck sand. The Colonnades were rich in white and blue mana, and their resplendent beauty inspired Thaur to build a city on their site -- the first city the plane of Ahmasahra had seen -- naming it Zajamaal. Untold thousands made a pilgrimage to Thaur's crystal city, and its beauty likewise inspired a reformation of their nomadic lives. The viashino became artisans, crafting armor and trinkets of glass with which to adorn themselves; the minotaurs became architects, filling the Ahmasahran landscape with sprawling, labyrinthine glass metropoleis. Even the dragons, who had once lived only for their own survival, took to roosting on any other Crystal Colonnades they happened upon, marking their territory with magnificent troves of glass treasure.

Five centuries after the construction of Zajamaal, the white and blue mana of the Crystal Colonnades had pervaded not only the entire plane but also the people living therein. The crystallization started simply: viashino were born with glass scales; minotaurs with glass horns -- but a time came when both viashino and minotaurs were born with entirely glass skeletons. Some were born with refractive bodies, becoming known as the Prismati, a people so beautiful that Ahmasahrans would praise the sunlight shining through them (the same sunlight that they would have cursed hundreds of years earlier, crossing the sweltering dune sea of their plane). And next to the Prismati were the Miraya, a people born with reflective bodies; mirror entities that were marveled for their virtuosic proficiency in magic and "mimeomagic."

Another person suffering from formatting errors. You're phrasing your keyword as an ability word, and then making the reminder text into rules text. Limitting it to a ETB effect is a poor choice, as I could see a "whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player Sift 2" ability. The cards should read:
"When ~ ETB sift N (To sift N, put the top N cards of your library into your graveyard, then return a card with a converted mana cost of less then N from your graveyard to your hand)"
it's a cool effect somewhere between dredge and tutoring, VERY powerful, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some infinite combos hidden in there.

Your judgment aside from the definition of pillage (whic half of the definition is to rob, but isn't the entire definition) is still valid of course.

My entry for current thingie:

Turn all face-up creatures face-down.

I could make this cost one less, but balance issues and all that. It's playable without having to break into any tier.
