Sorry for the delay. I fell asleep at the keyboard halfway through Sir Aureus’s cards. Got em finished now, though. Enjoy:

Deathtouch 1BB: Each player sacrifices a non-spirit creature. Each player who doesn't, draws a card.
"Oh stop crying. It's not like you needed that."
6/6
Respect - Interesting. A mono-white Temple Bell. Already unorthodox, though, it has some justification from cards like Truce. But, those cards haven’t been seen since 5th ed. So, this feels like a color pie screw up.
Growth - You allow an option between getting a ramp, or drawing a card. Regardless, it’s going to give everyone exactly what they want, which makes it better than Temple Bell. Green is good at this sort of thing, of course, so, it seems fair. Regardless, any game where this thing takes off, it’d make the game go nuts.
Impulse - Red has only recently really been introduced to looting, so, I’m not sure this is on color yet. Giving the benefit of the doubt, however, this comes out largely fair. It actually winds up behaving more like speed-burn than card draw, though, as it first hit’s each player for at least 1, 2, then 3. Sure, it’s not much compared to other burn strategies, but it’s much more likely to be ignored and allowed to continue until it’s almost too late, as those card draws make people happy.
Emptiness - Encourages creatureless strategies or only-spirit-based strategies. Nothing exactly wrong with that, but it’s actually more likely to make enemies at the game table than friends. This is the most clear-cut ‘I’m screwing you guys over’ card out of this version of the cycle. Though, it’s not a badly designed card, tbh.
Overall - I‘m not sure I see how my original card fits into this cycle, as it distracts players with a tedious action while giving the controller a simple, clear-cut bonus that is likely to go unnoticed (Or, that‘s what I believe it‘d do). Each of your cards do little distracting and a lot of benefiting everyone equally. As far as each card design goes, though, you have one error, two iffy cards, and an okay, so you get a

Flying 1B: You and target opponent each choose a target permanent. Destroy those permanents.

6/6 "I own their ambition. I can skim whatever I happen to need off the top."
IIW siggy
Blinding - So, the other players each tap their creatures while you machine-gun off some draws. Would likely make some enemies at the table. Then again, there’s nothing preventing them from simply tapping creatures that are already tapped, so, meh. Though, white is not apt for repeated, one-sided drawing at such a cheap rate. Color error there.
Offerings - A slight wording snafu: ‘Two target players each sacrifice a creature’ would have sufficed. Definitely will irritate foes. Also a very powerful card advantage engine, except in 1v1. Black rarely gets card-draw, but when they do, it’s tacked onto activation costs like this. However, they also generally come with drawbacks such as ‘pay 2 life’ or the like. This comes with a very powerful advantage. So, I’m afraid this is a bit too strong.
War - Rapid card draw in red? Odd, to say the least, and likely about as far off as mono-white rapid card draw. The chances are the other half of the ability will be useful as well, as it can allow you to force an opponent to shove a creature they control under the bus of a 6/6 flying Pyram.
Growth - I cannot think of a situation in which you would not choose yourself as one of the two players to target with that ability. You would put sooooo many +1/+1 counters on that Pyram, swinging for the fences in the meantime and drawing fistfuls of cards. Bit too good.
Overall - I can see how you approached the concept: Pyram‘s are 6/6 flying Spirits for 4CCC that allow their controller to draw lots of cards and grant some other benefit as well. However, your execution leaves me wanting. Also, the majority of your flavor texts confused me. Why does the white one want to collect eyes?

In my head, Pyrams are the patron spirits of civilisation: law, trade, punishment, war, agriculture. They are also greedy bastards.
The black one is intentionally reversed. Black will do anything to win, even if it means breaking a cycle.
IIW: The paranormal.
Ordinance - With enough mana, this allows the controller to keep each opponent completely tapped down with enough mana. After all, you just pay it once, tap the Pyram, get a token, pay it again, tap the token, get another token, pay it again, ect, ect, each turn, until you have more tokens that anyone should rightfully have. On the other hand, it’s not targeted, and it does cost 2C per activation, so it’s not without holes. A fair enough design, one that applies pressure from two different fronts.
Discipline - Ah, the cycle is broken. You could have worded it slightly differently, though, since the ‘if you do’ is largely null. If you don’t, nothing’s happening anyways, so, yeah. In a deck, this honestly wins you the game at any point that you are at 8 and they are at 7 or less. Add more creatures to the mix, and getting them down to that point is stupidly easy. I could see this card ending games really fast. Honestly, a bit too fast, as those creatures likely attacked in the meantime as well. It feels quite mythic, but is too strong.
Retribution - An ability that pays for itself. Good thing you gave the creature 3 toughness, else it’d be absurdly good. As is, in any multiplayer game, this will either wipe the board entirely without draining your overall mana at all, or it will be used to ramp up to an absurd number while getting rid of dozens of tokens. It’s an interesting take on a ritual, and feels appropriate for seven mana.
Abundance - Out of the cycle, this does the least for the controller. Each player slams a permanent down onto the field and you gain 4 life. The most expensive activation cost as well. This card would make some friends for you, for sure, and, once everyone’s hand is empty, perhaps stall the game out long enough for you to win. Intriguing design.
Overall - I like your approach to this challenge. You fleshed out a largely blank concept with your own creative juices. The card designs themselves were pretty smooth too. You get a
So, a Pyram is basically a pyramid creature? *confused* Oh well... modeling this after US government cabinet posts (following the Commerce thing)

Creature - Spirit (M)

6/6
The cycle: Pyram of State4WWW
Creature - Spirit (M)
Vigilance 1W: Two target players compare the number of each type of permanent he or she controls. The player with the most of each type of permanent exiles a number of that type of permanent until both players control the same number. You may choose a permanent exiled this turn and put it onto the battlefield under your control.

Pyram of Education4BBB
Creature - Spirit (M)
Intimidate 1B: Two target players may each sacrifice up to three creatures. Then those players draw a card for each creature he or she sacrificed this turn. You gain life equal to each creature that went to a graveyard from the battlefield this turn.
6/6 "They learn; I live."
IIW: Going with k-rad here. Designing under the influence (interpret as you will).
State - A repeatable, selective balance that puts you out ahead of everybody else regardless of who it was between goes for 1C?! Seriously, you just have to pick a player with mostly enchantments and a player with none, and it becomes “1W: Exile all enchantments target player controls, then take one of them and stick it on your side of the field.” Way too overwhelming and abusive.
Labor - Just pick yourself, double the number of counters on an artifact, then double them again? Seems a little overwhelming. Of course, it also seems very corner-case outside of ‘+1/+1 counters on artifact creatures’. In that case, all the same, it quadruples the number of +1/+1 counters there, for 2 mana! It even says ‘up to’, so you never have to benefit anyone other than yourself with this ability, even if they were lucky enough to have artifacts that relied on counters.
Agriculture - Another card that I cannot see you use on anyone other than yourself. Also, as far as ramp goes, this thing’s quality is unprecedented. Compare to Primeval Titan, which, at -1 cmc, only gets 2 lands a turn, and is still considered an absurdly good card, This will help thin out your opponents’ decks as well, but they don’t get to play the lands, and if you’re in a multiplayer game, it might not be the same player each time either. Again, too strong.
Education - This card is fair. Trade creatures for cards in hand. The life gain tacked on is massive in scope, since once you and two other players each sacrifice 3 creatures each, it’s 1B: Gain 9 life. So, you’re flirting with the upper edge of reasonable with powerful life-gain there, but, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Overall - You clearly did not really slide into the idea all that well. Pyram‘s were intended to be a nebulous concept which you could adjust to whatever idea sprang to your mind, not ‘Pyramid Creatures’. However, if ‘Pyramid Creatures’ jumps to your mind when you ponder on what a Pyram might be, then you could adjust the idea to fit that. Your designs were far too aggressive, of course, so you get a

Pyram of Artifice 7 (Mythic Rare)
Artifact Creature - Spirit Golem
No colored mana may be spent to cast Pyram of Artifice. Metalcraft - Tap an artifact you control: Destroy target colored permanent. Activate this ability only if you control three or more artifacts. 2: Put a charge counter on target artifact you control. "They live, I never will."
6/6
IIW: Create cards that operate with gold counters. (Thanks, Prophylaxis!)
Purity - Wording screw-up. It’d just be ‘Each player sacrifices a non-white permanent’. The ‘if able’ and ‘must’ are implied. As far as the design goes: scary. 2 mana to have each player sacrifice a permanent will decimate any player who doesn’t have a heavy commitment to white. Even then, they’ll be sacrificing lands like crazy as this fires off again and again.
Predation - This makes any creature you control with a big rump into a powerful source of removal. Compare to Ancient Hellkite. Sure, the card isn’t all that great, but it’s very good at burning creatures down. At the same cmc, but for one more on the activated ability, this card deals at least 6 damage. Sure, it might take your creature down as well, but that very well might be a reasonable price to pay, and hey, a clever player wont often reach that mark.
Rage - This is interesting and nebulous enough that it’s unclear how it would really turn out. It could range anywhere from ‘incredibly great’ to ‘risky’. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on it. Also, there’s a minor wording error as well, so you know.
Rot - Effectively a board wipe. Once this thing starts going off, either there wont be anything left on the board, or the board will have so little left on it that it might as well not have anything left. Cool design. Also, it’d be ‘Each player chooses a target creature. Destroy those creatures.’
Artifice - The first colorless Pyram we’ve got. It has an odd casting restriction which actually makes it more difficult to cast that the normal versions. Looking past that, we’ve got a metalcraft ability that turns your artifacts into vindicating machines. Also, that ability needs to read ‘tap an untapped artifact you control:’ else you could tap the same artifact infinitely and destroy all colored permanents. This card really breaks the cycle, though, and that second activated ability seems tacked on and out-of-place.
Overall - Really, these come across as being hurriedly made. I recommend taking your time with the next challenge and thinking things through.

7/7
State - This is more how white would use card draw. Lock the opponent out of combat with a bribe. I like the flavor of this. As for mechanics, it’s very aggressive. With 5 toughness it’s pretty resilient, and that ability can keep any aggro deck locked down indefinitely, but it helps them dig through their library to find a way to get rid of this guy. It seems like it’d be, by large, a fair, if heavy-handed, design. Though, it is a mythic, so, good job.
Justice - This feel much more like a rare than a mythic. Sure, it packs a fine retributive punch, but it only deals half damage back. Compare to Vengeful Archon for more details. As a rare, it’s an awesome card that makes anyone think twice. As a mythic, it just lacks that ‘wow’ factor.
Homeland Security - It’s an indestructible wall that makes all your creatures more wall-like. I am underwhelmed. This is supposed to be a mythic? Come on man.
Housing and Urban Development - Yikes. Now that’s more like it. Massive cost reduction and shroud on top of that. All on a body that would likely see play in a constructed format, especially when it’s reducing the cost by freaking 3! Seems fine, considering other cards have competing levels of cost reduction for artifacts (Etherium Sculptor). The flavor on this, is all screwy for an MtG world, but cool considering your inspiration.
Transportation - Islandwalk and the untapping seem to be dragging this card in two different directions, so, you have an issue there. Also, this is another card that you have at mythic that just lacks the epic feel. I realize that turning all your creatures into Horseshoe Crabs is awesome, but, still, it’d be fine as a rare.
Education - Way too strong. Compare to Sphinx of Magosi . I would argue that, minus the +1/+1 counter part, the ability should still cost at least 1U to activate. This is less than that and has added utility in that it can help in multiplayer. Way too strong.
Veterans' Affairs - That’s epic recursion. Definitely feels mythic, considering returning at a price like that is unprecedented, and overwhelmingly useful. Is it overpowered? I would honestly actually doubt it, considering you’re replacing a draw with the returned card all the same. Good design.
The Treasury - I would say that this is to Crypt of Agadeem as Magus of the Coffers is to Cabal Coffers, but this is so much bigger. This doesn’t just count creatures, it counts all cards. That kind of ramp is, quite honestly, Cabal Coffers worthy. Having said that, it may actually be a little too strong. Definitely mythic feeling, no doubt.
Labor - Act of Treason on a stick. Quite epic. With enough mana, this can take away your opponent’s creatures often enough that you swing through with no issue each time. But, that takes a lot of mana to pull off, so, seems fair.
Energy - Effects like this are risky, and often result in the game going crazy with them. Definitely mythic, but too strong by virtue of the idea itself.
Defense - Another card too generic to be a mythic. Also feels fathoms more white. Not much to pick apart or point out on this card past that.
Health and Human Services - I like this. Asceticism on legs minus the hexproof. A little boring, however. Another card which would have worked fine as a rare.
Agriculture - Now this is closer to a mythic. A hexproof, one-sided Heartbeat of Spring with legs. Same cmc as Mana Reflection, which makes plenty of sense. All around, well designed.
The Interior - Alright, so, you have to tap two lands to make a third land a 2/2 creature? That’s actually fair, considering it’s a 2/2 indestructible creature. Now that’s how you make an army of walls. Mythic works here just fine.
Overall - You made enough cards here to fill in every single mythic slot in an entire large or core set (I don’t particularly think rarities are a necessary part of design, but a card still always falls in a particular rarity, so, if you include it, you‘re simply judging what that rarity is), and while some of these cards were elegant and unique, you spread yourself too thin to make them all excellent. For all the cards you made that excelled, you made one other that didn’t do too well. I like how you put a spin on the matter, however.

"I control the network. My power is in the numbers."
7/5
Artifice - [card]Deathless Angel[card] for all permanents? That’s a big enough pump-up to justify the leap to Mythic. A little on the weak side, however. Perhaps could use a reduction by 1 in that activation cost.
Slavery - Whoa. Epic much? Definitely a mythic card. Stealing a card permanently is rare as is. Stealing mutiple cards is rare worthy. This does both at the same time, making for an obviously mind-blowing card. At the same time, that damage will kill you if you aren’t careful, so this winds up fairly enough.
Threat - A repeatable front-line pump? Cool. I imagine that, if you swing with this thing, you pretty much win. It’s doesn’t have enough ‘whoa’ factor to justify it as a mythic, however, so, slightly screwy there.
Dependence - This card is little more than a beatstick. A beatstick with isn’t even good enough to be rare, to be perfectly honest. It’d make a fine uncommon, however.
Overall - A couple of good cards here. I have a little difficulty seeing how the cycle fits together, but it seems cool enough. However, since the cards were split evenly between ‘needs work’ and ‘awesome’, you’ll get a

IIW: A cycle of Demons.
Warfare - I cannot imagine a situation where you wouldn’t choose yourself as part of the receiving end. As a whole, shading your entire field and producing 2/2 tokens at instant speed is good. Makes for a considerable mythic.
Contracts - In this one, I cannot imagine a situation when you would want to target yourself. Past that, of course, you’ve got a card very similar to Sir Aureus’s Pyram of Veterans’ Affairs, which I liked. This is a bit more expensive, but also includes decent-speed mill, so you’re good on this one.
Arson - Cannot think of a situation where you would target yourself with this. Fair mana ramp. Too tired to pick this apart much more.
Wildness - The two sides seem disjointed and unconnected, but actually can make for several different options. Also, again, cannot picture a situation in which you would choose to not give yourself an extra three life.
Overall - A good batch. Needs some polish, but you shall receive, for your efforts, a

Slight wording issues, but it's no big deal. I really like this, by the way. Smacks of tricksy ghosts. 8/10
Timothy, Mimeslayer - Ghostbusters
Keymaster and Gatekeeper is overcosted. Gozer is okay, but I'm not sure it's worth the hoops. Parasitism at this high a rarity is a terrible idea, by the way. Crossing the Streams is pretty nice, but should probably exile. 5/10

Lifeloss in white? For serious? Black works much nicer. 5/10

Winterspring - Possession
I don't know if this is broken or trash. Nice card, regardless. 7/10

Now this is just bonkers with a sac outlet, but perhaps not too good without one. The flavour is really, really nice. 7/10

Azure Mage poor cousin. Nice limited card that's actually pretty good late game. 7/10

Nifty flavour, but overcosted slightly. Phasing is pretty fun, though. 6/10
So, it's a tossup between Vishamon and JonFuryZacharias, but I'm going to give it to JonFuryZacharias for his hilarious enchantment. Their IIWs are pretty similar, so it doesn't matter much.

Respect - Interesting. A mono-white Temple Bell. Already unorthodox, though, it has some justification from cards like Truce. But, those cards haven’t been seen since 5th ed. So, this feels like a color pie screw up.
Growth - You allow an option between getting a ramp, or drawing a card. Regardless, it’s going to give everyone exactly what they want, which makes it better than Temple Bell. Green is good at this sort of thing, of course, so, it seems fair. Regardless, any game where this thing takes off, it’d make the game go nuts.
Impulse - Red has only recently really been introduced to looting, so, I’m not sure this is on color yet. Giving the benefit of the doubt, however, this comes out largely fair. It actually winds up behaving more like speed-burn than card draw, though, as it first hit’s each player for at least 1, 2, then 3. Sure, it’s not much compared to other burn strategies, but it’s much more likely to be ignored and allowed to continue until it’s almost too late, as those card draws make people happy.
Emptiness - Encourages creatureless strategies or only-spirit-based strategies. Nothing exactly wrong with that, but it’s actually more likely to make enemies at the game table than friends. This is the most clear-cut ‘I’m screwing you guys over’ card out of this version of the cycle. Though, it’s not a badly designed card, tbh.
Overall - I‘m not sure I see how my original card fits into this cycle, as it distracts players with a tedious action while giving the controller a simple, clear-cut bonus that is likely to go unnoticed (Or, that‘s what I believe it‘d do). Each of your cards do little distracting and a lot of benefiting everyone equally. As far as each card design goes, though, you have one error, two iffy cards, and an okay, so you get a
Decay - Simple and aggressive. Would decimate the field quickly. Feels accurate at mythic.
Overall - This does not make a cycle.
Blinding - So, the other players each tap their creatures while you machine-gun off some draws. Would likely make some enemies at the table. Then again, there’s nothing preventing them from simply tapping creatures that are already tapped, so, meh. Though, white is not apt for repeated, one-sided drawing at such a cheap rate. Color error there.
Offerings - A slight wording snafu: ‘Two target players each sacrifice a creature’ would have sufficed. Definitely will irritate foes. Also a very powerful card advantage engine, except in 1v1. Black rarely gets card-draw, but when they do, it’s tacked onto activation costs like this. However, they also generally come with drawbacks such as ‘pay 2 life’ or the like. This comes with a very powerful advantage. So, I’m afraid this is a bit too strong.
War - Rapid card draw in red? Odd, to say the least, and likely about as far off as mono-white rapid card draw. The chances are the other half of the ability will be useful as well, as it can allow you to force an opponent to shove a creature they control under the bus of a 6/6 flying Pyram.
Growth - I cannot think of a situation in which you would not choose yourself as one of the two players to target with that ability. You would put sooooo many +1/+1 counters on that Pyram, swinging for the fences in the meantime and drawing fistfuls of cards. Bit too good.
Overall - I can see how you approached the concept: Pyram‘s are 6/6 flying Spirits for 4CCC that allow their controller to draw lots of cards and grant some other benefit as well. However, your execution leaves me wanting. Also, the majority of your flavor texts confused me. Why does the white one want to collect eyes?
Ordinance - With enough mana, this allows the controller to keep each opponent completely tapped down with enough mana. After all, you just pay it once, tap the Pyram, get a token, pay it again, tap the token, get another token, pay it again, ect, ect, each turn, until you have more tokens that anyone should rightfully have. On the other hand, it’s not targeted, and it does cost 2C per activation, so it’s not without holes. A fair enough design, one that applies pressure from two different fronts.
Discipline - Ah, the cycle is broken. You could have worded it slightly differently, though, since the ‘if you do’ is largely null. If you don’t, nothing’s happening anyways, so, yeah. In a deck, this honestly wins you the game at any point that you are at 8 and they are at 7 or less. Add more creatures to the mix, and getting them down to that point is stupidly easy. I could see this card ending games really fast. Honestly, a bit too fast, as those creatures likely attacked in the meantime as well. It feels quite mythic, but is too strong.
Retribution - An ability that pays for itself. Good thing you gave the creature 3 toughness, else it’d be absurdly good. As is, in any multiplayer game, this will either wipe the board entirely without draining your overall mana at all, or it will be used to ramp up to an absurd number while getting rid of dozens of tokens. It’s an interesting take on a ritual, and feels appropriate for seven mana.
Abundance - Out of the cycle, this does the least for the controller. Each player slams a permanent down onto the field and you gain 4 life. The most expensive activation cost as well. This card would make some friends for you, for sure, and, once everyone’s hand is empty, perhaps stall the game out long enough for you to win. Intriguing design.
Overall - I like your approach to this challenge. You fleshed out a largely blank concept with your own creative juices. The card designs themselves were pretty smooth too. You get a
State - A repeatable, selective balance that puts you out ahead of everybody else regardless of who it was between goes for 1C?! Seriously, you just have to pick a player with mostly enchantments and a player with none, and it becomes “1W: Exile all enchantments target player controls, then take one of them and stick it on your side of the field.” Way too overwhelming and abusive.
Labor - Just pick yourself, double the number of counters on an artifact, then double them again? Seems a little overwhelming. Of course, it also seems very corner-case outside of ‘+1/+1 counters on artifact creatures’. In that case, all the same, it quadruples the number of +1/+1 counters there, for 2 mana! It even says ‘up to’, so you never have to benefit anyone other than yourself with this ability, even if they were lucky enough to have artifacts that relied on counters.
Agriculture - Another card that I cannot see you use on anyone other than yourself. Also, as far as ramp goes, this thing’s quality is unprecedented. Compare to Primeval Titan, which, at -1 cmc, only gets 2 lands a turn, and is still considered an absurdly good card, This will help thin out your opponents’ decks as well, but they don’t get to play the lands, and if you’re in a multiplayer game, it might not be the same player each time either. Again, too strong.
Education - This card is fair. Trade creatures for cards in hand. The life gain tacked on is massive in scope, since once you and two other players each sacrifice 3 creatures each, it’s 1B: Gain 9 life. So, you’re flirting with the upper edge of reasonable with powerful life-gain there, but, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Overall - You clearly did not really slide into the idea all that well. Pyram‘s were intended to be a nebulous concept which you could adjust to whatever idea sprang to your mind, not ‘Pyramid Creatures’. However, if ‘Pyramid Creatures’ jumps to your mind when you ponder on what a Pyram might be, then you could adjust the idea to fit that. Your designs were far too aggressive, of course, so you get a
Purity - Wording screw-up. It’d just be ‘Each player sacrifices a non-white permanent’. The ‘if able’ and ‘must’ are implied. As far as the design goes: scary. 2 mana to have each player sacrifice a permanent will decimate any player who doesn’t have a heavy commitment to white. Even then, they’ll be sacrificing lands like crazy as this fires off again and again.
Predation - This makes any creature you control with a big rump into a powerful source of removal. Compare to Ancient Hellkite. Sure, the card isn’t all that great, but it’s very good at burning creatures down. At the same cmc, but for one more on the activated ability, this card deals at least 6 damage. Sure, it might take your creature down as well, but that very well might be a reasonable price to pay, and hey, a clever player wont often reach that mark.
Rage - This is interesting and nebulous enough that it’s unclear how it would really turn out. It could range anywhere from ‘incredibly great’ to ‘risky’. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on it. Also, there’s a minor wording error as well, so you know.
Rot - Effectively a board wipe. Once this thing starts going off, either there wont be anything left on the board, or the board will have so little left on it that it might as well not have anything left. Cool design. Also, it’d be ‘Each player chooses a target creature. Destroy those creatures.’
Artifice - The first colorless Pyram we’ve got. It has an odd casting restriction which actually makes it more difficult to cast that the normal versions. Looking past that, we’ve got a metalcraft ability that turns your artifacts into vindicating machines. Also, that ability needs to read ‘tap an untapped artifact you control:’ else you could tap the same artifact infinitely and destroy all colored permanents. This card really breaks the cycle, though, and that second activated ability seems tacked on and out-of-place.
Overall - Really, these come across as being hurriedly made. I recommend taking your time with the next challenge and thinking things through.
State - This is more how white would use card draw. Lock the opponent out of combat with a bribe. I like the flavor of this. As for mechanics, it’s very aggressive. With 5 toughness it’s pretty resilient, and that ability can keep any aggro deck locked down indefinitely, but it helps them dig through their library to find a way to get rid of this guy. It seems like it’d be, by large, a fair, if heavy-handed, design. Though, it is a mythic, so, good job.
Justice - This feel much more like a rare than a mythic. Sure, it packs a fine retributive punch, but it only deals half damage back. Compare to Vengeful Archon for more details. As a rare, it’s an awesome card that makes anyone think twice. As a mythic, it just lacks that ‘wow’ factor.
Homeland Security - It’s an indestructible wall that makes all your creatures more wall-like. I am underwhelmed. This is supposed to be a mythic? Come on man.
Housing and Urban Development - Yikes. Now that’s more like it. Massive cost reduction and shroud on top of that. All on a body that would likely see play in a constructed format, especially when it’s reducing the cost by freaking 3! Seems fine, considering other cards have competing levels of cost reduction for artifacts (Etherium Sculptor). The flavor on this, is all screwy for an MtG world, but cool considering your inspiration.
Transportation - Islandwalk and the untapping seem to be dragging this card in two different directions, so, you have an issue there. Also, this is another card that you have at mythic that just lacks the epic feel. I realize that turning all your creatures into Horseshoe Crabs is awesome, but, still, it’d be fine as a rare.
Education - Way too strong. Compare to Sphinx of Magosi . I would argue that, minus the +1/+1 counter part, the ability should still cost at least 1U to activate. This is less than that and has added utility in that it can help in multiplayer. Way too strong.
Veterans' Affairs - That’s epic recursion. Definitely feels mythic, considering returning at a price like that is unprecedented, and overwhelmingly useful. Is it overpowered? I would honestly actually doubt it, considering you’re replacing a draw with the returned card all the same. Good design.
The Treasury - I would say that this is to Crypt of Agadeem as Magus of the Coffers is to Cabal Coffers, but this is so much bigger. This doesn’t just count creatures, it counts all cards. That kind of ramp is, quite honestly, Cabal Coffers worthy. Having said that, it may actually be a little too strong. Definitely mythic feeling, no doubt.
Labor - Act of Treason on a stick. Quite epic. With enough mana, this can take away your opponent’s creatures often enough that you swing through with no issue each time. But, that takes a lot of mana to pull off, so, seems fair.
Energy - Effects like this are risky, and often result in the game going crazy with them. Definitely mythic, but too strong by virtue of the idea itself.
Defense - Another card too generic to be a mythic. Also feels fathoms more white. Not much to pick apart or point out on this card past that.
Health and Human Services - I like this. Asceticism on legs minus the hexproof. A little boring, however. Another card which would have worked fine as a rare.
Agriculture - Now this is closer to a mythic. A hexproof, one-sided Heartbeat of Spring with legs. Same cmc as Mana Reflection, which makes plenty of sense. All around, well designed.
The Interior - Alright, so, you have to tap two lands to make a third land a 2/2 creature? That’s actually fair, considering it’s a 2/2 indestructible creature. Now that’s how you make an army of walls. Mythic works here just fine.
Overall - You made enough cards here to fill in every single mythic slot in an entire large or core set (I don’t particularly think rarities are a necessary part of design, but a card still always falls in a particular rarity, so, if you include it, you‘re simply judging what that rarity is), and while some of these cards were elegant and unique, you spread yourself too thin to make them all excellent. For all the cards you made that excelled, you made one other that didn’t do too well. I like how you put a spin on the matter, however.
Artifice - [card]Deathless Angel[card] for all permanents? That’s a big enough pump-up to justify the leap to Mythic. A little on the weak side, however. Perhaps could use a reduction by 1 in that activation cost.
Slavery - Whoa. Epic much? Definitely a mythic card. Stealing a card permanently is rare as is. Stealing mutiple cards is rare worthy. This does both at the same time, making for an obviously mind-blowing card. At the same time, that damage will kill you if you aren’t careful, so this winds up fairly enough.
Threat - A repeatable front-line pump? Cool. I imagine that, if you swing with this thing, you pretty much win. It’s doesn’t have enough ‘whoa’ factor to justify it as a mythic, however, so, slightly screwy there.
Dependence - This card is little more than a beatstick. A beatstick with isn’t even good enough to be rare, to be perfectly honest. It’d make a fine uncommon, however.
Overall - A couple of good cards here. I have a little difficulty seeing how the cycle fits together, but it seems cool enough. However, since the cards were split evenly between ‘needs work’ and ‘awesome’, you’ll get a
Warfare - I cannot imagine a situation where you wouldn’t choose yourself as part of the receiving end. As a whole, shading your entire field and producing 2/2 tokens at instant speed is good. Makes for a considerable mythic.
Contracts - In this one, I cannot imagine a situation when you would want to target yourself. Past that, of course, you’ve got a card very similar to Sir Aureus’s Pyram of Veterans’ Affairs, which I liked. This is a bit more expensive, but also includes decent-speed mill, so you’re good on this one.
Arson - Cannot think of a situation where you would target yourself with this. Fair mana ramp. Too tired to pick this apart much more.
Wildness - The two sides seem disjointed and unconnected, but actually can make for several different options. Also, again, cannot picture a situation in which you would choose to not give yourself an extra three life.
Overall - A good batch. Needs some polish, but you shall receive, for your efforts, a

Slight wording issues, but it's no big deal. I really like this, by the way. Smacks of tricksy ghosts. 8/10
Timothy, Mimeslayer - Ghostbusters
Keymaster and Gatekeeper is overcosted. Gozer is okay, but I'm not sure it's worth the hoops. Parasitism at this high a rarity is a terrible idea, by the way. Crossing the Streams is pretty nice, but should probably exile. 5/10
