If accepted, design a card that escapes wild blockers*, interpret this however you want. You have 24 hours.

Whenever ~ becomes blocked by a creature, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature and a -1/-1 counter on ~. Then ~ becomes unblocked.

I challenge.
If accepted, make a 4(!) colored card.
It's like you guys are competing for worst criteria ever. 
I'm going with the "lack of white mana" interpretation ala Shards of Alara, instead of "four different colours of mana".
Iniuria, Death of Justice  
Legendary Creature - Horror
Trample
Whenever ~ becomes tapped, you may destroy target permanent.
Whenever ~ becomes untapped, you may cast target card from a graveyard without paying its mana cost.
4/4

Interpreting how I wish is my speciality.
Leafmane Dryad
Creature - Dryad

You may play ~ as though it is a land.
2/2
Essentially, it gets around blocks, or locks. Counterspells, stasis, etc.
Cast it as thoiugh it is a land, does that work only from your hand? or can you recast it from the battlefield? how does this escape blocks?

Okay, a little post about this in my sig which half of the people on here won't even see isn't likely to do a lot, but if you aren't aware of what's going on, educate yourself. And then join in the chorus of voices shouting at the U.S. Congress to stop these bills.

You don't normally play lands from the battlefield, so hand only.
You said wild blockers, interpret freely, so I did. It prevents blocking interaction.

First of all, i am glad that neither of you went with the chinese menu card route (like slamming 4 keywords of each color on the card) which is a big plus. On the other hand neither of you made flavor text, which is sad.
Monomorph 
Instant
Shuffle target creature or creature spell into it's owner's library. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card with converted mana cost equal to the shuffled card's converted mana cost, and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.
Its an interesting new twist of Polymorph  . Transforming creatures is a blue and green  theme and you covered the white side pretty well with the shuffling back into the library. The red side isn't really obvious though, i guess you could reason it with the randomness of the spell but thats kind of a stretch.
Its interesting that you can use it to counter spells (which is a plus).
You chose to let the caster of the spell get a new creature even if the spell is used on an opponents creature, which may be needed in terms of power (since the casting cost is demanding) but that kind of neglects the flavor of morphing imho.
No flavor text means you're a bad person.

I really liked the route you went with the "everything but white"-reasoning and the name of the card further helps to make it feel "anti-white", so thats a plus.
The mechanics while interesting, feel very black/green though. What i didn't like for the second ability, was that graveyard recursion is arguably secondary white, which really hurt the cool concept you chose. I think some non-white mechanic would have been a better choice imho.
Bottom line: In terms of mechanics chaoslight's card was more appealing to me but chintastica's submission felt a little bit more elegant imo and had a better flavor, so i give this victory to chintastica. It was close though, a good flavor text could have changed the outcome.

So if you played it as a land, is it also a creature? when it get blocked, why does this prevent blocking interaction?

You play it as though it was a land. It enters the battlefield as a creature, but it uses up your land drop for the turn and avoids using the stack. You also don't get any cast triggers.
For the whole blocking part, it doesn't, the criteria didn't specify blocking in combat. However, if I play something like stasis, I am hindering the interaction of the game, because my opponent will be unable to do his task.

Challenge!
Make a card involving subgames that doesn't take forever.
Clash in Hades
Sorcery
Each player puts the top twenty cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard. Players play a MAGIC subgame starting with 5 life, using their graveyards as their decks. Spells cost  less to cast in this subgame. Each player who doesn't win the subgame puts the top half of his or her library, rounded down, into his or her graveyard.
The spirits of the dead never lose sight of their purpose.

I still wonder if Moun's card fit the critiria, but yeah i guess you could tweak it around. For Chintastica's card, why does a spirit get -1/-1 counter on himself? if he goes through people and damage them, why does it damage himself? i see you are trying to balance it out, but flavor wise it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Also he is still overpowered.
Mown's card is more creative and has a lot of possible combos. So congratulations Mown!
