Hot damn, I really am going to regret this. I'll try to keep up as best I can; in the meantime, I'm accepting critique (especially if you feel I didn't meet your criteria) from anyone that wants to hand it out.
Actually your penance is that you don't get gradings on your cards.

So this is a punishment thread? bwahaha!
Create a planeswalker based on me. 
Oooh, and right after the Glutton one too!
Scion, Chef Universal    
Planeswalker - Scion
[+1] - Sacrifice a permanent you control. Search each player's library for a card that shares a type with that permanent, reveal them, and put them into their owner's hands. Each player shuffles their library afterwards.
[-2] - You may replace all instances of a color word or creature type in the text of the next instant or sorcery spell you cast this turn with another color word or creature type.
[-6] - Choose a permanent type. You gain an emblem with, "Creatures you control gain +2/+2 for each permanent of the chosen type on the battlefield."
[3]
He cooks up ideal battlefield conditions - and alters the flavor of cards!
It's funny because in life I can't cook to save my life.

Hmm, didn't join your contest but I am curious to see how city-building would be interpreted within 3 cards or to put it in another way, how the development of a city can be represented.

Your set is going to have fox tribal elements. Like most tribes, foxes are going to have a unique identity (but in this case not the same as the kitsune  ). What exactly that is would be up to you. Make at least one card of each rarity (and a fifth of any rarity except mythic rare if you so choose), which together effectively illustrate what this tribe would do.
*never passes up an opportunity to make someone make foxes*
Delaying eating lunch for your foxes.
So, foxes! Mostly (scratch that, ALWAYS) tricksters in myths, they've somehow managed to become conflated with White in Magic. This confuses the ever-loving hell out of me, especially since the ever-famous Kitsune themselves are amoral shapeshifting jerks, which should put them somewhere in  or  . So, if the set I'm designing has tribal elements - perhaps even a tribal theme - I'm going to run with this 'shapeshifter' theme and make the Foxes a minor tribe that steals the powers of others by becoming like them, spreading my foxes all through  with that common thread of 'shapeshifting' present.
Vixarii Cannibal
Creature - Fox Shapeshifter [Common]
Intimidate
When Vixarii Cannibal enters the battlefield, you may exile a creature card from your graveyard. If you do, Vixarii Cannibal is all the creature types of the exiled card in addition to its other types.
2/1
Vixarii Duplicity
Tribal Instant - Fox [Uncommon]
Counter target spell unless its controller has Vixarii Duplicity deal X damage to them, where X is equal to the number of creature types amongst creatures you control.
There is more than one way to torture a man. Vixarii prefer to trick their victims into torturing themselves.
Hides-Her-Smile 
Legendary Creature - Fox Assassin Wizard [Rare]
Deathtouch
Whenever Hides-Her-Smile deals combat damage to a creature, its controller chooses one: Hides-Her-Smile deals that much damage to each creature that shares a type with it, or Hides-Her-Smile deals twice that much damage to that creature's controller.
3/2

Though I wasn't in that recently graded contest, I still feel there is fun to be had here. Time to be evil...
Make a flavorful and balanced 1 cmc colorless planeswalker with four loyalty abilities.
Bonus round: Make an instant or sorcery card that utilizes the transform mechanic.
You, sir or madam, are evil. I love you.
Story
Show
Mikka's world was never anything special; a small sphereoid devoid of significant deviance from most worlds in the Multiverse, its people mostly grew crops and subsisted on the land. As it turns out, 'nothing special' essentially described her tiny worldlet; formed of leftover energies from the great workings of the Planeswalkers of old, Mikka's world could easily have been any of the dozens, perhaps hundreds of others like it.
Until the collapse. It could have happened to any of the worldlets, but it happened to Mikka's, and the girl panicked as reality itself began unraveling and the stolen energies that composed her home snapped, frayed, and shattered. Desperate to live with a ferocity wholly alien to her tiny, insignificant home, Mikka hurled herself into the Blind Eternities by sheer force of will - and got stuck there, failing to land on any particular plane. Deprived of access to mana and unaware of the realities of either spellwork or the Multiverse, Mikka drifted for years, stealing bits and fragments of power that trailed past her in the endless void of the Eternities, teaching herself crude magics and brutally refining them until they obeyed her will. The going was hard, so hard, but she managed to first control her drift, and then begin moving through the Eternities in earnest.
Mikka's first destination was a worldlet much like her own, but her very presence began unbinding that worldlet's reality as it was devoured by the spells she'd cobbled together to attract stray power to her. Fleeing the realm before she could cause a catastrophe like the one she'd suffered through, she returned to her drifting, determined to simply subsist on her magics - until she was discovered quite by accident when her power snared Nicol Bolas during one of his planar shifts. Shunted suddenly into the Eternities, the dragon nearly killed Mikka out of hand, but in her terrified defiance he sensed potential. A deal was struck - Bolas would teach the girl, and in return, she would serve him. Her lessons proceed well, her strange homegrown spells refined by the wyrm's vicious cunning and intellect. Soon she will go forth to do his will and, perhaps, make a decision about where she stands in the conflicts that she remains blissfully unaware of. Mikka, Student of the Eternities Planeswalker - Mikka [+1] - Add to each player's mana pool. [+1] - Target creature loses all creature types until end of turn. [-4] - Add  to your mana pool, where X is the number of cards in your graveyard. [-6] - You gain an emblem with, "You may spend mana from your mana pool as though it were mana of the color(s) of your choice." [1] Bonus round in next post.

Make a ludicrously expensive spell that is both justifiably expensive and does not directly correlate to "I win, go home." Say, around 15-20 CMC.

Myths about kitsune are hardly consistent in that portrayal (presumably some are nicer than others). There are stories about kitsune being benevolent and helpful as well, which is what inspired the portrayal in Magic since they were strapped for a white race.
