Actually, the rules not only allow people to get outside assistance, they actually require it.
I've refrained from asking for help here because last time I checked, there weren't that many other Magic players here. So, since you are a Magic player, I hereby request your help!
This is the Round 3 assignment. It's due at 11:59 PM on Sunday.
This is the Wiki that was mentioned above. In order to edit pages, you have to make a wizards.com forums account, log in, and then choose "join group" from the wiki page I linked to. Once you've done that, follow these instructions to add your content.
This links to what I had done before I found the Round 3 test.
So far, the cards I've got in my design submission include a white/blue planeswalker, a tweaked version of a black creature my brother designed, a green creature, a black instant, an artifact, and a land. Which means that the four cards not yet finished need to include an enchantment, a sorcery, and a red card.
Hm, so now we know you didn't make it, but I can't help but notice Deadsands has quite a bit of resemblance to your idea. I wonder if we'll be seeing your ideas mined for a lot of Deadsands cards soon?
My card ideas on the wiki. Looking through my old card ideas, a lot of it was, in hindsight, crap, so that's filtered down quite a bit. I also have a set premise, but it's way too complex to fit in the wordcount requirements of the competition.
(The basic idea was to make it mono-colored, pushing in the opposite direction of Ravnica, then make each color a different type of spellcaster, with very different flavor and mechanics, and something conspicuously missing. For example, red would be an Alchemist, with lots of spells based around combos of opportunity - small-yield combos that're easy to set up, like auras that like to fall off, plus a very high density of linear mechanics; blue would be the D&D wizard with memorization, a morph-like mechanic for 1U without getting a 2/2 out of it; green would be a druid with lots of animal-like creatures, and greatly simplified with instant speed removed entirely; white would be mundane, with nothing magic-flavored whatsoever, and no sorceries, enchantments, or flying (flying replaced by Stealth, "this creature can't be blocked except by scouts and walls", appearing only on scouts)).
