Insane? Are you kidding? I've made hundreds of them.
...okay, not literally hundreds, but you know, lots.

Clockwork (At the beginning of your upkeep, put a clockwork counter on this permanent)
This will mainly be used with artifacts. The beauty of the keyword is that its so blank i can do anything with it Ex: This creature gets +1/+1 for each clockwork counter on it.
What you see as the "beauty" of it, I see as the biggest problem. It's got the "kicker problem" - that is, it's too broad. It lacks any real definition.
Quote:
Cluster (Whenever a creature you control attacks, you may attatch this creature to the attacking creature as though it were an equipment. The equipped creature gets +x/+Y where x is its power and y is its toughness. If the equipped creature is destroyed when this is attached, sacrifice this creature)
Basically adding your smaller creatures to a bigger creature to buff it up.
The rules issues with this are far too numerous to name. Not to mention it can't possibly go on common, which is what you really want to look for with keyword themes.
Quote:
Haze ((Still working on a better name for this)) (Whenever this creature enters combat, remove all power and toughness modifiers from the creatures in combat until end of turn)
Again, this has rules issues surrounding it. Plus it doesn't really seem like the kind of thing you can put on multiple creatures - if anything, it's a one-of card.
Quote:
Legion X (As long as you control another X creature, this creature gets a bonus)
This would be similar to metal craft. Ex: Legion Knight
This one works, though as an ability word rather than a keyword.
Quote:
Beserk X (When this creature attacks, it gets +X/+X and is indestructible until end of turn. At end of turn, sacrifice this creature)
This one's fringe, though it seems more like the sort of thing that'd go on one or two cards rather than act as a keyword.
Quote:
Clan Smash (When this creature attacks, you may sacrifice X creatures that share a creature type with this creature. This creature gets +X/+X where X is the amount of creatures sacrificed)
Again, this is a single card, not a keyword.
Quote:
Ambush (When you are assigning blockers, you may play this card for its ambush cost. Sacrifice it at end of turn.)
I don't see why you couldn't just use flash for this.
