My submissions are a multiplying Thorn Bush and a teleporting Mana Cactus. Thorn bush satisfies the minion challenge and Cactus satisfies the magic trigger challenge.
This minion slowly multiplies around the board, creating an obstacle for path units, giving cover for short-range units, and threatening enemy minions. Using this minion would call for using more unblockable and magic units to get around the bushes more easily.
The Mana Cactus has the same concept of poisoning on contact. It can teleport near key squares and threaten enemies with a poison trigger at a low point cost. It also poisons melee attackers, making it a bit harder to get rid of.

Thorn Bush just barely qualifies for the bonus challenge since I never specified whether it had to be while the piece was alive. Mana cactus qualifies for the normal challenge.

Not terribly thrilled with these, but the idea was that holding an enemy takes energy, which must be restored by consuming nutrients -- in this case, dead bodies. I don't think I'm going to mess with this round beyond this point, so these will have to do.
I had a "Move or Attack Minion" ability (the trigger was like the Ent's trigger, below), but one of the tiers would always end up too long. Unfortunately, while I like the concept, these seem rather useless, in my opinion.
The initial idea was loosely based off of a Crow/Witch Minion/Champion pair that I had been working on some time previous (in that case, the Crow resting on an enemy fallen location decreased its own value and enemy's morale, transforming into Witch when it reached 0 value).
Probably more use as a morale bank than a minion counter or offensive unit... Although at least the Ents could potentially hold a minion for quite a few turns, unlike the Entlings.
Originally, I had the trigger text say that it held the minion until the caster was moved or couldn't pay, but then I realized that was unnecessary: as long as it only binds for 1 turn, that would automatically be the case.

Wait, what? You told me that "attack minions" meant melee attack, which means these would not qualify for the bonus.
So which is it?

Sorry, I messed up. Magic and ranged counts too. Since I messed up on this so badly I'll give an extra 5 RP to any designs that originally include melee attacks as the minion attack type.

A spark, not quite a wisp but it's unusual glory compels minions to seek the bright light. Meets only the bonus challenge.
The Dullahan, a headless rider that will surely bring death. Weaken is basically a two-hit destroy but the second hit can be from anything. Meets only the normal challenge.

Both units qualify for the normal challenge, but only centurion qualifies for the bonus challenge. Make sure that you set them to be Forest rather than basic type though. This is a Forest tourney and even though it's a small difference I do require all units to have the Forest tag.

Round 2 Entries
My minion submission is Ice Mirror, which qualifies both challenges. It reflects non-melee abilities and has a special Ranged freeze move.
My champion submission is Manticore, qualifying for the Ranged challenge. It features a Path Ranged ability that poisons enemies on its knight squares as well as diagonally at ++.

An Eagle with a Feint attack. Meets the normal challenge as Feint is still melee despite acting like Ranged some of the time.
A Roc that meets both challenges with a Path Ranged destroy. Not sure this will win though.

I would have submitted this for the third round, but I missed the time gap. It passes the plant challenge, and it's akin to a dryad minion. I excluded some teleport squares from the symmetry on purpose because they could not be used in PvP. You can imagine that they're there, though, but they would normally be useless.
Instead of a cheesy flytrap, it's the carnivorous plant boss from terraria! She's slow, but she can attack up close and from a distance. Beats both challenges. It took a bit of thought to be able to make her into a chess piece, and it felt cliche to make it a 25+ point piece.

The same type as tiger and snake, but it doesn't have to be unblockable. So I would say melee attack minions is most accurate.

Due to not wanting to extend the tourney too far I decided to combine the voting time with the following round times. So the tourney will end in September instead of October. I.e. Round 1 Voting will happen at the same time as Round 2 Posting.
