Exactly, hosing Reanimator isn't really a black thing considering that's one of black's best tricks is to reanimate something.
I think symmetry and random discard could be a fun part of red's color pie:
Firebug
Creature
Discard a card at random: Addto your mana pool. Any player may play this ability once per turn.
1/1
Confusion
Sorcery
Each player may search his or her deck for up to 3 cards and put them into his or her hand. Each player who searched his deck this way shuffles his or her deck, and discards 2 cards at random.
3 cards I would love to see (for so many decks)
Cephalid Spirit Guide -
Creature - Cephalid Spirit
Exile Cephalid Spirit Guide from your hand: Addto your mana pool.
2/2
Soltari Spirit Guide -
Creature - Human Spirit
Exile Soltari Spirit Guide from your hand: Addto your mana pool.
2/2
Darkscourger -
Echo 3(At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)
When Darkgscourger comes into play, you may return target nonland permanent an opponent controls to its owner’s hand. If you do, pay 2 life.
2/1
... yea i know ....
It wouldn't just hose Reanimator. Show and Tell, Natural Order, Dread Return, AEther Vial, the list goes on. Killing creatures for free seems very black, especially when the creature entered play for very little effort. The card itself also isn't infallible either. Show and Tell dropping Darksteel Colossus, for example, is just one way around this card.
This could be cool to have:
BBB
Sorcery
Choose a permanent an opponent controls. That player may pay 2 life. If that player does, repeat this process for another permanent that player controls that has not previously been chosen. If that player does not pay life after you choose a permanent, that player then sacrifices the chosen permanent.
Here is what I would love to be printed for black removal.
Painful Choice BBB (Sorcery)
Target Player separates their permanents into two plies. You choice one pile, that player must sacrifice each permanent in the pile. You lose one life for each sacrificed permanent in this manner.
Some choices are difficult, others are deadly.
Its basically Pox meets Fact or Fiction.
I'd like to see some new burn:
New Bolt
1R
Instant
New Bolt deals 4 damage to target creature or player.
And because so few players play ANT now, and many of those who do rely on a very scarce P3K rare, I'd like to see the following (although a reprint of Grim Tutor would also serve the same purpose):
Dark Tutor
1BB
Sorcery
Search your deck for a card, and reveal that card to all players. Put that card into your hand. Lose life equal to the converted mana cost of that card.
What scarce 3 kingdoms rare are you talking about lordofthepit? I play tendrils and use no portal 3 cards so I was at a loss. Imperial seal is the only one I can think of and that one is sadly banned in Legacy.
Grim Tutor. It's not P3K.
BBB
Enchantment
Whenever a nontoken creature comes into play, if it wasn't cast, destroy it.
Fixed.
Forget about monoblack permanent removal, it'll never happen. I've resigned that.
B
Instant/Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast, sacrifice an artifact.
Add BBB to your mana pool.
Again, it doesn't feel black. Why not just give Black a really solid removal spell. For BBB you could get something like.
Sorcery
Name a creature card. Players sacrifice all cards with that name.
That kills Emrakul, Progenitus, Marit Lage, swarms of tokens and nearly everything else. It is also balanced.
Your ritual would make ANT (and other Tendrils decks) far too strong. Dark ritual 5-8 is too strong. Using it on a tapped Mox would be amazing.
This is for everyone. I know I am even guilty of this as well, but if you are gonna post cards you want printed, please specify what deck you are thinking of them for. It really puts it into context.
