I feel this is probably best comparable to Sulfuric Vortex. The damage will likely be symmetrical most of the time, but the deck playing this will always be ahead on the damage race. My initial impression was that the card is really clunky and an attempt at a more aggressive Lord of the Pit variant, but the more I think about it, the more I feel the card is mechanically sound. I don't really care for the name, but overall a solid card.

Hellhole
Most of the time, I think this is just going to read "Whenever a creature dies, this deals 2 damage to each player." I understand this can also trigger when a creature card is milled, discarded, regrown, or reanimated, but I can't imagine that those four scenarios combined will be more common than a creature simply dying. It does have build-around potential, though.

GG Crono
Haunting Presence
This is probably my favorite design of the round. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite meet the round requirements as it has two black mana symbols in its cost. That aside, I feel the card is pretty well balanced as it is and the ability feels like a very black form of deck manipulation. I would definitely play this card, though I do feel that the effect may not need to be symmetrical. But I'm looking at the ability as more of an upside than a downside.

Raikou Rider
Abyssal Grasp
It's a simple design, nothing flashy, with adequate flavor. The complexity level is appropriate for common. This is obviously at its best in an aggro deck where you're happy either bleeding them every turn or removing their blocker, though it does get worse the later the game goes, as is the norm for punisher mechanics. I like it, not much more to say.

Doombringer
Masked Ghoul
So my first inclination is that this card is very underpowered. Bloodcrazed Hoplite, Nyxborn Eidolon, Child of Night and other recent creatures show that you can indeed have a 2/1 for 1B with an upside, even at common. As it stands, your card could very easily stay a vanilla 2/1 the entire time it is on the battlefield because it asks a great deal of you for it to be good, especially for an uncommon. Mechanically, this card wants your opponent to block it, but there are some problems with this--1) to have its ability trigger and the Masked Ghoul still survive, you'll almost always need a combat trick, putting you down a card, 2) this card doesn't apply enough pressure to make the opponent feel the need to block it, and 3) triggering upon being blocked gives your opponent complete control over how good your creature is. It can simply be ignored, in which case you have a Gray Ogre. Again, at uncommon. If I were to make suggestions for its current iteration, I would say this should at most cost 1B and could even potentially cost B, or its p/t should be adjusted to a 3/1. But even beyond that, I have doubts that this mechanic will actually play very well.
