Greetings all!
Here are the black rares and mythics from the second set of my custom block.
Atapos the Forsaken3BB
Legendary Creature — Demon (R)
Flying, deathtouch
Whenever an opponent attacks with two or more creatures, that player loses life equal to the number of creatures he or she controls unless he or she sacrifices a creature.
3/4
Cyunia, Voidripper2B
Legendary Creature — Human Wizard (M) XBB, : Exile X cards from target player’s graveyard. That player loses 1 life for each card exiled this way.
2/3
Damning Specter1BB
Creature — Specter (R)
Flying
Whenever Damning Specter deals damage to a player, that player discards a card.
Threshold — Damning Specter gets +1/+1 for each card less than three in an opponent’s hand as long as you have seven or more cards in your graveyard.
2/2
Deranged Necromancer2BB
Creature — Human Wizard (R)
Madness 4BB
When Deranged Necromancer enters the battlefield, if its madness cost was paid, put two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Whenever you cast another spell for madness, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.
3/3
Overwhelming Hysteria1B
Enchantment (R)
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may discard a card. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It gains menace until end of turn.
Vicious ThirstXB
Sorcery (R)
Destroy target creature with power X or less.
That creature’s controller loses life equal to its power.
Atapos - Feels all right, could probably be a 4/4.
Cyunia doesn't feel particularly mythic. It's slow and the ability is underwhelming.
Damning Specter - I found the wording on the threshold bonus confusing, particularly the less than three part. Although this is rare, so you can get away with the complexity. Just something to consider.
Deranged Necromancer - Neat use of madness, probably my favorite among these.
Overwhelming Hysteria - Solid and simple.
Vicious Thirst - Could this be an instant? Love it either way though.
Cyunia -- Do you think it should just be lower cost for the ability, such as 1B, or B and have a repeatable Bojuka Bog effect? I might add another effect to this just to spice it up a bit. I'm just not sure what just yet. Any suggestions are welcome. I might use my custom keyword Rift with her. Rift [cost] (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay [cost] and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.), it seems like it would fit her given her name.
Damning Specter -- I know the wording is a bit odd, but I tried using wording similar to The Rack and Rackling, but instead of damage it gives +1/+1 to the creature.
