MTG Salvation

Cursed Gift :2mana::symb::symb: (U)
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
You control enchanted creature.
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature.

^this fits monoblack, right? It's creature theft at a very heavy cost. Or it's a slow way of killing creatures (even indestructibles).
I've been playing around with the name, too. Maybe something vampiric? Vampiric Gift? Vampiric Curse? It's sort of a gift and a curse...

Reviving Presence :1mana::symg: (U)
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Flash
When Reviving Presence becomes attached to a creature, regenerate that creature.
Enchanted creature has ":symtap:: Regenerate target creature."

thoughts?

Cursed Gift is fine. I already know of Mark of the Oni,but i feel there was another card similar to yours in the Time Spiral block. If there wasn't, there should have been ;).

Reviving Presence is cool, no problems I can see.

A vampire version of Mark of the Oni would be good, but it would also give the feel of tribal becoming too strong again.

Thanks for the comments guy!

I didn't think about Mark of the Oni. Good point though, the effect works in black (moreso on my card than on the Mark, actually).

Making a Mark that looked for vampires makes a lot of sense actually, what with vampires having mind control and all.

Amugaba - Enslave might have been the card you were thinking of. I had forgot about it too but did a gatherer search and it came up. Enslave is more of a "mind control plus" while mine is "mind control minus" - or something like that.

Reviving Presence might be a little too overpowered for an uncommon. Maybe add a cost to regenerate? Regenerate already costs :1mana::symg:, and costs to regenerate... This one has the same cost, has instant speed, and only "tap regenerate" when regeneration already taps the regenerated creature. I would make it cost :2mana::symg: at least. Otherwise, it's a great concept.

You are forgetting that Regeneration is terrible, auras are terrible, and regeneration as a mechanic is terrible. I think it's fine.

This is what I was thinking about. Regeneration is just bad, and Regenerate was already obsolete when it was first printed.

Also, keep in mind that the tap activation cost requires the creature to be untapped, which typical regeneration does not.

i think Reviving Presence is great. Love how it work
