so I'm redesigning a bunch of cards from the reserved list and essentially making new versions of them. Here is a modern take on an old favorite of mine, City of Shadows.
Crypt of Shadows
Land - Swamp T, sacrifice a creature: Put a Storage counter on Crypt of Shadows. B, T: add B to your mana pool for each Storage counter on Crypt of Shadows.
The idea was that City of Shadows was originally a powerful card, but we have seen lands that can easily make it look weak in comparison. Ideally, I've added a bit more restrictions onto it for it to act as more of a functional land in today's MtG meta.
Another interesting card is Gate to Phyrexia. I think this could specifically work well if it was adjusted a bit. Although black doesn't deal with artifacts, this might be appropriate.

- Please Note that the colorless mana symbols are supposed to be Black Phyrexian mana, I just couldn't figure out how to format it on here.
