Legendary Planeswalker - Vraska
Compleated ( can be paid with , or 2 life. If life was paid, this planeswalker enters with two fewer loyalty counters.)
[0]: You draw a card and you lose 1 life. Proliferate.
[-2]: Target creature becomes a Treasure artifact with " : Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color" and loses all other card types and abilities.
[-9]: If target player has fewer than nine poison counters, they get a number of poison counters equal to the difference.

Might be a little slow and midrange-y for most cubes, but it's a more splashable Ob Nixilis Reignited that can scale up if you have the extra mana and can work with counter synergies. Not a fit for our cube but this certainly deserves a thread. Seems a little lackluster compared to the competition imo and isn't really an effect I think most black decks are clamoring for.
If you want a black proliferate engine, there aren't many.
Otherwise not a significant upgrade to Ob Nixilis, Reignited. I've played that card plenty as one of the only budget black planeswalkers, and it's not doing anything special. This at least looks much more fun with its counters theme and modal cost.
