The great war between countless orders of mages that almost killed the Worldsoul, ended one thousand years ago with a couple of edicts that prohibited the most powerful, devastating and reality-changing magic. But the lawbringers of the largest kingdom, where magic is more or less prominent, thanks to proximity to the Worldsoul, still have to deal with Echoes of Alliroch, including the weird creations of exiled and outlawed grandmasters and their attempts to lay their vengeance upon their old foes.

3/3
Jimmy Groove: I like that this guy epitomizes the "power at a cost" aspect in black. You get a huge hasty attacker but that sets you back by either lowering your life total to near-death or by forcing you to blow up enough creatures (including your own) to maintain a high enough life total. I like that you have options with this card: you can blow up the board in response to its last suspend trigger, or blow it and everything up in response to its ETB trigger. It's very flexible and not especially overpowered, even though the repeatable wrath threat for a few turns can be devastating in some formats.
LnGrrrR: I like that you follow Ghave's aspect of sacrificing things for counter manipulation, but a free sacrifice outlet for any permanent is a highly abusable thing and I think that pushes it a bit too far. There's also the confusing thing where you can put a +1/+1 counter on it whilst it's in exile but the counter doesn't actually do anything or stay on Ghave as it hits the battlefield. I feel like if you wanted to tweak that you'd end up more with a card like Bloodbriar not Ghave though.
IcariiFA: I love the idea of this angel being a rattlesnake whilst she's suspended, but I think she might have too many good keywords to be balanced. Let's remember that she'll enter with haste on your turn and you can pay life on your own terms to reduce the counters on her via something like Adanto Vanguard and that gives you a turn 2 Jazine with haste. I think swapping double strike for first strike already goes a long way towards making her more balanced for sure.
Algernone25: I think for the most part I'd rather just have Diabolic Tutor. The fact that you can tutor up on cast is nice and that you don't have to pay mana on that turn is also solid, four mana just to exile this is pretty steep. A Demonic Tutor callback at 1B would still be acceptable I feel, considering you then get your tutor by turn 5 at the earliest.
void_nothing: The flavor here is pretty neat, and the pairing of this card being from Rath and the Ancient Tomb callback is a nice touch, but this guy is pretty wordy and I think there are ways to abuse this a bit especially with the counter removal aspect.
Hemlock: Cascade is a really neat mechanic to pair with Suspend, and yet I think a 3 cmc cascade feels like it wouldn't offer enough to be super exploitable. Very nice design and I like the idea that it's repeatable. Not sure how Selesnya this feels though.

LnGrrrR: I like that you follow Ghave's aspect of sacrificing things for counter manipulation, but a free sacrifice outlet for any permanent is a highly abusable thing and I think that pushes it a bit too far. There's also the confusing thing where you can put a +1/+1 counter on it whilst it's in exile but the counter doesn't actually do anything or stay on Ghave as it hits the battlefield. I feel like if you wanted to tweak that you'd end up more with a card like Bloodbriar not Ghave though.
IcariiFA: I love the idea of this angel being a rattlesnake whilst she's suspended, but I think she might have too many good keywords to be balanced. Let's remember that she'll enter with haste on your turn and you can pay life on your own terms to reduce the counters on her via something like Adanto Vanguard and that gives you a turn 2 Jazine with haste. I think swapping double strike for first strike already goes a long way towards making her more balanced for sure.
Algernone25: I think for the most part I'd rather just have Diabolic Tutor. The fact that you can tutor up on cast is nice and that you don't have to pay mana on that turn is also solid, four mana just to exile this is pretty steep. A Demonic Tutor callback at 1B would still be acceptable I feel, considering you then get your tutor by turn 5 at the earliest.
void_nothing: The flavor here is pretty neat, and the pairing of this card being from Rath and the Ancient Tomb callback is a nice touch, but this guy is pretty wordy and I think there are ways to abuse this a bit especially with the counter removal aspect.
Hemlock: Cascade is a really neat mechanic to pair with Suspend, and yet I think a 3 cmc cascade feels like it wouldn't offer enough to be super exploitable. Very nice design and I like the idea that it's repeatable. Not sure how Selesnya this feels though.
