Another great old idea:

3U
Tribal Instant - Faerie (U)
Draw 3 cards then discard a card from your hand.
Put a 1/1 blue flying faerie creTure token into play.

Another card for green's "Every part of the buffalo" approach to card advantage:

Sage of Abundance {2}{G}
If you would draw a card, you may instead choose land or nonland and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind. Put that card into your hand and put all other cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order.
3/3

i did these a while back for a cube i'm working on atm

Spectral Tome {2}{W}
Artifact — Tome
Whenever Spectral Tome enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from your graveyard, put a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield.

Arcane Tome {2}{U}
Artifact — Tome
Whenever Arcane Tome enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from a graveyard, draw a card.

Gravedigger’s Tome {2}{B}
Artifact — Tome
Whenever Gravedigger’s Tome enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from a graveyard, you may return target creature card from a graveyard to its owner’s hand.

Infernal Tome {2}{R}
Artifact — Tome
Whenever Infernal Tome enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from a graveyard, it deals 2 damage to target creature or player.

Living Tome {2}{G}
Artifact — Tome
Whenever Living Tome enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from a graveyard, you may put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.

Tome of Aggression {1}{R}{G}
Artifact — Tome
Creatures you control have haste.
Whenever Tome of Aggression enters the battlefield or you cast a spell from a graveyard, target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

I like that you get the effect upfront, that makes them a little bit less poisonous. I would run the red and green one with only two other cards that could trigger it. I think I'ld rather have a 2/2 zombie than a Raise Dead though :)

Excellent point on the name by the way, I forgot about the curses (and I even run two in my cube, though neither is from Innistrad block).

Anotak was on about wraths on creatures and it got me to thinking. Remember these are rough drafts and might not be how I'd want to see them printed everywhere or at cube-level.

Celestial Purifier {4}{W}{W}
Creature - Angel
Flying, vigilance
When Celestial Purifier enters the battlefield destroy all other creatures.
3/3

Damning Demon {3}{B}{B}
Creature - Demon
Trample
When Damning Demon enters the battlefield you may pay 5 life, if you do not, destroy all creatures they cannot be regenerated.
5/5
 
Onderzeeboot

Onderzeeboot

Ecstatic Orb
Damning Demon {3}{B}{B}
Creature - Demon
Flying
When ~ enters the battlefield you lose 4 life and creatures get -4/-4 until end of turn.
5/5

Maybe like this? Or is that too good?
 
Lucre

Lucre

hmmm that isn't half bad Onderzeeboot. It's just not the dynamic I was going for / stumbled upon.

Anyone else have any sweet ideas for wrath creatures or black multiple card removal?
 
Onderzeeboot

Ah, I see what you were going for now. Try this wording:

Damning Demon {3}{B}{B}
Creature - Demon
Trample
When Damning Demon enters the battlefield, destroy all creatures unless you pay 5 life. Creatures destroyed this way can't be regenerated.
5/5

Or, for a vaguely related idea:

Fell Sweep {X}{B}
Instant
Spend only black mana to play Fell Sweep.
X target creatures get -X/-X until end of turn.
 
Lucre

Lucre

I think sweep might be a little too narrow to see any play. Reminds me of trying to play cards like dead ringers in limited.
I think you get it with the demon though. Maybe my phrasing is stuck in the stone age. Was it unclear?

Reminds me of this thing I thought about while waiting for a bus, I feel like it could use some work too:

Unfortunate Accidents {X}{2}{B}
Sorcery
X target creatures get -4/-4 until end of turn.


This is a draft bomb I design from time to time, and I think it would be fine in most cubes that play wildfire, or have a lot of 4 point removal.

Hilltop Artillery {3}{R}{R}
Creature - Giant
When CARD enters the battlefield it deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
3/5

I think your templating on the demon was a bit off when compared to WotC templating, but not necessarily unclear, I merely didn't catch the intended choice at first glance. :)

I like Unfortunate Accidents and Hilltop Artillery. Both seem to be firmly in the very playable but not broken camp!

Embezzle {1}{B}
Instant
Look at target player’s hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player reveals the chosen card, puts it on the bottom of his or her library, then draws a card.
Flashback {1}{U}{U} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)
 
Onderzeeboot

Ecstatic Orb
Yes, a hundred times yes. Why not make the flashback {2}{U} though?

On second thought it feels a bit do-nothing, why not make it a cantrip?

Most of why this effect is amazing on Clique is because of the already playable body. As it is we're spending 5 mana to (slightly?) lower the opponents overall card quality.
 
anotak

well its self filtering too.
hmm
maybe its too expensive
i'll have to playtest some because i dont think a card quite like this exists

I still say make it cantrip and see if the world blows up. Since Think Twice is playable but nowhere near the best card draw spell, and your card is in two colors, I think it's going to play just fine. Might be interesting to shuffle something back into your library from time to time even!

I feel like that ability is half of a spell effect, where the other half is 'that player loses 2 life', or it costing {B/P}{B} or being a {B/P}{B/P}{B} edict plus that or something dumb, rather than being a flashback spell.
 
Lucre

Oh I designed a card just for anotak

Faerie Scavenger {2}{U}
Creature - Faerie Rogue
Flying
When Faerie Scavenger enters the battlefield draw a card.
Delve
1/1

Initially it had flash but that seems insane now.
 
anotak

thanks i can probably fit that in, it might be a little strong/weak as is though, i'll have to test. delve is a really hard mechanic to hit the sweetspot i'm finding

If you have a fetch in the yard this comes down as a flying Elvish Visionary. I wouldn't call it insane (as Lucas did) because there's only so much value you get out of a 1/1 flying body, regardless of cost. And unless you run stuff like Gitaxian Probe there's really no way it's coming down on Turn 1 anyways, which still wouldn't be the end of the world.
