Destroy target creature. It can’t be regenerated.
Well clearly your designs are pretty on point:

yeah i actually playtested that one some, seemed like a fair cost in that particular mostly custom cube environ
i also included logic knot and tombstalker

the whole (incomplete) cube is here for those who use magic set editor and want to see what my take on an environment with off-color activations, delve, dredge, blink, cycling, flashback, equipment and artifact (including colored artifact) themes looks like.
i have mostly very spikey players and delve is naturally a mechanic that really in particular appeals to spikes

When Veiled Assassin enters the battlefield, target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast Veiled Assassin.
Veiled Assassin's power and toughness are each equal to the number of exiled cards you own.

Kinda over eager (gimmick wise) and ambiguous in the wording, but who of us have not been guilty of that when excited about new space.
One thing I love about this is re doing classics like you have here. Some of my favorite cards have resulted from that (evoke stands out) a and I love the opportunity to re-evaluate it presents.
Delve has been the fucked up Mirrodin-Odyssey-Bold-Techy mechanic I've been waiting for ages. I'm just sad they almost certainly won't provide for it the way it deserves in a 5-stream format, but I'm glad it has cube designers and speculating minds thinking.
Now besides staple spells, can anyone think of: 1) fair versatile delve fuel 2) solid multicolour delve 3) delve cards that make you really want to cube them?

Tap Add 1 to your mana pool.
Tap, Add 3 to your mana pool. Use this mana only to play spells with X in their converted mana cost or to activate abilities with x in their activation cost.
Put this in the ULD for fun and profit

The Rosheen problem?
Chris Taylor

Ya! That problem you didn't know you had? Where Rosheen Meanderer sucks?
I think that, if anything, this is a case of other cards being too good.
When I played Eldrazi Domain last, I had Rosheen and Chandra, the Firebrand out and doubled a Red Sun's Zenith to the dude's dome for lethal.

Put a creature card at random from your graveyard onto the battlefield. You gain X life.

Creature with X or less?
Sorcery
Put a creature card at random from your graveyard onto the battlefield. You gain X life.
Delve
This is a weird card. The X is just a kicker. Putting it in the main cost would lead me to believe that the X affects the creature in some way, but it's just a lifegain spell stapled to a reanimation spell.
I like the interaction between "random" and Delve though.
Chris Taylor

I like the card other than the random lifegain
I mean it's really interesting if only in that this is a card you might actually exile more than you need to
Yeah, CT's on the mark here, the random and delve thing is really cool, but the lifegain is so disjointed from the rest of the card.
