Creature - Horror
Flying
When NAME enters the battlefield choose one:
1/1
- Draw a card and lose 1 life.
- Name deals 1 damage to target player and you gain 1 life?
Ugh I'm an idiot it's supposed to cost
General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

Probably fine then, though the second mode is still a little weak. First is pretty good? Probably not as good as Phyrexian Rager, though.
I need art for this. Name can change to fit if need be:
Low Sweep -
Low Sweep deals 2 damage divided as you choose among one or two target creatures and/or players.
Creatures dealt damage this way can’t block this turn.
Not my design but I want to try it.

Baby Gristle is indeed insane. He would liklely benifit from being decoupled from the origional so he can be his own guy.
Really what I want is a 4cc lifelink creature that draws cards somehow. That's a tough sell I know, since it looks really hard to draw the line between insatiable harpy and baneslayer angel.
Maybe this instead?

: Pay 1 life: Draw a card. Play this ability only once per turn

Black Thieving Magpie coming to the rescue!
Murderous Magpie
Creature - Zombie Bird
Flying, lifelink
At the beginning of your upkeep, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.
1/3
Other magpies collect jewels for their nests. Murderous magpies collect gleaming eyeballs for theirs.
This would probably be a really, really decent uncommon, but it might be too low-powered for your liking. Add power and toughness to season, though I really like the throwback and the match between 1 lifeloss and base 1-power lifelink

So cute
Problem is it basically doesn't have lifelink, and actually has you 1 down from where you started unless it gains haste or someone attacks. I'm looking for something to soften bob's drawback, not make it worse!

How is that a problem though, considering Phyrexian Arena. A guaranteed 1 extra card per turn is worth 1 life, and this is a potential 1 extra card per turn at no life (provided you're above 1 life and you can attack with it)! How is that not better than Bob? (Ok, it's four mana, that's how it's not better than Bob!) Throw a Bonesplitter on it and you're gaining life

Not saying it's a bad card, it's just different than what I intended!
Phyrexian arena is a fine card, as is yours, but if you really need doom blade and draw phyrexian arena, it's not going to help you much XD

Creature - Demon Beast
Lifelink
Pay 3 life, exile two cards from your hand: Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand. Then shuffle your library. Activate this ability only during your end step.
3/3
Bob's drawback is worse. Bob in limited will make you lose a fist full of life for a single card outta nowhere sometimes. You ever play Gargadon and bob in the same deck? Its also like entirely common for my aggro decks that top out at 4 to have an average CMC of about 60/40.
These cards keep getting more and more contrived. Please no life gaining necropotence men that cost less than 5. You can find better ways to make a BALANCED card drawing bomb in black.

Agreed.

Skip your draw step.
Sacrifice a creature, pay 2 life: Draw 2 cards.
3/1
Maybe make that non-token creature and necroperson?

I think Murderous Magpie is perfectly fine, and Silver Bulette was more of a joke, but probably still okay-ish, though tutoring each turn is really, really strong, even at that cost I suspect. I fail to see how both are close to Necropotence in function though. It's not like you can fill your hand with either of them.
Eerie Outsider is a nice card though. I love modal spells, and this is a nice way to make a "spell" creature. Kind of reminds me of evoke, or... Wait. It's the channel mechanic from Kamigawa block!
Hm. I mean it's essentially a 2/2 that can't block except it can because brainstorm makes it insane?

So it's a blue pseudo savanna lion? Tbh I think I like it. It's a nice way to give blue some aggression maybe?

It's probably a better bet than Phantasmal Bear

Choose two:
Sorcery
Choose two:
- Destroy all artifacts.
- Put a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flying onto the battlefield.
- Deal 3 damage to each creature.
- Creatures you control have +2/+0, haste, and trample until end of turn.
Very neat, I like it.

5 damage to target player was my first choice for mode 4, actually. Then I decided I prefer an Anthem effect for any creatures you have lying around that haven't been able to punch through some damage. And conveniently, that means we've got a 7/5 trampler on the field now... which has a very good chance of being able to do some dome damage just like a burn mode would.
Just because WotC hasn't printed a five-mode card doesn't mean we can't, but each mode added will multiplicatively contribute to time spent weighing one's options.
