Maybe something like...

{B}{B}{2}

Enchant creature

When this aura comes into play, its owner gets a 2/2 black Imp creature token with death touch

During enchanted creatures controllers upkeep, that player sacrifices it unless they sacrifice a creature

I'm really surprised that black won this. I voted for red, but figured if anything was going to beat it, it would have been blue.

I'm not sure what I want at this point. Black does have potential when it comes to seriously powerful enchants.

A black aura could be very good. It could involve lots of power boosting, sacrifice for effects, lifelink, life drain, discard, life-pay-for-card-draw... Add a {rancor}/{Angelic Destiny} clause to any of those effects and you can have a really competitive card.

As for global enchants... I want something for EDH.

As for the aura, if that wins I want something like this:

Devotion to the Master {B}
Enchant creature you control
Sacrifice enchanted creature: Choose one- Draw a card or gain 3 life.
When ~ is put into a graveyard, return it to its owner's hand.

I don't know, I'm just really not feeling a black aura. 9/10 black cards that affect a creature (in a positive way, so excluding kill spells) are just some sort of power up with a drawback. I think we have more than enough of those. That's not to say they couldn't do something cool with it, but man, I'd be pretty disappointed to see another "power up your creature a lot, lose life during your upkeep" card.

thats negitive card advantage for sure and not at all appealing...unless maybe it powered up all creatures yu control by a significant amount...

Or maybe like a 3 cost {glorious anthem}. If it was the last one, and it lost life, that might be ok

For example, we already have {Clutch of Undeath}, {Crown of Suspicion}, {Dark Favor}, {Dark Provilege}, {Demonic Appetite}, etc etc for power ups. And the list goes on from there! I think black has that covered. And as far as global power ups, there's already {Death Pit Offering} and {Bad Moon}. All cards that power up, and usually with some sort of drawback. I just really want to see something more creative than "make your creature stronger, if you can deal with this drawback".

Just my opinion on things.

Birdbrain

What about the ones izik and I just posted?

If be okay with one of those, since at least you can have some combos/synergy with other cards. And I mean, {Grave Pact} only gets more fun with those suggestions! I'd still prefer a global enchantment to an aura though. Maybe I'm just too picky.

Birdbrain

I'd prefer a goral enchantment too. But if its an aura I hope it's either realy bizzare, or combo-y, or epic...or all three!

As of right now I think we need more reasonable tutors, maybe make it with tha ability
2{B}{B} : search for a card Shuffle your library and put that card on top
Or maybe add lifeloss to that if it becomes OP

An enchantment tutor would be very nice but if I'm paying life then it had better put the card to my hand.

Birdbrain

Actually. I want to see a green enchant creature with some wacky effect. I've never liked black anyway, even when I gave it a chance, and tried to look at it objectively

Wackaman9001

Paying life to tutor would make it more balanced. I don't know of any repeatable tutors right now, save for {increasing ambition}, and that works 2 times only

There's a bunch! The only problem is, most of them are specific tutors, like {Corpse Harvester} or {Ratcatcher}. Non-specific we have {Liliana Vess}, {Demonic Collusion}, {Rune-Scarred Demon}, and {Planar Portal}. Some of them require some strategy, but usually get the job done. I wouldn't mind a more reasonable repeatable tutor.

Enchantment with an activated ability to tutor? Sign me up!

Diabolic Calling {1}{B}{B}{B}
Enchantment

Black spells you control can't be countered.

{2}{B}{B}: Search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
