So, here's Carnophage/Sarcomancy/Vampire Lacerator for the modern times. The drawback will probably be very live, but it's still another 2/1 for B. Is it still an include? Does it replace any existing Black 1-Drop? What are your thoughts?
This isn't any better than the current 1 drops, but it's definitely playable. Not sure if I have room for him at 540, although I could cut Blood-Chin Rager for him.
The downside to this is much harder to mitigate than the self-inflicted harm my black aggro players are already taking from Carnophage and Sarcomancy. I'm still trying to find room for Vampire Lacerator, which I like better than this, so that makes it the 9th best black 1-drop (not including Rakdos Cackler). I definitely don't need this at 465.

I think this is for 720 cubes but it looks likes wizards will keep printing these as they power down standard so we can look forward to better ones in the future.
I wish this were a 2/2, like the other lifeloss 1-drops (Carnophage, Sarcomancy, Vampire Lacerator). Still, at 600 cards, I could use an 8th (mono)black 1-drop, so I am most likely going to include this, even though it is a bit subpar.
This is at or near the bottom of black's 2-power 1-drops in terms of quality, but I still need 1 more for my 540 card cube. I'll be including it, but it won't replace an existing aggro beater if you're satisfied with the numbers you have now.
