Alright. Only a few slots left... specifically a rare mono-land cycle I'm working on. First card is Ur-Golem's Eye. Second card is... Swamp? Are you trying to make my card for me Gatherer?

I like this idea. My only problem with it is the anti-sacrifice cost. {3} makes it worse than Ur-Golem's eye in some ways (including this land, it feels like you tapped four mana to get BB.) {2} seems suspiciously too good. Like this is a trick or something. I mean, an artifact that added BB for {3} would be too good, so that can't be right.

Hmm...

Hmm.. maybe I'm thinking about that mana cost wrong. I'd be very happy to play an artifact that cost {3}, came into play tapped, and tapped to add BB...

Think of it as kind of like Temple of the False God for colored mana, and a turn sooner, but in exchange it makes you tap out on that turn and do nothing.

That is the card that keeps bumping around in my head. I changed the activation from {3} to {2}{b} to stop other colors from using it. I'd prefer playing this card in any control deck... better to reinforce this is for Black control.
