Lord of the Breeding Pit.

Nothing much needs to change here.

Template is a bit horrible, but the card is perfectly functional. Unusual for black to get a token maker; but this is a pretty weak one.

So yeah; no change.

fix up the template a bit. "Pay BlackBlack"... yeahno.

by Camruth:

I think this could reasonably updated to create 1/1 Thrull tokens a la Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder and Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII without it being considered over powered.
Alternately you could have it read: " {b} {b} : put a 1/1 black Thrull creature token onto the battlefield, activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery and only once each turn." though this would increase it's utility by a fair degree.
Or: At the beginning of your upkeep you may pay {b} {b} . If you do, create a ...... at the start of the next end step. If you don't, sacrifice ~.
Or: At the start of your end step you may pay {b} {b} and put a ....... If you don't, sacrifice ~. this would also change how the card works significantly though. (my pref is just update to make 1/1's)

by jmgariepy:

Double vote on the 1/1 Thrulls. Or two 0/1 Thrulls. Maybe two Thrulls would be better.

I'm not sure what other changes might be done, but I'd advocate for keeping the costs somehow. I'm tempted argue that a 'Breeding Pit' should be a black artifact with an activation of ' {b} {b} , {t} :'. Or a Fortification?

...maybe it's best to ignore me.

by Camruth:

I agree that it should probably be updated to make 1/1 Thrulls

Make it make thrulls, and make it do it via tokens so that proliferate interacts with it. Which also makes it a "Wind up and then let it die" and no long works with the lord of the pit, and... yeah probably gonna change this back.
