The new and hopefully improved Callous Commander.

Because I love demons and alternative casting costs. :P

Should it have you lose more life? Is it fair as is? I don't think it's broken with the commander format as you have more players dealing more damage, some probably playing mill or burn. Also, you can only have one, but doubles wouldn't really be useful anyway.

Flavor wise, it represents a wizard slowly losing his mind as the price of such immortality.

Wacky! "If you would gain or lose life". I've never seen that done before. Cool!

Has the slight problem that it does function something like a Phyrexian Arena that gains you 20-30 life when it ETBs (or 60-80 in Commander). It's somewhat of a pity, because the concept and rules text is fantastic.

This needs to be an upkeep trigger. It also should be rare, not common. (Or it could be an activated ability like Reassembling Skeleton, I guess, and be uncommon.)

I'm reminded of the massive irritation the old "If two creatures are above this in the graveyard" guy who would just never ever stay dead.

Still, he's probably fair. Just really freaking irritating until I can really freaking exile him from the game forever :)

Oh. I lied. Furious Assault requires casting. Pandemonium requires having power. Angelic Chorus requires having toughness. Essense Warden requires keeping the warden in play. I don't think there's a way to auto-win or virtual auto-win with NoSB. Guess we got to use Nantuko Husk...

Current wording + Night of Souls' Betrayal + Furious Assault = Winning.

Start of Upkeep is the most usual timing for such an effect.

And yet, it kinda makes more sense here than in Black as Blue has a history of small unblockable creatures.

When? Any time?

Very pleasing :) A bit weird to need to play power-pumping effects with your uber-looter, but it'd be odd for blue to do much else... I could perhaps see "gets -4/-0" (or "gets -8/-0"), but this is more exciting.

No problem. It's easier if you use ~ or CARDNAME.
