In these tests, there were a few instants and sorceries that just had "Descend into the underworld" as a piece of text in addition to the typical instant or sorcery thing the card does, e.g. Conjure Hellfire and Invoke Heretical Truths.
Drawbacks that make a card dead in your hand as a default are too much. In general you want the thing you are working towards feel more like a reward.
Heretical Text Fanatic also doesn't make it feel like descending into the underworld was all that easy, especially not repeatable.
It's like coven except less focused and more specific.
When the graveyard plays a bigger role in the set, I'd argue the -2 is green.
The -6 bends because it can get certain creatures, but is as likely to get artifacts or lands, the latter definitely being green, the artifacts... probably red. The "mana ability" niche is something I haven't seen before, but if I had to give it to a single color, I'd pick green."
The first ability is pretty green (Riftsweeper), but the rest feels black
"you own" removed from first ability to let you hose flicker effects. A definite break, ngl.

destroy target creature with a drawback that's only set-relevant is likely to strong to exist in a standard format. I added the mana value 4 or less clause as kind of a placeholder. The key features of the intention are "destroy target creature" and "Descend into the Underworld" on a two-drop removal spell.
