additionally, as this is a circuit challenge:

Are old cards allowed, or only new?
Well I had to find a card with gaining life. It isn't really breaking as such but bending.
It is still uncommon for black cards not involved with Orshov to gain life.
It has to specifically gain life.
Using my newly created "Bolas-Mechanic" Scheming:
(If you drew two cards or more this turn, [EFFECT].)
Are old cards allowed, or only new?
I believe the nuance here isn't so much doing something that black already does, but doing it in a way that black might not do.
If targeting yourself: pair my design with Defiant Bloodlord, or Lich, or Sanguine Bond.
If targeting the opponent: combo with Erebos, Sanguine Bond, Exquisite Blood, False Curse, or Tainted Remedy.
Entry one.
The issue there is that it specifically has to make "you" gain life...
@Jyagaimasu, as MrRansom has asked previously, can old cards be submitted?
The rules clearly say "create a MONO Black card which gains life. That is you that is gaining the life, not your opponent." It doesn't say "create a MONO Black card that makes you gain life." My card allows you to gain life, it just doesn't force you to do it. And yes, it allows an opponent to gain life, but it doesn't force that either. I guess we'll have to wait and see if my design gets disqualified. XD
Absolutely correct, I just assumed that @Jyagaimasu meant that the card must in some way always gain "you" life and not be optional (as it say's "not your opponent"). I don't make the call here, just pointing it out XD
Abilities or spells that result in destroying a creature (combat damage and similar doesn't do this directly and so wouldn't trigger) gain you a couple life! Very black IMO and "assassin-y"! It's also quite original as there are currently no existing official MTG cards with this same trigger. Bonus, the formatting looks beautiful!
Entry two.
You caught me during my sleeping hours (There was 10 of them)
Firstly, only new cards.
Secondly, Yes, even though many black cards make you gain life, the challenge is to make a card that does it in a non-black way.
Thirdly, @MrRansom's card is totally fine to be entered, it makes you gain life; not permanently, but it does.
