But super cool idea. I'd nominate it for CotW if that was here.
Tear Out the Still-Beating Heart Sorcery
Destroy target non-artifact creature. Put onto the battlefield a black artifact token with "Sacrifice this artifact: Target creature card in your graveyard gains unearth until end of turn. Its unearth cost is equal to its mana cost."
When balancing it against Sign In Blood I can see why the selection of B instead of BB since many times losing 2 life would be better than your opponent controlling you. Maybe if you added a "You can't play spells this turn." or something to try to offset just drawing tons of cards, doing something powerful and then not caring if your opponent got to control you next turn, assuming they are still alive, which would be unlikely except in the most desperate of cases.
Tear out the Still-Beating Heart is also a very cool card. This is going to be very difficult to follow.
