Prejudicial Purge
BB
Instant
Choose a card type. Remove all cards of the chosen type from target player's graveyard. (The card types are: instant, sorcery, land, artifact, enchantment, creature.)
This is probably worse than Rapid Decay or Decompose in most cases. I costed it at double black because; a) Graveyard kill is very black; and b) I didn't want it to be strictly better that (gasp!) Mudhole, of all things. Mudhole is awful, yes, and is perhaps on the Bottom Ten Magic Cards of All Time List, but something in me wanted to give it respect. Is that logic sound?
Also, I don't like the name, as it sounds like some sort of genocide, but that's not my forte.
Prejudicial Cryptkeeper
2B
Creature -- Cleric
B, Sacrifice Prejudicial Cryptkeeper: Choose a card type. Remove from the game all cards of the chosen type from target player's graveyard. (The card types are: instant, sorcery, land, artifact, enchantment, creature.)
2/2

Mudhole is already strictly worse than a ton of other cards. This would be fine at 1B.
I also have reservations about the name.

Make it like 2B and cantrip or something so we don't have to make it rare (dead too often in limited).

I second Matt's suggestion.
You could call it 'Excision', or possibly 'Tomb Excision' or something.

I agree that it is a bit narrow, so I mixed it up a bit. As much as I like cantrips, they're sort of bland, so I tried to think of something else to use. I was strongly considering a block mechanic like Flashback, Buyback, or Cycling, but I don't really like doing those in this forum.
So, is this okay? Are the numbers about right, and is this an uncommon?

There aren't many 1/2's for 2B to compare it to, but I guess it's balanced. It doesn't replace itself, it has a color specific activation cost, it dies....
Fair enough for an unc (or possibly even common).

Equipment is an artifact subtype.

Go ahead and make it a 2/2, cause right now it's like Chimney Imp strength.

Done. Is this okay now? Does anyone think it would be better as a cantrip, or using one of the aforementioned block mechanics?

24 Hour Clock. If someone can think of some flavor text, that'd be nifty.

With all the reminder text, I doubt this card should have flavor text. The cardname establishes the flavor firmly already.

Maybe I've just been reading about campus politics too much, but "biased" doesn't sound like something a scary-ass Cryptkeeper would be.

Perhaps you have been, but biased is a pretty tame word. I do like that the name refers to the fact that he only GY hates a specific thing though. Synomyms (from Rogets) include:
One-sided Cryptkeeper, Partial Cryptkeeper, Partisan Cryptkeeper, Prejudiced Cryptkeeper, Prejudicial Cryptkeeper, Prepossessed Cyrptkeeper, Tendentious Cryptkeeper.
I think I'll just go back to the old "Prejudicial" it used back when it was an instant.
EDIT: Oh, yeah, also, do you think Cryptkeepers are clerics? I didn't really want to make this a Zombie because even though it's got the whole GY thing going, zombie cryptkeepers just don't sound right. It's like hiring criminals to be jailers.
