This one is obviously for you folks that allow custom erratas/don't mind playing Magic under the table.
I tossed this into my unpowered 360 after hearing everyone's horror stories about mono-black aggro, and I'm curious whether anyone else thinks it has legs. We've only drafted twice, and the one time it was cast it led to a hilarious mill victory in Rakdos using Wheel of Fortune, proceed to tutor up some lategame for the win. I would probably side it out against anyone playing red, though.
If you don't mind them I'm a big proponent of Enter the Dungeon and Shahrazad as tools for aggro. Shahrazad isn't quite as good because it takes so long but they're both great for aggro decks.
i haven't played it, but on paper it looks fantastic for aggro. the fact that the subgame starts at 5 life tailors this to aggressive decks more than shahrazad, which i don't like because it's such a toss-up. sharazad isn't going to win you a game with a bad matchup because you'll still have a bad match-up in the subgame, but enter the dungeon's subgame is automatically in the favor of the aggro player. the effect is less aggressive, but a double demonic tutor is too good to pass up in any deck.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
The one time I played this, I lost to my opponent who played Side to Side while I was in an awkward position that didn't favor me =P
Un-games aside, qq said everything that needs to be said for the card. A properly built aggressive deck should be able to use it as a super tutor effect reliably.

I only really allow for 1 of each color Un-cards in my 720 ( and 2 gold, 2 artifact, 1 land)... I really like Booster Tutor more as the black un-card, as for silly fun games you have a few packs of horrible sets lying around. (Right now I've a half-box of Saviors of Kamigawa for this purpose). If people aren't feeling as whimsical, you just make another "Cube" booster- (granted, a smaller cube may not be able to do that.)
Enter the Dungeon really is a fun card, but just like with making hard cuts in the multicolor sections, I don't think it'd crack a Un-section unless you're adding more than 1 in a color.
I run this card in my Un-cube and one night, the girl who ran it in her maindeck used it once or twice every game (good thing we had a tall table). It's a blast to play when you're with a fun playgroup, and made for some memorable plays. My favourite was when she ritual'd into a Abyssal Persecutor while under the table, and threatened a STP on Percy to take the "game".
Do people actually make you play under the table for those that run this? I think I passed on this card because it requires too much work to do what the card actually says (plus I cube at dennys and such a lot and that's just poorly lit, and gross :p). All my other uncards do exactly what they say without need of errata and the under the table thing sort of ruins it for me, more so than using a cube booster for booster tutor (more legit now that there are cube boosters on magic online).
