@AvatarofBro I would be inclined to disagree with you.

A. Rend Flesh is more splashable with its 2Black (cf Victim of Night's BlackBlack);
B. Rend Flesh targets 52 more cards (which I do consider a nigh-negligible amount);
C. Rend Flesh has the additional subtype "Arcane", which allows for things like "Splice onto Arcane" should you choose to build an arcane/spiritcraft/etc. deck (opening doors to great synergy such as Hana Kami-Soulless Revival-Rend Flesh).

Yes, Victim of Night costs 1 less to cast and that usually does make all the difference (case in point: Doom Blade vs. Dark Banishing), but Black so happens to have Dark Ritual (and by extension, Culling of the Weak), which allows you to cast Rend Flesh for just 1 CMC anyway.

And yes, you could counter that argument by saying "well, Culling the Weak would allow ... (see all)

@TexasDice

Except for a few things.
1. At least some zombies, vampires, and werewolves are not black, meaning doom blade and this spell have different targets. True, more are targetable by this than by doom blade, but it's still not strictly better.
2. The mana cost is important. {B}{B} is less splashable than {1}{B} even if it doesn't necessarily seem that way.

Still, interesting card.

Tidehollow Sculler laughs in the face of your puny removal tactics.

Reminder Text: If you accidentally target a rich boy's parents with this, starting 10 years from now, you lose every game for the rest of EVER.

The thing that goes bump in the night can now be bumped off in the night. Oh, the irony.

Because even demons and horrors can become victims of night.

I want to see someone use this on an Elite Inquisitor.

Why?

Because irony is hilarious.

What do you know, removal that's stronger in constructed than it is in limited.
