This can kill a black creature. Doom blade cannot. This can kill an artifact creature. Go for the throat can not.
only a 2.5 out of 5 because of that.

First:
AXER - Doom Blade does not obsolete Terror for the simple fact that Terror doesn't allow regen. Artifact creatures can be a pain, but in my playgroup, regen is much more prevalent than dangerous artifact creatures. They do do similar things, but I would forever take Terror over Doom Blade any day. Plus, Terror is better named and has better art overall 
Second: This is the third option of the black mage, it's essentially the same thing, but not. A very big difference here is that the creature is sacrificed, not destroyed. This gets around all that stupid indestructible crap that's out now. It also gets around the normal restriction of targeting that black has, meaning it can hit black or artifact creatures along with everything else. The only real downside that this has is two fold - it's delayed long enough that they... (see all)

It's good removal if you're using Mortician Beetle.

Works good with Roo***er Shaman I guess. Or with Vedalken Orrery if you don't want to splash blue.

B/W control with Sun Titan might be fun with this. This is one of those cards I really like, but I just can't use it in good conscience in most decks.

Gets around black and artifact creatures, and indestructible creatures?
Yeah, it's absolute trash compared to Terror, Terror is so unequivocally better than it.

I like it. Cheapest way I've seen so far to induce targeted sacrificing.
More of this at instant speed would the best thing.
