There are no comments yet for this card.
I kind of wish they hadn't printed this card back in Planeshift. It is basically the main reason that on the comments page for any creature there are about a hundred idiots going "IT DIES TO REMOVAL". Obviously there was tons of removal before, but it was balanced. In the old days the only spot removal options were black, white, and red burn. Each had its own drawback: black couldn't deal with black creatures, white was either situational like Exile or helped your opponent like Swords to Plowshares, and red of course couldn't deal with huge creatures or regenerators. Creatures would actually stay out for more than one turn and maybe even get an attack or two in. Imagine that. And if you had a black creature with protection from white like Ihsan's Shade, you were basically set. Nowadays nearly every color combination has unconditional or almost unconditional removal, and too many games just turn into a back-and-forth of cast... (see all)

4 times auto-include in any black-red deck.

No matter who it is, what it is, or where it is, that is going to hurt.

As good as targeted removal gets. And the name is just bone-chilling.

It sometimes feels like there are certain points in Magic where Wizards just decide they're going to fundamentally alter the paradigm of a certain card type. For example, they shook up the vanilla two-drop with Watchwolf and pushed "destroy with no regen" to a totally new level with this little beauty.

One of the cheapest and most effective creature removal spells in the game, 4 goes into any b/r deck. 5/5.

Best removal ever printed ever since ever. The mana cost isn't even weird! It's very common ally colored.
