I haven't played a black deck in ages, but it seems to be time. This card plus rise from the grave, and memoricide among others should be good times. It just seems built for squadron hawks too.. like oh you got all 1 squadron hawk out? I nuke the field, and I remove your other 3 squadron hawks while I'm at it. Also possibly best card ever for a surgical extraction follow up. Black once again has the best removal in the game between this, black sun zenith, grasp of darkness, and dismember. Nothing anyone can play between turns 1-5 will have a high enough toughness not to get sent to the graveyard whether it's indestructible, or can be regenerated. Maybe I will play green black white, with that new centaur shaman commander card, and also throw in a phyrexian rebirth for mass wrath madness.

I prefer Decree of Pain if I want powerful removal.
I prefer Damnation if I want efficient removal.
Why would I want this then? Even if I play a deck that likes to steal creatures from an opponents graveyard: I won't know what for a deck my opponent will play, and thus I won't know if my opponent has any good creatures in his deck. Or any creatures at all.
1/5
@ nemokara: Of course it's good in limited. So what? If it's only usable in limited, and I can throw it away after the event, then that's a good thing? For commander, you'd use Decree of Pain or Damnation, and not this. I like cards that a) I can play in my favorite formats (like Commander/EDH) or b) have a place in my decks for a long time. And this is neither.

This can easily backfire on EDH so hard. Many properly designed EDH decks use the graveyard in some way, and most will be able to recur creatures.

Probably my favorite thing to do with this card is follow it up with a Haunting Echoes. Use this and wipe the field, then search for one copy of each of their best stuff. Next turn, pop the Echoes and take most of the deck.
I love it when a plan comes together.
4/5.

I really like this card especially paired withTariel, Reckoner of Souls. Put three creatures in the grave that you can resurrect, good deal.
