I'm not usually one for redundancy, but I think "dies to murder" might just be my new favorite sentence in magic.

this card is beautiful in it's simplicity.
I'm glad to see that they're de-emphasizing the "non-black creature" destruction. From a flavor standpoint, most black mages wouldn't think twice about turning on their own kind.

While I wish it was more splashable, I actually think I prefer this kill spell to Doom Blade. The simplicity and elegance of this card just can't be put into question.

I love cards that have clean and elegant text boxes.
It indisputably kills things.

Finally!
This simplistic masterpiece of of black removal is what Magic players have been waiting for since at least a decade.
I bet a couple of players had even made up exactly this card in their minds already.

I just love that there's no flavor text, like it's just saying to the opponent "No, you don't get an explanation. I killed your creature and there's nothing you can do about it."

Would've been even better with flavor text... But great card for black, well deserved!!

Welp, here comes the people saying "It dies to murder." Don't get me wrong, I really like this card, but the fact is that people around here tend to think that unless something is a cheap darksteel that cannot be forcibly sacked that somehow it's a bad card. This might just be my impression, and I might be reading it wrong, but seriously, you can't say that a card is bad just because it can be removed by a card like this one. This is all part of playing magic, get used to it. Besides it's not like every deck is going to have this card in it.

Surprised that it took this long to come up with this idea... Of course, it also took almost as long to come up with a 2/2 black Zombie for 1B, so there you go.
Anyway, a perfect card and a standard to which other cards should be held in the future, IMHO.
Oh, I kind of like the lack of flavor text. It reminds me of the old days when very straightforeward cards had nothing but rules texts on them.
