This is both good for and against monoblack devotion... and hilarious in the mirror match!

Even if they don't have tokens, it's getting close to Grasp of Darkness, reaching Last Gasp levels of decent removal.
Highly usable, especially in Mono-Black Devotion.

It's good instant speed removal that has the potential to kill token swarms. It's also not picky about what it can kill as opposed to doom blade. If you're running heavy black like devotion this is your best early removal spell you have access to, although it becomes more of a combat trick later into a game.

Despite this, Pack Rat will still see play. Mono-black mirrors are determined by Pack Rats at least half of the time, Bile Blight isn't going to make mono-black players give up such a good card in the mirror.

The obvious comparison here is to Echoing Decay. Blight just hits for more, but Decay can be cost easier and most token hordes are 1/1's anyway.
