Just remember that an 
cost of 3 or more will kill the Bane as well, but it's worth it to clear a board. Deals with those pesky indestructibles too!

One appealing feature of this card is that it's a creature -- even if it dies to it's own ability, black has a multitude of ways to recur creatures. It's much easier for a mono-black deck to use this a second time than it can a Damnation or Mutilate.

Oh, did your legion of "indestructible" knights and your Knight Exemplar just disappear all of a sudden? My bad.

Obviously, if you pay more than 3 for X, you kill Bane of the Living, I think.
One way or another, this is an instant-speed Black Sun's Zenith without the shuffling effect and the -1/-1 counters.
Ok, fine. It's not really that similar to Black Sun's...

So the bane of the living is a giant centipede?

with that cost and counting you lose your next land drop he still give everything -1/-1 and after that be a 4/3 with you having only 3 lands... yeah it is pretty good I think
I would like more if its a zombie though "bane of the living" and it lives?

The fact that it doesn't survive it's own ability really sucks, but still incredibly useful, nonetheless.

Has Thrashing Wumpus's problem, but TW doesn't morph. This is a pretty darn good value.
