In regards to this and Phyrexian Furnace: Phyrexian Furnace is better when dealing with your opponent's graveyard because they don't get the choice on what to exile (it has to be the bottom card). However, this is better when you're trying to get things out of your OWN graveyard to thwart your opponent, e.g. getting rid of a creature if they're trying to target it with Animate Dead; Phyrexian Furnace won't let you take it out unless it's the bottom card.

Although Scrabbling Claws and Phyrexian Furnace are better because they can stay in play and keep on doing hurting graveyards (as well as getting rid of stuff in your own graveyard if your opponent happens to cast Rise From the Grave targeting something in your graveyard), Nihil Spellbomb is superior because it takes it out in one free activation and also has the possibility of cycling.

@Tigt The biggest difference between this and Phyrexian Furnace is that this always takes their worst card and Phyrexian Furnace removes the bottom card every time.

@Tigt
The reason they didn't use phyrexian furnace is because the furnace cares about graveyard order - something that has been removed from the game for being annoying to keep track of. You can't organise your graveyard because someone's card might care about it. If something in the graveyard has to be chosen randomly, you can't shuffle it. If someone looks at someone's graveyard, you have to tell them to not rearrange it. It's just a nuisance to keep track of.
The reason this card is not worse than other graveyard hate cards is because it is not a 1-time use. If you play this early, your opponent won't have a graveyard. If you play it late, you can still threaten their reanimation spells by leaving 1 mana open. If they go to reanimate something, just exile it. If you blow a relic of progenitus now, what are you going to do next turn when they dump a new threat into the graveyard? The relic is actually better later in the game, while t... (see all)
