@kitsunewarlock: what card are you looking at? normal auras do not have races, and Phyrexians didn't reenter magic until 4-5 years later.
Anyway, This card is amazing, allowing you to neutralize your opponents biggest creatures while making them suffer at the same time. very cheap to play as well. The only thing that could make this card better is if it prohibited activated abilities as well, although that is a bit too much to ask for at this cost. This, Faith's fetters, doomblade and Mortify make up my removal suite in my Orzhov multiplayer deck. It draws aggro really quickly, but hey, someone has to, and at least i will be able to use my opponents' life as a buffer to stay at roughly the same total while they slowly wither away as i kill their creatures as well.

@Darth Pallax Don't forget Tidehollow Sculler and, Ghost Council of Orzhova, or Zealous Persecution.

This and Crystallization sure beats using pacifisim; though I think Pillory of the Sleepless is the FAR better of the three, where it makes the creature useless and drains it's controller :D
Pacifisim is just so basic and dull/boring.... Me playing that was sure short lived lol...

OMG that is an awesome combo! {B} then another {1}{W}{B} to deal THREE points of damage to them on each of their turns XD That's just freakin' awesome, simple and sickning!
Never seen or heard of that Sleeper Agent card before... I almost tempted to try to get a set LOL :D

So wait, let me get this straight...
Angel of Despair, Mortify, Pillory of the Sleepless, Vindicate,
....what, is W/B just the color of saying 'f### you' to your opponent?
on TOP of what White and Black individually have?
I know there is supposed to be power, but ultimately balance, in all the colors and combinations...
but something seems fishy about W/B...
Why isn't Godless Shrine a $30 card? ditto Marsh Flats. :P
10 bucks says I probably haven't even named the best White-Black card yet...

The reason this card lacks a race is because its a phyrexian. Kind of. Its complicated. Hence the lack of race.

I absolutely despise this card. Pretty much every deck I own relies on creatures, and at least three people I know run Orzhov decks. This. Freaking. Card.

I enjoy slapping this and ragged veins on creatures in my friend's burn deck.
Here, lose a lot of life all at once, or drain. Your choice!

pumped up Pacifism or Prison Term and even Faith's Fetters replacement for white-black - obligatory lifedrain card, preferably four of them.
