This card is really really strong.
Of course the 
forces black as the main color, but black has four-mana fatties and this card for 
kills every token, Leatherback Baloth, Tarmogoyf, and stops weenie decks, elf decks, merfolk decks, goblin decks, ...
Yes, you can have the same effect at instant speed for less with Consume the Meek, but the variable CMC threshold can be useful, so I consider this card equally powerful.

Deck dependent whether or not you'd rather run Black Sun's Zenith, Necroplasm, Consume the Meek, etc..
(I won't compare to damnation because it's $20+ a card ;) )
In my opinion BSZ will normally be better because you can screw up board positions regardless of having enough mana to actually kill everything; however they do play to different strategies. Certainly your big expensive creatures here benefit more from this and CtM, same with Necroplasm. BSZ coordinates more with a control strategy and less of a counter-strat to issues your big-creature deck may have.
I'd say that the instant speed on CtM and the fact you're unlikely to be casting this at 4+ puts CtM ahead. Necroplasm also allows one to eliminate tokens the turn it's played and can be dug out any time it's needed. Comboing with Slitherhead is an easy way to ensure you kill what you need, but these of course rely on a graveyard strategy.
S... (see all)
