Very focused creature removal for a "low" price.
Sideboard for sure in monoblack control.

Solid removal, but the real reason I'm here is to upvote Goatllama's comment. I was SO P1SSED when Geralf didn't get a card... maybe if/when they return to Innistrad...

Excellent sideboard material, considering we lost Doom Blade and mono-colored creatures are often seen, even in Ravnica.

Ultimate Price (Not the Return to Ravnica Version) {1B}
Destroy target creature that costs over $1. If that creature costs over $10, its controller loses 6 life.

Considering that most creatures are mono-colored, pros like me know that this is excellent removal.

No no no no!
Have any of you played this during the Prerelease?
This card was exceptionally hard to play! There are way too many cards that couldn't be targeted at all, and they were to most dangerous ones! Auger Spree, as weird as it is, was easier to play.
The best thing that this could've killed was Deadbridge Goliath, and your opponent won't be sore when that dies.
It is nowhere close to Go for the Throat. In fact, this is strictly worse, considering that it can't kill Artifact creatures anyway (since they don't have a colour).
I suppose Black Removal was at it's peak right before Return (with Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, Dismember, Murder, Geth's Verdict, and Tragic Slip) and we're just spoiled, but people should not consider this to be better than any of the removal spells played in the ... (see all)

4/5. Coveted removal in limited and possible constructed applications.

This card seems damn good now that Devotion decks have taken over Standard. Even better, one of them is Black Devotion, which makes Doom Blade go cry in a corner. Of course, it doesn't hit Nightveil Specter, but then again neither does Doom Blade.
I can see Red being very happy in rogue decks soon.

Give it Rakdos or Golgari or even guildless flavor but don't put freakin' Orzhov in here when I want more relevant flavor.
