@Lief098: For {B}{B}{B} we have Unmake which is even better than what you want.

KnexWiz: Actually, there is a very similar card like that--Dark Banishing. Just hope you can handle it not being able to find black creatures. (Got a Distorting Lens?) Then again, it also interdicts regeneration; would that help compensate?

EDIT: Small wonder this disappeared--it's been displaced by Hero's Downfall. HD is the same, except (a) it's rare (so it's not valid for Pauper or Peasant), and (b) it can find planeswalkers as well.

The amazing thing is this is at common. So you could see quite a few of these in limited.

Terminate is not that much harder to pull off at all, but it requires dat red. Please don't forget about terminate guys, besides the cost its just plain better than this.

Such a simple yet great card design; I'm surprised they didn't print it sooner. It really is perfectly costed for what it does. I wonder if, in a future set, we'll see one that costs BlackBlackBlack with an added "cannot be regenerated" clause.

EDIT:
@zipec
Yeah, that's true, I forgot about Unmake. I guess it's like Wrath of God vs. Day of Judgment, in that the card with or without the regeneration clause would probably cost about the same, but Wizards decided to print the weaker version to create a healthier environment.

Wiz seems WAY too into these simple cards. I get it, the text box is clean and concise but it's not that big of a deal. That's what full-art cards are for.

Only took them 18 years to finally make a black only "destroy target creature" instant with no exceptions to its effectiveness.

Never before has a single card been so eloquent and straight forward in its text.

DESTROY TARGET CREATURE.

three words.

and, every time i play it against my friends, I say "MMmmmuuuurrrdddeerrrrrr!!!!" in my most evil voice

also, if you are teaching a friend how to play magic, and they don't understand this card, then it's time to make new friends.
