Kills Nighthawk, Hell's Thunder, Ball Lightning, Whooly Throctar, Any animated manland (not just WWK), Putrid Leech, Part of Sproting Thrinax, any token (save for certain 20/20 indestructable fliers), Vampire Hexmage, any morph creature, Tarmogoyf, Wild Nacatl, about 90% of all Tribal lords, Birds, Noble Heirarc, Lotus Cobra, Meddling Mage, Rhox War Monk, half of Kitchen finks, Level up dudes like Student of Warefare and the psueso level up Figure of Destiny, Kicker and Miltikicker dudes, Basically the list goes on, but the reason this card is so good because basically every deck runs low cost creatures (the ones that don't are either some sort of combo deck or something) so it beats out Doom Blade for main deck becasue it might be a dead card agains some decks (ie. mono/heave black ones)
So once they four or 5 drop out, Who can be Tendrils of Corruption'd, Consuming Vapors, Gatkeeper of Malikar or Even Damnationthem, outside of black is the P... (see all)

Seems kinda weird that you can smother a Phyrexian Dreadnought...

Much better in competitive formats, but it's always freakin' good. Hits nearly everything in the early game, and if you build an MBC deck right, there shouldn't be too much to deal with in the late game!

I'm sorry, Zahr Gada. I'm not surprised. This is Zendikar, I've already had all the surprise trapped out of me.

Smother is one of those odd cards which is more effective in competitive play than in casual play. In casual, if a creature costs 3 or less, it's generally not worth killing. That is not the case in competitive. Go for the Throat is still probably a better card, though.
@spectermonger
Go for the Throat kills every single card you have there.
