This is a solid card. I do think it's clearly better than Terror and slightly better than Doom Blade. First of all, the extra 1 mana is not really a big deal since it's only 3 CMC vs. 2 for Terror / Doom Blade. Secondly, with the introduction of the colored artifacts, there are a lot more artifact creatures to worry about nowadays. Doom Blade comes close, but regeneration is common enough where I'd rather pay the extra 1 to be SURE the creature stays dead. 4/5

Slighty better than Terror, in that it can destroy artifact creatures.

they're both worse than doom blade unless your target can regenerate.

Draugnor:
oh, yeah, it IS slightly better than terror...not.
the extra mana is not worth it to destroy artifact creatures.

The man (woman?) in the art is clearly not a legal target for this spell.

To go with the flavor text it should exile the creature it destroys, but then again exiling is whites cup of tea.

Instant classic, even though there are clearly better options out there, such as the also veteran Terror, the more recent Doom Blade and Go for the Throat, or my personal favourite: Rend Flesh.
4/5 (3.75 + 0.25 points for nostalgia)

I agree Shakespeare, I really hate Path to Exile.
