it stops the painter's servant grindstone combo. I also tend to think that cards with alternate mana costs, especially ones that don't even require a discard, are pretty powerful. People get quite hooked on "tapped out".

The conversation is gratuitous since Snuff Out is better than Doom Blade, if used in a proper deck. The again, Doom Blade could achieve the victory here if it was played correctly. Guess that makes them quite equal? :D Would I play Snuff Out with fetch lands and 4 Bob's? Throw in 2-4 Tombstalkers and it's getting really risky. I might prefer Doom Blades even at the expense of losing precious tempo.

Yes, great artwork, but you know what they say about breasts... 'The bigger they are, the faster they rot'. I'd imagine pretty fast, huh Liliana?

Not really worth the cost considering Doom Blade is around. The art is great though.

Comparison should be with Dark Banishing. For {1} more, you get a free casting mode. Sounds like a good deal to me.

So I'm in need of some help making a decision here. I don't have a tournament deck, it's casual play only. Currently, in regards to creature destruction, I have 2 Royal Assassins, 1 Liliana of the Veil, 1 Visara the Dreadful, 2 Doom Blades and 2 Go for the Throats (with extras in my side board in case I'm up against a black or artifact-heavy deck); I also have a couple of Drain Lifes that have proven valuable in both dealing the final few points of damage to an opponent and removing threats on the battlefield. I really like the idea of playing this card without having to pay its mana cost, but I'm not sure that removing Doom Blades or Go for the Throats to make room for Snuff Out would really make much sense. Any ideas on what would be better?

Had no idea there was new art. Gonna have to replace my Mercadia ones. But for real, this card is damn good. Free instant speed removal? How could I say no? Four life is pretty reasonable for the effect you get.

Love love love the art. Free Dark Banishing? It's like Black's Force of Will for legacy :)

Dismember – 
(kind of)
Well, more like a retroactive fusion of Dark Banishing and Dismember.
