"Also consider that you can cast this for 1BB to put just one -1/-1 on everybody, which is usually as good as a Wrath against a weenie deck and is one mana cheaper. "
Even better when you cosider that one of the closest things to that that was released recently is Choking Fumes, which costs 1cmc more and only works during combat.
I think it can combo well with Massacre Wurm if you can get the mana, too. -2/-2 from the Wurm, then even more from the Zenith... as long as MW stays alive long enough for his graveyard effect to kick off, your opponents are going to lose a LOT of life.

Someone else caught on to the ridiculous connection between this and Necroskitter. Absolutely ridiculous. This, Necroskitter, Kulrath Knight and Everlasting Torment = fun game. I've got one of these, two Massacre Wurms... a few more purchases and my friends will officially hate on me something fierce.

What's that? That's the sound of a limited nuclear bomb going off (maybe even Constructed...I guess we'll see).

@paddameester Black Sun's Zenith does not target anything therefore protection and shroud effects make no difference. Also it is not considered to be countered even if no creatures receive -1/-1 counters, say because the only creatures on the board are Melira's Keepers. The spell still resolves and is shuffled back into its owner's library. I would suggest going to the Rules Forum next time you need clarification.

@HairlessThoctar
Not only is it more splashable, it also is more permanent for those big beaters you can't quite remove as well as being far more flexible in mana cost.

This card is broken as an instant. Its so funny to see m opponents reaction when he sinks the mana hes been stockpiling for 5 turns on a White Sun's Zenith and you pay four mana to wipe out their entire pus sy cat army. Those poor pussies never stood a chance...

I guess it could depend on the situation, but I really like the fact that it puts X -1/-1 counters on everything rather than just giving -X/-X until end of turn like Bane of the Living.

Very good mass black removal. Combos explosively with Flourishing Defenses and Coat of Arms (I had 72 72/72 Elves with this combo xD)
Unfortunately, in straight removal, completely outclassed by Life's Finale and Damnation. Still fun though.
