this is a really great removal card for the mana cost. Gets around shroud, no color restriction and often bumps off more than one creature all for two measly mana.
it is of course best played when your opponent has numberous creatures however, it has such a cheap casting cost that it's worth a spot in many decks.

Half a Plague Wind for less than a quarter of it's cost. Excellent.

Interesting synergy with Gutter Grime that you opponent probably wouldn't be expecting.
You: "So I play Do or Die."
Opponent: "It says you separate my creatures into-"
You: "No, no. I'm targeting myself."
Opponent: "What?"
You: "I separate my tokens from my non-tokens and choose to destroy my non-tokens."
Opponent: "...So your slimes become..."
You: "10/10s, yes. And I get 5 more of them."

Personally I love using this on myself right before Living Death.

This card is extremely effective. Even if your opponent has just two cards, it still has the effect of something like Doom Blade or Go for the Throat. Obviously, it isn't as good, since it is a sorcery and you don't choose your target per-say, but you still destroy 1 creature, for just 1 colorless and 1 black. And when it comes to later game.... oh boy...

I started playing during revised, and when my friend told me about this today, I could not believe he was talking about a real card. What a beating.
Normally, black wants to either destroy everything at once, or have single card removal, but not both, since they are wasteful together. However, this and doom blade type cards go very well together.

I find this to be pretty cheap land destruction when paired with Jolrael, Empress of Beasts. I like to split a couple of the lands up so no matter what they are destroying a couple of them. Absolutely brutal in EDH.
