I finally had that moment where I had two Doom Blades in hand against another black deck. I promptly tracked down some copies of this and swapped them out.

It seems all those "dies to Doom Blade" comments are going to change slightly...

This is what Black has been waiting for.

The only way this could be better would be if the card number were 187. Amazing flavor and a great card.

No murder, don't leave us, we had so much fun together in standard, you've been so much nicer to me than your discriminating brother doom blade, I never had to rely on the luck of my opponent not playing black with you, sure, you demand more mana, but you treated all our victims equally, you've never been a dead card, you didn't force me to play a sideboard in casual, you even had a cooler name. And your awesome brother Tragic slip is also leaving us, why cannot black be the colour of death? Why does it have to matter if a creature is black or white, cannot they all just die alike? I'll miss you murder, you were the hero us black planeswalkers wanted and deserved :(

This is what Black has needed for a long time. The mana cost is perfect - it can't be as cheap as Doom Blade or Go For The Throat, and it can't be as splashable as Rend Flesh or Eyeblight's Ending. For 1BlackBlack, you can murder any creature in Magic (barring the indestructible, shrouded, and hexproofed, of course). And the minimalist rules text further proves how futile life is when faced with... Murder.

This feels better in contrast to the Terror family of Black Instants (such as Doom Blade and Go for the Throat) than Cancel feels in contrast to Counterspell. Murder is nice because it's almost always useful, while at the same time it basically never feels broken. That's a nice combination for a card to have, with such a widely applicable effect.

4/5. Effective, straight-forward, not over-powered.

Because Doom Blade is replacing this in 2014, I believe it is correct to say that this dies to Doom Blade.

now strictly worse than hero's downfall..
i kinda feel sad when good cards are obsoleted by new ones, but power-creep is necessary to keep the game alive..
