A new staple for my Game of Thrones deck!

This card is the right idea... I like the cost at {1}{B}{B} as it does it's job in slowing down black control. Removal is always needed but this is really expensive for what it does. {B}{B} would have done the trick but I would rather keep it at {1}{B}{B} and add a "cannot regenerate" clause. That Ring of Xathrid will beat this card every time and instead of being removal, it juest becomes remove from combat. You lose a card and three mana for this. I would much rather have Tragic Slip.

Best name in the history of magic, right here. This is the case where everything comes together perfectly. How wonderful.

Cemetery Gate laughs at your feeble attempt to 'Murder' it

A beautiful card: simple, elegant, no flavor text, just "Murder" in the title and three words in the text. I like this a lot. Reminds me of the M11 and M12 versions of Day of Judgment.

Now everybody will say "dies to Murder" and then facepalm a moment later when they realize what they said. :)
We've wanted this for what, 10 years now? Magic 2013: FANSERVICE FANSERVICE FANSERVICE FANSERVICE.
...bodes well for Return to Ravnica.

@Toasty420: Yeah, this card is VERY straightforward in terms of the name describing the effect. An ideal card in that regard. Hell, it's so straightforward you don't even need to read the card text (all three words of it). Standard literally could not have a better named and phrased kill card.
The cost is good: not too cheap, not too expensive, not too splashable. The fact that it's not splashable also adds an interesting element to tournament play, since people can't just throw in a handful of swamps and a few Doom Blades to handle spot removal in otherwise ill-equipped color combos.
I like it! Hope it stays around, although I also hope that Black will continue to get less-expensive target-limited kill cards in future sets, akin to Victim of Night and Ultimate Price.

I love Murder!
(The card, not the crime.)

I think this card illustrates the difference between a 2 mana cost card and a 3-costing card- probably not as powerfully as, say, the difference between Counterspell and Cancel, but enough. Personally, I love it, but I could see many situations where cards like Doom Blade and Go for the Throat might be better. Depends on the environment you're in.
Also, I love how it took nearly 20 years to print this card. Really goes to show you how much depth the game of Magic really has.
