Is the dead guy on here the guy in the 5th edition art of Weakness?

Is it weird that I like this card better than Victim of Night just because it makes me laugh whenever I use it?

I like to think that flavor wise, I as a planeswalker just walked up to whatever scary monster my opponent has on the field looked at it carefully and then say "Nope, I don't think I like this creature.", and with the snap of my fingers the creature falls to the ground dead. Then if someone asks what sort of great and amazing magic I used to kill such a powerful beast, all I would have to say is, "Well everything dies when you Murder it."

There are too many alternatives to this that are generally better and I wouldn't run a strong black mana base for this when I could have:
Doom Blade
Tragic Slip
Go for the Throat
even Victim of Night

Unplayable in Standard, unless you're playing mono-black. Right now the only thing you'll be using this on is a big multicolored card, because Ultimate Price is a thing. Even then you are probably better using some other form of removal, or a death-toucher. Being said I always take this guy in drafts.

I think the right play here, assuming you have the sideboard slots and mana base to support it, is to split your main deck removal between two of these and two Doom Blade/Go for the Throat/Ultimate Price/Whatever removal is in standard right now. Just side them in when the regular guys can't quite get it done.

This is probably the easiest card to understand that's not a creature or land.

One would also note that this isn't very splashable. {B}{B} starts becoming much more difficult to be relied on in non-mono or at least, mostly black. Something like the ol' Doom Blade and it's recent kin are very easy to cast in any deck that can afford the splash.

I know about the stack and what not but something is still bothering me if someone summons (vorinclex, voice of hunger) and i murdered it would vorinclex's ability still go into effect?

The only reason I like this card is because they made it a black Cancel.
