Make it cost one Black more and make it an instant. That's what I want to see in the next core set.

Why hasn't this card been brought back in a base set? Why did M10 have to get Assassinate (useless censor) and not this beautiful killing spell?

There is nothing beautiful about Death Stroke. It's not that powerful either - Unmake is where it's at.

@ firechao
As is Demonic Tutor in comparison to Diabolic Tutor or Lightning Bolt to Shock or Counterspell to Cancel.

The questions truly are:

1. Can you find these cards at your local card stores?
2. Are you willing to pay the price?

Sure, Unmake is about $1, pretty cheap, but Death Stroke is $0.25 or less, depending on your source.

It doesn't do the job as well as Royal Assassin does it. It's very funny that a card from 18 years ago is still relevant in today's magic games.

One mana. Oh no. What ever shall we do. The horror. The horror. Also one specific type of mana less. SAME CARD IS DIFFERENT FLAVOR TEXT.

This card owns Assassinate. I really hate how Assassinate isn't an instant, I mean seriously... I can only Assassinate someone during my turn. That is lame.

@TDL
Close call, we have Murder now.

This is still a good card in my opinion. Sorcery speed can be a big hindrance, but it can take out nearly any creature for BlackBlack
