"Destroy target planeswalker" is not sufficient reasoning to make this rare IMO, because it also says "Destroy target creature" and creatures are vastly more common obviously. Therefore the planewalker is just like an added bonus to what could have been a really good uncommon removal spell for limited.
But I digress.
5/6 stars

At last, a card that directly targets a planeswalker for destruction. Instead of the indirect methods of destruction (resolving another walker with the same subtype, removing all loyalty counters as per methods such as Vampire Hexmage or Hex Parasite) we now have a way to punch Jace, the Mind Sculptor directly in the face.
While the downsides of Dreadbore in comparison to Terminate are that it is not an instant and the destroy creature option for Dreadbore does not have the "it can't be regenerated" clause, the upside of having the option of destroying a planeswalker for the same mana cost, in my humble opinion, makes Dreadbore a preferential and more versatile inclusion than Terminate.

I hate when we get rares that should be uncommons, but are too powerful.

Really? 4 stars? This thing is top-tier removal. The only reason it's not absurdly broken is the Sorcery speed.

@darsidian true, however it should be noted that abrupt decay DOES deal with the back half of Garruk Relentless. since the veil cursed has no mana cost, it by definition has a CMC of zero

Nasty - anything that can erase a walker deserves consideration.

This makes me less sad about not having many planes-walkers.

Named after the sense of dread my opponents get before I bore them to death.
