Sorcery speed means that in most competitive environments, you'd rather be running Terminate. Sure it can't hit walkers, but in those colors you're probably running Lightning Bolt or similar anyway. And you'd certainly be running creatures which can - y'know, bash into walkers.
Oh Dreadbore, if you were an instant you'd be so in.

Player is a special type of planeswalker that is reffered to as "player". Sorry brah.

After seeing the new Garruk card and his ability to play any green creature from your hand right off the bat...
Dreadbore is nice, but if the planeswalker in question has a pretty nasty move right off the bat, you're kinda screwed and blue still reigns supreme on its counterspell status (why bother having the threat enter the field at all?).
Still, removal for one black and red of any creature or planeswalker ain't half bad. If it was INSTANT, I could reason why its gold. But as a sorcery, serviceable.

Sorcery speed is sorcery speed.

Players are planeswalkers. Obviously, this is a 2 turn win condition.
>_>
<_<
I like that apparently Rakdos and his minions run around slaughtering planeswalkers like they're normal people.

Simply an amazing card.
The thing about Dreadbore is that you about have to put it head to head with Terminate in a direct comparison.
Obviously you are trading instant speed and no regen for the ability to kill Planeswalkers, so they aren't exactly the same card. They are more alike than not though, and often serve the very same function.
The edge does go to Terminate just barely due to the speed difference, at least when you look at them in the overall context of Magic as a whole.
Dreadbore is obviously slicker Sideboard tech due to its ability to nuke PW as well.
4.5/5 because it's not quite Terminate.
