Kill all those Tokens for only 1 Mana Wohoo
Oh and it has no restrictions, that's kinda neat...

To token and morph creatures , add transformed cards, flipped cards (from Kamigawa block), and animated lands as cards that can be killed for {B}.
These sorts of cards have their place in the game. They may not be quite as useful as cards like Smother, Abrupt Decay or Consume the Meek against early game threats or tokens/other 0-costing threats, but they have more flexibility against larger threats in the late game.
The downside is that this flexibility comes at quite a cost. This really doesn't scale up well versus higher CMC threats. Once you're hitting 5-6+ mana for a straight-up removal spell, you'd probably be better off just stealing the creature or playing mass removal. Ultimately though, having these weaker but more flexible cards as an option is a good thing.
Compare Forced March, which is probably more useful against token/weenie decks.

This card is terrible. The only thing it might be good for is killing black creatures, but even then it would cost 
to kill even a 
CMC creature. Doom Blade beats this card in almost every way.

An interesting card, but now we have murder. This can be cheaper, but it can also be way more expensive, sometimes far out of your current reach.

This was in my first deck. I thought it was pretty sweet. Now it is nearly forgotten, and seeing it again it seems hilariously over costed. If it were to be reprinted in dragons maze or the next block, I can see it being some sort of sideboard tech in a Liliana of the Dark Realms deck, but even that is a stretch.

The artist is Robert Bliss. Its been speculated he wanted to be on Magics 'one hit wonder' list for artists. Whatever the reason, he picked one of the best pen names I've ever seen... go bobbybliss...

This is probably the most fair removal spell ever made. It is splashable, which is good, because if you're splashing black, you're probably doing so for kill spells, and it's unrestricted -- It doesn't matter if it's black or artifact or whatever. The fact that you have to pay the converted mana cost of the creature your killing gives it a fair cost too. 2-mana answers to 7-mana threats is a bit of a joke as it is.
