I think I traded this for something bad in my noob days. I think it might have been for another Filigree Angel. Still kicking myself for that one.

Ok I have a question about a possible situation. Say you play Pithing Needle on Necrotic Ooze, since Pithing Needle shuts down the activated abilities of the source and since Necrotic Ooze doesn't actually have any activated abilities of its own, would this end up being useless?

I like to think it deals with enemy 'walkers by becoming lodged in their brain.

Probably going to be in Core Set M14 instead of Oblivion Ring as the go-to Planeswalker-Hater.

I'm interested in Dreadbore as a card that eventually needed to probably be made for the larger card pool formats, but I wouldn't want Terminate in Standard all the time, and I wouldn't want Dreadbore all the time either. Pithing Needle is an awesome way to balance Planeswalkers without feeling too much like overkill-hate. Ravnica is connected enough with the rest of the Multiverse that Dreadbore makes sense- Pithing Needle though, is the kind of card I could see anywhere/everywhere that just happens to be lucky against Planeswalkers. Great Design from Kamigawa, and good reprint instincts from the Return to Ravnica team :D
