One Of The Best Commons Ever Printed. Almost Always Great In Standard Except In Mirrodin And Adam Rex Did A Superb Job On This Artwork Totally Revamped.

right up there with dark ritual, lightening bolt, hymn to tourach, and the lovely mana elves.

Replaced by Doom Blade. Trading no-regen for hitting artifacts. Not sure if I like the name, but I really like the art.

Love this card and its opposite, Purge; but i have to agree that Doom Blade is better. Or Terminate too.

a really good card. the best thing about it is that it costs so little mana to play!

I'd be pretty terrified if I were that guy. I don't know if I'd DIE, but whatever.

Clas-sic, and nothing batter to say than that.

(Note: had to place the dash (-) because of the filter for the letter combination of "A+S+S")

Apparently this art was banned in China. A friend of mine showed me his Chinese 10th ed. Terror, and it had the Mirrodin art.

Nice card. I really like the 10th edition art. Creepy, yet epic.

Scaring someone to death. That's cool, but this art doesn't make any sense. The last time I got really scared (when I saw Lady Gaga for the first time) my bones didn't jump out of my mouth after my skin fell off.

This card and Severed Legion were the two cards that one me the first game of Magic I ever won. They were my favorites and somehow worked their way into every black deck I made for the first few weeks of playing.

Now both of them have been either improved on or just plain left in the dust...oh well, I'll always have a soft spot for Terror, the best kill card before Doom Blade.

@ScissorsLizard: That's because the depiction of skeletons and zombies is a taboo in Chinese culture.

Still like the art though.

Terror, now obsolete, thanks to its kids Doom Blade and Go for the Throat. We will miss you.

★★★★★ (5.0/5.0) (2 votes)
Terror's still not actually obsolete because it's the only one of the trifecta that can shut down annoying regenerators.

Yeah, that's certainly a much smaller niche than Doom Blade or Go for the Throat, but it's still a potentially important niche.

Besides, there are still plenty of things to kill that are both nonblack and nonartifact.

Doom Blade might think it has the upper hand, but only Terror can finish off a Cudgel Troll.

This might be my favorite art in all of MTG. I can see it on the cover of a death metal album or something.

Doom blade and Go for the throat can't kill Mossbridge Troll.

This has to be one of the coolest, most interesting pieces of art in the world of MtG.

This belongs on a museum wall at maximum size.

The card has been mostly obsoleted,
but 5/5 for the art alone.

Quoting Dr. Nick from the Simpsons:
"You have a terrible bone disease where the skeleton tries to JUMP out of the skin through the mouth."

I don't understand the "this card is obsolete" statements. You're missing the "can't be regenerated" clause.

Either way, I'll play it just for the art. So there.

I was wondering how the Phyrexian Metamorph/Sharuum Combo would look like.

Now I know...

Mossbridge? Screw You.

THRUN, THE LAST TROLL, HOLDING UMEZAWA'S JITTE.

Yes, 'kills Regenerators', is actually, VERY important. Perhaps Terminate is more useful at this point, but perhaps you are trying to keep your colors easy to play. In Legacy? Still not wholly irrelevant. Does Maelstrom Pulse in fact kill Regenerators? No? Vindicate? Still no? Yes. Terror is good in Legacy. Now that's scary.


Wait. Hexproof. #RTFC -___-

THRUN!!!!!!!! >:o Ok, then that Spotlight in Ravnica. -_- Stupid f*king Troll :P

This art alone makes reprinting Terror worthwhile.

There was a time when regeneration seemed to be a mechanic fading out of the game as others have, notably banding, but in 2013 it's clear that it's here to stay. If anything, this is "obsoleted" more by the existence of cards like Asceticism that can make all targeted black removal worthless.

I use the art of this card as my laptop's background image.

Seriously some of the most disturbing art I've seen on a magic card. Fits black's flavor perfectly.
