I like the art. The dead guy is actually crying up. Or he's upside down, but I prefer the prior.

The eye appears to be upside down.

I think the dead guy's lying on the ground with his head extended such that his tears "fall upward" toward his eyebrow. Coolness.

The whole crying black thing reminds me of earlier evil Yawgmothy days.
I like it.

The M10 artwork brilliantly incorporates the color of mana into the work (the pupil resembles a black skull!), and it shows what the card actually does (it kills things!), and the use of cropping, viewpoint, and the figure's pose make it interesting to the academic mind (what is going on in the work?). I love this work so much! =)

I really like this card. Althought it only taregts Green and White, it's still cheap, so it's good if your up aginest said colours. Still, in terms of art, I like the prieivous verisions. The snowdrop of blood with the corpse in the centre was awesome.

I don't like the art. It looks like a photograph, and photographs have no place on a Magic card.

Wow. MUCH improved over the Coldsnap version. Just about everyone at the prerelease was blown away by this new artwork.
And yes, the poor schmuck is upside down (his eyebrow is in the lower lefthand corner of the artwork)

If anything, the skull just grosses me out that much more, it's like black just puked all over green and white. Which is probably the message they're trying to get across anyways, but...

Personally, I don't like this art nearly as much as the Coldsnap one. The black crying is awesome, and goes well with Assassinate, but the black mana symbol for an eye really kills it for me. It makes it look... obvious and cartoony.

i like how the artist has added the black mana symbol into the pupil. i also like how the person is up-side down, so the blood is falling upward into his head. Awesomeness.

Niche removal, cheap cost, AMAZING artwork.
One of my favorite black spells, and pretty much an instant 3+ of in any black or black splashed decks sideboard.

Great card -- especially since it costs only ONE of those cute little skulls --, but it honestly gets blown away by Celestial Purge since CP is a permanentexilinginstant! Where DM is only a creature destroying sorcery. Wouldn't mind having either one on my sideboard, but DM still gets poonterated by CP.

Eh, it's good for its purpose. A worthy sideboard card, and a fair answer to the Baneslayer.

Personally I think this actually a really weak card, since you would never want to run a card that only works on one color without the help of somehing like painter's servant, at which point its easier to switch over to the easier terminate, or path to exile, or maelstrom pulse.

The art nicely portray the black skull is colour of the card itself. The green iris and white sclera is being marked by it. Thus the art is accurately reflected on the text itself.

Really nice card, a side board for almost any deck that can run it.
Amazing artwork too.

looks like the skull had a little too much booze.
Bye tarmogoyf and baneslayer, you won't be missed. It's always great when a 50 cent card can take care of 50-80 dollar cards. I think I'll do an altered Deathmark with a tarmogoyf and baneslayer in the pic...that would be fun.

I think the art for this card is one of the best in all of magic. I hate the card because it hoses my two colors, but the art just does everything right. I mean everything. As much as I hate black, it's definitely the color that gets the best art.

Goes in all extended black decks for the time being. Just too good against zoo. Tarmogoyf and Baneslayer Angel control for 1? Awesome.

One could say that it's narrow. But green and white have the most dangerous badass beaters, and this costs only , so to me it's a very good sideboaring.
