Pointed Discussion

This was probably the best when there where not many decks run muti-colored decks. Now? Not so much. Most decks now a-days have 2 colors in them.

Given that you're playing against a monoblack deck this is of course preferable to Wrath of God, but i'd prefer having this one or Day of Judgement nontheless.
Being a marginal sideboard choice, it should cost less. The black counterpart from Portal for instance, Virtue's Ruin, proofs that.

It costs the same as Wrath, so many people would dismiss it as sub-par.... But it is actually really, really good sideboard material for any non-black deck with even a bit of white or, hell, even a deck with a bit of black!

Also keep in mind, however, that it is much more like Day of Judgment than Wrath, since the creatures can regenerate. In black, that could be a problem, where there are Drudge Skeletons running around.

Run with Whim of Volrath.

I'm only worried about one creature in the deck I run, and that's Progenitus. This geets it off the board without killing my own creatures. Great if you're running mono-white

@mrredhatter Whim of Volrath does not work on spells. I'm sure one of those cards can do what you're suggesting though.

Thats Racist.

All of my friends run black creatures because doom blade was too powerful. I play this instead and love the looks on their faces as the scathe zombies all hit the bin
