I'd have liked to see the oldschool artwork from Jesper Myrfors instead, but Gary Leach's one looks great with in new card design as well - quite intensive colors, didn't notice that on the fifth edition one.
I don't think Wizards will make a black version of Honor of the Pure any time soon. Black is about "win at all costs" so if the opponent uses black creatures, that is the price to be paid.

Less effetive against decks built with Zendikar, since most people seem to be running black (at least where I play), so playing this doesn't necessarily help you unless you have more black creatures. A great card for the Duel Deck set though, since it won't have any drawback when you're up against monogreen.

@SocialExperiment Its not just where you live, vampires are amazing.
I don't like this card as I run into other black decks far too often for this to be helpful enough to be useful.

Well, even when the opposition is also playing black this card seems like it still COULD be helpful/useful considering that it pumps all your black creatures so when/if a creature gets through it does more than it would normally, just about timing against other mono black decks... Isn't a card, I, Myself don't use alot but still a nice card XD
I don't find myself playing against alot of mono black given allies are pretty popular here and most don't seem to be play mono black allies so, it's some sooth sailing lol.

Odd, I see a lot of people complaining about the massive use of black decks being played lately when I read the peoples comments, but not Doom Blade. At least this card does something when you are going against another black deck. I really should't speak though, I have 4 doom blades and only one of these in my black deck.

great but not better than honor of the pure and maybe glorious athem in some cases. it can boost your opponents creatures as well thats the dwon side of it but is great any how.

Hope you've got your deck together/ Hope you are quite prepared to lose. Who doesn't love Creedence? At least this isn't as obvious as Rolling Stones.
You're going to be the only one playing with black creatures when you play with this. So "All" is really just you. There is always that 'one' guy with the black deck and if you are interested in this card it is likely you.

I used to use some Bad Moons (in French! Lune Blafarde!) in my zombie deck back in the day. It badly got broken by more specific, creature cards such as Lord of the Undead, Death Baron, Cemetery Reaper and Undead Warchief.

Good art... but then again... No flavor? -.- Still... Someday... I'd like to see something like this... in a black enchantment

I find it funny that blacks biggest weakness is other black decks not only with this card but also with there kill cards all of blacks best kill cards can not target black creators.

Great card although not very flavorful for black - you know support the whole group/weenies. Black is about selfishness and one being becoming stronger than others at all costs.
But on the other hand Wizards ones explained that its flavorful for black to seek power by bleeding into other colors so i dont know. I´d like to hear some other opinions on that.

I actually prefer Death Pit Offering to this card. It just feels so much more black.
Like Carnophage said, there are already a lot of black lords who will offer boosts to your creatures - vampires, zombies, zombies, zombies, zombies...infect. Run those lords instead.

It would be better for the game and the game flavor if they convert all this old cards like Cruzade, all Slivers and old lords like Lord of Atlantis to only affect your permanents, not opponent permanents.
And cards like Dread of Night would keep unchanged because this was its original objective, but lords are very disappointing when you lose the game because the lord affected the opponent's creatures and so you are attacked by a lot of unblockable creatures!

@MagicJohn They are actually doing that for the new slivers in M2014.
However, I disagree with you for this card. A bad moon seems pretty global doesn't it? I would expect that something like this helps other black creatures too.

First magic card I ever saw, my family was at a homeschooling conference in Baltimore and some kids were playing magic out back and one of them left it there, I lost it a day after I got home :(

Back then it was superior to Crusade, now it's inferior to Honor of the Pure.
