The only issue is that while it's great because it can kill black and artifact creatures, unlike some other black instant removal, it does suffer vs the small white prot red and prot black weenies.

This is the best "one-hit-kill" creature removal spell. If you want something dead, you use this thing.

I love this card, its cheaper than dark baniching and doesn't even give a condition like "non-black" or anything. FTW

Such an amazingly broken card. I love it.

if they want to make a mythic rare version of this.. they will put "split second" ..but that would be so broken..
All the other creature removal spells wish they were this card.
The two-color cost is the balancing factor, of course, and it's now vulnerable to two different colors of protection, but if you can run it instead of pretty much any other removal spell, you probably should.

Nicely busted kill spell for 2. Would be worth a rare, yet busted because it's a common. Nice twist, WotC.

@ storophanthus:
No, a mythic version of this would say "CARDNAME is colorless." So it could kill Phyrexian Crusader.

@ storophanthus
Why on earth would wizards want to make a mythic rare removal spell?
And also, personally I would prefer if they made the red mana colorless rather than split second.
Haha I love power creep.

man, I'd totally take 4 of these babies to replace all of my doomblades and go for the throats
Why would Wizards make an over-powered mythic rare removal spell?
It'd cost $30-50 and everybody would buy their packs! I mean, come on, I don't think there's an unopened Worldwake booster in the country... They made their money on that set.
