It's cool that they incorperated the green and white in the art. A beautifully flavorful card.

Decent sideboard removal, albeit conditional...that said sorcery hurts this alot, but other 1 cost removal is either very conditional or has potentially severe drawbacks (Vendetta or Slaughter Pact) although personally I prefer Ghastly Demise since black has a pretty easy job of keeping it's graveyard full, and it's an instant. Also non-black can hit {R}{W}{U}{G}, whereas Deathmark can only hit {G}{W}

Good card. Don't maindeck it of course. Its a sideboard card through and through. I don't think instsant speed would have broke it though. 4*

The art is even better when you realize the pupil-tear is actually moving upwards.

Creepy art.

EDIT: Wimple, I think the guy is laying on the ground, dead. So it actually IS dripping down.

I love that some coldsnap cards have been able to survive outside of that set and are getting reprinted. Deathmark is a great choice, let alone that huge improvement in art.

A little cirumstantial, so it is a little less playable, but hey, great art.

Great vs. human decks, but being at sorcery speed really hurts it

Essential in black infect sideboards. Might as well read "Break in case of Melira, Sylvok Outcast."

Nice card - Only one mana cost; Can't go higher than 3.5 as it is a sorcery and is limited to grn/wht. Might be good as a discard. The artwork is awesome, and the flavor text is sweet.

Can they do that?

They should change the flavor text to f*** Selesnya.

I am not sure why Black got shafted out of instant speed. Its limited to creatures and purge can exile at instant speed for 1 more.

Kills Tidehollow Sculler, that which Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, and Victim of Night cannot. Good stuff. Now if only it were instant.

Actually quite good in Modern due to the large number of powerful green and, to a lesser extent, white creatures in the format, such as Tarmogoyf, Scavenging Ooze, and Deathrite Shaman. Very playable despite the sorcery speed. Might be too good if it were an instant.

@tcollins

This doesnt hit colorless, while "nonblack" does.

This hits 7/10 guilds, "nonblack" hits 6/10.

This hits 9/10 tricolors, "nonblack" hits 4/10.

This hits all quadcolors, "nonblack" hits 1/5.

This hits 5 color, "nonblack" doesnt.

Include the 2/5 and 4/5 monocolors, and this hits 24/32 possible color schemes, while "nonblack" hits 15/32. Granted, monocolor might be more common, but maybe not always (especially with the duo colored mana symbols). Too bad it hasn't seen a reprint lately. And it won't for a while probably, given that they are trying to bring back monocolor.
