Yeah, there's no hate-rating going on here or anything. A solid removal spell that has been a roleplayer in basically every format it's legal in definitely deserves 2.25. Mmhmm.

C'mon people!!! Just because every post on a non-black creature that is an absolute bomb has falls to Doom Blade .5/5 comments spammed doesn't make Doom Blade a bad card! Stop taking it out on Doom Blade's rating! Oh and great spell, current black staple removal spell in standard definitely deserves a 4 at least.

Thing is, doom blade ISN'T a 4-star spell in EDH. Mortify, putrefy, terminate, vindicate, beast within, swords to plowshares, go for the throat, crib swap, rend flesh, chaos warp, bant charm, eyeblight's ending, maelstrom pulse, crosis's charm, path to exile, etc, etc... doom blade is hardly a premium removal spell.

It's not hate-rated. It's rated based on the format. This card isn't as good in Commander.

Doom Blade simply just isn't good in Commander format. 1-for-1's in Commander are basically pointless, unless they're: 1. Combo-enabling (say, Bone Splinters your Abyssal Gatekeeper with a Grave Pact on the field). 2. Versatile. As someone suggested, Putrefy and Mortify are good examples. In a format that allows you to build mana because it has long games, A cheap 1-for-1 just isn't amazing. (And if you still want it, use something like Rend Flesh, as there are more black creatures running around in EDH than Spirits, and again, cmc isn't a huge issue.)
