Narrow removal is narrow. Love the art and flavor text, though.

Well this is certainly worth at least sideboarding in the current Standard game. Lots of Humans throughout the game's history, so maybe even worth a sideboard slot in expanded formats, too. I like it.

If only it said "or player". Cats would be OP in the next Pro Tour.

Black: Destroy target Dark Confidant. Narrow, but enough creatures are human to make it sideboardable. Maybe.

Narrow, but instant. It seems like black is getting a lot of super-efficient but narrow cards printed lately like Appetite for Brains. I think discard is the new permission for control and Wizards is trying to push variance in decks.

Any spell that could destroy creature without color restriction is dangerous, but the Human restriction drags it down. Granted, some of the most dangerous creatures are humans but there are other card choices with more wiggle room than this one.

Destroy target Delver, regardless of it's fippedness.

Seems a bit unnecessary with Deathmark around.

@ the art: Bite the curb, skull.

VERY good in limited. AVR is crawling with humans, from Wingcrafters to Silverblades to that pesky Tandem Lookout.

As an extreme fan of her influence on Gatherer to utterly redundify half the comments on this entire set, but also as someone that now thinks he might have an understanding and compassion for Doom Blade Guy,
AND as someone who feels that his fan ravings on a billion other cards repeatedly hyperlinking back to She-Who-Must-Stop-Being-Named might incur some kind of debt to society-

I kinda feel I owe it to Gatherer....
To point out that Kaalia of the Vast is a human. >.<

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

@RJDroid: Aww, I was about to say that. =( But yeah, this card is spot on on the flavour!

Probably maindeckable in limited; possible sideboard card in current standard. Probably bad in older formats, but that's not enough to keep it from being useful in its homes. 3/5.

These boots are made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do.

There is a reason this says "Destroy target Human creature"

Destroying your opponents would be OP.

...and this is why we have sideboards.

Standard is overflowing with humans. This may be a little narrow and for the most part worse than Tragic Slip, but it's decent. 3.5/5

This art and the fact that it's an instant vs. Deathmark at sorcery speed makes me prefer it even though I know it's worse.

Imagecrafter could help remove a few more creatures with this.

Is that supposed to be Olivia Voldaren’s boot?

This is why I want a new creature type IRL. Maybe that'll be doable once I'm an artifact creature...

This is not narrow removal. People should do a gatherer search of how many humans there are in the game before they say that this is narrow.
