Where is some Drew Tucker artwork when you need it. That guy could make a nature scene look revolting.

I'm not sure if the art being so ugly is good or bad.
But I do know one thing: the card is good.

This card is such core set material...but I suppose giving black a board sweeper this good too often would be problematic.

I'm sure this card lost a bit of its thunder with the printing of Damnation, but this still eludes indestructibility and regeneration. Only one thing troubles me about Mutilate: it seems like it would be noticeably weak in multi-colored decks unless you use Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.

This is the movie poster for Home Alone in an alternate universe that you'd rather not visit.

I find the art hilarious.
Clearly my sense that tells me whether somethingis disturbing or not is handicapped.

This looks more like mutation than mutilation. I agree with themicronaut, I love Drew Tucker's work and think this would be a perfect candidate for him!

For the purposes of mass removal it's more efficient than Black Sun's Zenith in mono-black.

Wow, that is some terrible art.
And is that guy in the red trying to show off his arms while everybody else gets stretched out?

If used in mono-Black with only creatures that have high Toughness or recursion, of which there are a bunch of cheap ones (Hunted Horror, Abyssal Persecutor, Bloodghast, and Reassembling Skeleton come to mind), it's a one-sided board wipe most of the time.
It's better in many cases than Damnation or Black Sun's Zenith because the former can't destroy Indestructible creatures, and the latter costs more mana for the same effect. These two also destroy or put permanent -1/-1 counters on your own creatures, respectively, so they will never be one-sided even with high Toughness creatures. If you're not fighting any Indestructible creatures, or your opponents mostly have creatures with either extremely high (5+) or extremely low (2-) Toughness, the other cards are better, though, so it just depends on your opponent.

In a deck with nothing but swamps, this card can be much better then Damnation. Not to mention your benefiting from things like lashwrithe or nightmare lash and maybe even corrupt. You can even save your bomb and clear the board, if the situation is correct.
Great card for mono black, 5/5

I love this art. Every time I see it I hear that stock female scream in every 80's low budget horror/action movie.

@Jfre81 Not quite. You can't ramp this effectively. If you do this T2 with a dark ritual you get the same result, any other turn and Black Sun's will do better. (albeit marginally.) Sun's can also use colorless lands, which may be present in monoblack, and it may receive. It's also adjustable to create 1-sided wipe.
All of these things say that in non-casual you should move to the Black Sun unless you want true boardwiping; via damnation or something

The other artworks just don't capture the terror of this spell like Mr. Peterson's does. In mono-black (where I hope is where you would play this), this can be better than Damnation. Save for ludicrously-powerful monsters, this thing kills indiscriminately - hexproof, protection, indestructible, regeneration, it matters not. "Yeah, but it kills your own Nightmare and Korlash." Not if you have Bad Moon out, you doofus.

I like art like this. The spell MUTILATES people; Wizards shouldn't try to sugarcoat it.
