This is to the left of Dragonstorm in the spoiler. They look like bookends for... something.

Realistically, getting Domain-3 is the best you'll get in limited. On turn 5, if you can get 5 different lands, you have exceptional luck.

Not only that, but giving a creature -5/-5 for 3 mana at instant speed was completely beaten by a spell that could cost 1 and 4 life. Last Gasp can be better than this most of the time.

Right now, it's exceptionally sub-par removal.

I think -4/-4 is where I want "Black -/-" effects to sit at. Drag Down wasn't good enough. Last Gasp is nice. Grasp of Darkness seems about perfect, and Dismember is too good and we all know it. A single Phyrexian mana symbol can sometimes be fair/and make a card cool. A bunch of Phyrexian mana symbols on one card starts to defeat/undermine the CMC of the card. I'm surprised they kept that Dragon pretty fair. Moreover though, multiple P-symbols REALLY undermines the Color Identity of cards, which is the second thing Mana Costs give. That Dragon is slightly wrong to be so easily played in U/W decks. Dismember is abrasively wrong to be so easily played in GREEN-WHITE decks.

I always wanted it to also read "and loses flying until EOT." Actually I wish there was a "Black Target creature gets -1/-1 and loses flying until EOT. /instant." Removal spell. At common for limited.
