Yeah, we'll probably play it in limited, but this is a far call from Grasp of Darkness.

It's kind of a shame that Innistrad is rotating out. This is absolutely terrible compared to Tragic Slip, imo.

Guys, don't let one guy get four of these things in Limited. I know it isn't Grasp of Darkness, but it is still removal in a set that really isn't overflowing with it. Trust me, when you can kill that Fabled Hero or two-for-one someone trying to use those cantrip auras, you'll learn to appreciate this card.

Removal has to get worse for creatures to get better, I guess. Oh well. -4/-4 is definitely worth splashing for, especially if you're in a color without much removal to begin with. Like green. Probably just green, actually.

Literally unplayable in standard, and is embarrassing when Grasp of darkness exists, but removal is always playable in drafts.

Apparently changing Black to colorless gave them 4.

Can't say I've seen that happen before.

Thank heaven (or hell?) that this isn't Fatal Fumes! This is in almost all ways better than Fumes. Sure it costs more, but it's no more Black that Fumes, and giving a creature an additional -2 toughness can make or break a game.

Still not as cost-effective as Wring Flesh it, though...

We went from Dismember to this in two years?

Because B is equivalent to 4 colorless.

Limited removal will be limited removal.

Please tell me this is the worst card in the set. I see something like this, I refuse to buy boosters.

Guys, limited removal is being nerfed in this block to slow things down and give the Monstrosities a chance to do things.

This is like the little brother of Grasp of Darkness. It wants to be like its big brother but no one likes it and no one wants to play with it.

This is dreaded. I'm sorry but why would they nerf Grasp of Darkness so hard? Are those indestructible Gods really that worth protecting?

Keep this card in hand. It looks threatening from behind.

Compared to Dismember, absolutely pathetic.

Not every card is designed for constructed guys, this is a very solid limited card.

5 mana, and it doesn't even get rid of gods... pathetic. Amazing in Limited though.
