@DaLucaray Hero's Downfall isn't a sorcery, and it hits black creatures. The better comparison would be to Murder or Dark Banishing anyways.

Flavor text is hilarious, and perfectly black. As for the card? Let's compare it to Hero's Downfall, shall we?

Downfall

+Hits Planeswalkers

+Hits black creatures

-Only one target

Spite

+Hits two creatures

-You have to have two targets (Granted, you won't very often not have two threats on the board in EDH)

-Eats up a significant chunk of life.

Yeah, 5 life is a little rough. Still, in lifegain it's not too much, and in EDH you have more life. The destruction of two creatures for the (mana) price of one is pretty significant. I think this card (like many) has found a good home in EDH, where you have life to spend and enough good targets.

Guys... no one has mentioned Ashes to Ashes as a comparison yet?

Spite is an instant and destroys 2 non-black creatures for 5 damage and 3 mana. Ashes is a sorcery and exiles two non-artifact creatures for 5 damage and 3 mana.

The difference is kinda like that between Disenchant and Revoke Existence

That Skyrim player who enjoys roasting NPCs on the coals of the in they inhabit. Or maybe that's just me.

I prefer Ashes to Ashes, but this is also really good.
