My multicolor decks are much happier having a less color intensive Grave Pact. Having flash and only affecting my opponents (not my teammates) is well worth one extra mana.

I can just imagine player A having lethal evasive damage ready to seal the deal and then casting a removal spell on player B's only creature only to have this flashed in response for an epic comeback win.

Instant-speed Grave Pact, as if that card wasn't infuriating enough.

Welcome back to Standard, Grave Pact. Granted, you are not as you once were, but you will certainly suffice in this newer, modified form.
This may be the most beautifully terrifying art since Life's Finale.

It's really flavorful that this card can cause Phylactery Lich to die, since Erebos most likely really hates liches (because they don't die like everyone else does).

Best art of the set, easily. Freakin' epic point of view. And a very powerful card.

Evidently Erebos gives his Dictates while watching Raves. Like you do.
Oh great, another damn Grave Pact to hose all my EDH decks that can't destroy enchantments. Butcher of Malakir was a fair card because it was a creature; this is not.
I'll take two, please.

Interesting, a less mana intensive Grave Pact in the block where the extra B could make a difference.

On a more serious note, fantastic card and well worth the conversion of 1 black mana into 2 colorless in return for flash.

Oh sure wizards. Give green, red, and blue the symmetric effects that take work to capitalize on. Give your favorites the sweet ridiculous in EDH ones.

Read the card it's opponent's not players. It's not Grave pack it's better.

Got one in foil, yes it's as badass as you'd think. Black and White dictates are the only good ones, the other ones help your opponent. This one is the best. Grave Pact is back! P.S. Like Grave Pact better because 1 less mana is a big deal. Sure this can be a trick but are you really going to hold 5 mana open until something happens where this is super value? I'd rather just cast it and keep playing.

This is a Jund EDH staple, right here. Oh? Throw away *** tokens I don't need to beef up my creatures AND practically boardwipe. Shit gets stupid if you run Prossh and top-deck this guy.

Also, black Commanders now have Grave Pact, Butcher of Malakir, and this. I'm scared.
