Sweet card, taking out any potential threat without having to wait for it to tap (e.g. As-s-as-sinate; someone fix these censors) is great, unless of course the opponent is playing spirit creatures.

Awesome removal, and so easy to sideboard for Rend Spirit in the mirror. With a Long-Forgotten Gohei or two in play it just gets better.

A beautiful card and one that really helps Spiritcraft effects. For as long as your meta isn't changeling or spirit heavy, this WILL be a useful piece of tech.

The card says "destroy target non-spirit creature", but what it means is "destroy any creature you want".

You don't see very many spirits outside of Kamigawa block. They're there, but the restriction is often times non-existent.

Black removal without the "target non-black creature" in it is automatically good.

During Kamigawa: Good

After Kamigawa: OMFG RUN 4!

unmake is a lot better but this is still really good.

This is a bit of an oddity: A piece of removal that's better in constructed than limited without any sort of support necessary.

Incredible! So few spirit creatures in the game, I'm ordering 12 copies of this, goes in any none-standard deck with black.

AN amazing piece of removal that is essentially a license to kill almost everything. I run this in most of my black decks and always in EDH with colors permitting. Very good, very underrated.

This card has an extremely high rating for what it does. It is just a decent card unless you play with spiritcraft or splice onto arcane.

Now it simply reads: "Destroy target non-Kokusho creature."

Doesn't kill Spirit of the Hearth or Phantom Nishoba. I'd say it's pretty iffy, given how many spirits run around these days.

Artifact creature: "But I don't have flesh!"
Rend Flesh: "Don't care, rending anyway."

AND it's arcane. Y'know, cos it was worried not enough people would use it.

Also, that artwork is NASTY. Seriously, it's literally just grabbed him and shoved a talon through his entire torso. OW.

My favourite removal card of all time, from my favourite block of all time.

Essentially a more splashable Murder 99% of the time. I would put this over Doom Blade in EDH.

Destroy 6775/7271 creatures for 3 mana :)
