Now obsolete due to Consume the Meek.

Yeah, I thought of this when I saw Consume the Meek too. Of course I have this in foil, and it looks absolutely awe inspiring.

You're all bad at this whole commenting thing.
Consume the Meek
And not obsoleted. You can run this in a B/W deck that uses cheap black regenerating creatures and forgo the chance that you get a mirror deck. 4/5

Also searchable with Glittering Wish. Just sayin'.

I think same arguments could be made about this card and Consume the Meek, just like Day of Judgment and Wrath of God. I think the key difference is the regeneration part, which could be utilized in a few ways.

Not strictly worse than Consume the Meek, but this is certainly less preferable. I'm sure Culling Sun was great when it was released, but nowadays, Consume the Meek is usually a better choice.

Am I the only one who loves the flavor text? I always liked the Orzhov.
I also completely agree that this is a consume alternative, not upgrade.

The flavor here is fantastic. If I was running Orzhov, I would take it simply for flavor reasons.

Besides allowing to you to regen your own creatures, which can easily be a big bonus in black, This can also be better than Consume the Week in decks that have other W/B cards such as Nightsky Mimc or Voracious Hatchling

Seems like from a flavor point of view, this should've prevented regeneration instead of Consume the Meek. I like this card and it pains me that it's been nearly obsoleted by Consume the Meek. Seems like WhiteBlack should be more effective at wrath than just Black, IMO. Plus WhiteBlack deserves more wrath in general.

Flavor text at its best.

Look, the problem is that no arguments can really justify this card. It was made shortly after Wrath of God continued it's reprint immortality and shortly before Damnation hit the seen and caused a ruckus. Therefore a Black AND White Wrath that does not kill everything is something that isn't right.

The problem was, they wanted it to be few mana cost, so they tried to make it closer to Wrath than to Plague Wind or Death Cloud. It really should have been a {3}{W}{W}{B}{B} at the least, and done something STUPID.


Merciless Eviction is really the only card that I can imagine in the "Orzhov's Wrath" spot, and it would have been inconcievable back then to make such a powerful Exiler that absolutely hoses so much of what existed back in those days. It still hoses a pretty big chunk of what exists now, but enough cards have been made since then that M.E. is fair in Modern and Legacy.

Well it certainly is a niche card, I'll give it that. However, there are more than a couple rascals at my kitchen table group who love their overkill tokens in EDH, and this takes care of that problem with ease.

now for +1cmc and a little less restrictive, we have Merciless Eviction.

You can run with a bunch of 4 cmc creatures, but Consume the Meek does it much better.
