Then have him eat Nicol Bolas and the Magic universe can be awesome again. He takes over the Infinite Consortium and turns it into a trans-multiverse Izzet League. His agents scour the multiverse in Venser's planeships looking for magic to learn, technology to improve upon, and less intelligent people to condescend to.

I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
So, we just swap Doomblades in when someone is playing artifact aggro or affinity. This has to make mono black very well rounded at this stage, especially with Black Sun's Zenith.

Favoritest name for a removal spell. EVER. neck snap is close, but not really.
Wish this was Phyrexian though

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Your expectations are ridiculous. This is likely the best black removal spell ever printed. Black gets 1 cost removal occasionally (Vendetta, Ghastly Demise) but it usually has the nonblack restriction. This does not have that, and is RIDICULOUSLY good at 2 mana.
One of the best fits of name to ability ever. One of those "so simple and obvious, why hasn't it been done before?" cards, which is great. And the answer that it could only be done in an artifact-heavy block. Well done!

If you think this removal is so good please tell me why swords to plowshares and path to exile exist. Black should have the best removal, not white.
Something like this should exist in Legacy:
B, instant: destroy target creature. its controller gains life equal to its converted mana cost.
Seriously .. Why do people think this is ridiculous and "pushing it" ? Black should be the best at removal . NOT white . Please compare Doom Blade and Go for the Throat to Path to Exile -- They're strictly inferior to the latter. Destroy VS Remove. 2 CC VS 1 CC. Restrictions VS NO restrictions.
Really ? What has black become ? What happened to the days when B was dominating like no tomorrow ? Yawgmoth's Will? Necropotence? Diabolic Edict ? Dark Ritual ? Demonic Tutor ? Even Damnation and Dark Confidant ?
Seriously, there has been a time before UB became popular that Black wasn't seen in standard AT ALL. I read through all Top 8 deck lists, the only "Black" card they played is Bojuka Bog in side board. Really ? What has the mightiest of colors become?
I welcome Wizards for doing this. This is just a mere good start though. Black needs a comeback.
The sparkmage shrieked, calling on the rage of the storms of his youth.
To his surprise, the sky responded with a fierce energy he'd never thought to see again.
Thats about it wurmcoil engine the only only arguement to its not gonna replace doom blade. Honestly i'd be more worried about a grave titan than a engine. Not to mention thishelps a lot vs vampires.
Tell me what artifact creatures from besieged are you scared of because im having a hard time finding anything remotely scarry besides maybe the pithing needle dude.
This card is amazing and way better than doom blade outside of limited. Awesome art awesome flavor text and something i'll be using for years after this set rotates out
"I'm gonna Throat your Titan."
It comes to a crashing halt against Esper.
...All right, so it'll dominate almost everyone else.
I suspect that if I played black competitively, I'd want about seven.

That's exactly what I said. That's why I'm going to say;
"I'm gonna Goat your Titan."

Swords is still better but not by a wide margin.
No no no... the correct term is going to be " I'm gonna MacGruber your grave titan"
