Yay more black ****. When are we going to see some realistic ways to fight against B/x decks that don't go into B/x decks? They're already all over the damn place. If they had printed a black doj or reprinted damnation id have quit standard until rotation at least.
So ready for bloodbaron and desecration demon to rotate pack rat and mutavault is just gravy.

better infest at uncommon is good.
Buy lots of BnG boxes everyone, support the original product and the real makers, this set is really good in terms of playable uncommons.

Black really really really needed more removal to be viable /sarcasm
Really, this is a step too far, looks like against mono black the card I'll side out is voyaging saytr, because I can BTE into sylvan on the play and still try get in for 2 damage. And I guess it stops them ratting turn one or two, giving me chance to set up creatures.
It's kind of underwhelming given all the expectation, but it works for me as I was looking for a way to deal with multiple weenies (mostly Pack Rat, Burning-Tree Emissary chains and Precinct Captain) in Orzhov. All I wanted was Infest, so Infest + scry obviously pleases me, and the fact that it's uncommon makes it better as I will be very easy to acquire them.
As much as I love Pack Rat, I'll be glad to see it die. Hopefully, this card will help pave the way for an MBC deck that feels more like the old Corrupter style of MBC.
That art is really really impressive. Black's art in general has been amazing for Born of the Gods.
agreed! as much as some of the overworld Theros art is lame to me, I love the underworld and returned SO MUCH.
This card is awesome, but I do feel a little bad for people who psyched themselves out expecting 1BBdestroy all creatures! haha jk
Cancel was replaced by Dissipate years before Cancel was even printed you doughnut.
yea you doughnut hahahahaha makes me laugh when people miss older printings of cards.
"Hey did you see this new card in the commander precon decks, its called Sol Ring, its so busted amirite?!"
This seriously came out of a less experienced friends mouth, and I wanted to shun him but knew it wasnt his fault and used it as a teaching moment
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.
I knew it! It had to be -2/-2, and either benefitted from a reduced mana cost, had it's speed upgraded to instant, or had scry tacked on. Any increase on the -2/-2 would not make it "strictly better" since it affects all creatures.
Anybody who expected Damnation as the "Strictly better Infest" obviously doesn't understand the concept of "strictly better" at all.
I don't rule out another Black Sweeper in the set completely though, as unlikely as that would be now.
That's interesting. As a UW Control player I am intrigued.
Not because I'd splash for it, but because MonoB now has a powerful weapon against a strong enemy - fast aggro. I hope it's enough to finally push White Weenie, Barely Boros, Rakdos Aggro and RDW out, so I can prey on the MonoB lists (which hopefully sacrifice some spots in MD and SB for a playset of Scryfest)
Same thing for me! Any card that is strong against weenie strategies is a plus in my book, even if I can't play it!
You played JESUS?!?! I heard none of his guys stay in the graveyard, and once you think you have him beat he ALWAYS comes back to win within three turns. I like...WORSHIP him.
Well, I have to say I was duped both times by this "Black Sweeper" that kept reappearing in my MTG life. First I had heard word of a "Black Sweeper" from this spoiled card list, which was proven to be fake. Additionally, I found a picture on the internet the other day that also proved to be a fake "Better Infest". Both times I was duped, but I have to say I guess I am glad to finally see what this thing actually is.
I'm not dissappointed. Sure, I would have loved Damnation, but this card works well for me. It's a strictly better Infest.
wtf is this woc.... where's the damnation reprint...
Black isn't supposed to get sweepers than good, and if white can't have Wrath of God then Black definitely isn't getting Damnation. People can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that the color pie was all screwed up in Time Spiral. additionally, it would do bad things to the metagame given the prevalence of mono-black.
Cancel was replaced by Dissipate years before Cancel was even printed you doughnut.
I know we're not supposed to call each other names or support such behavior, but this coming from someone with a Homer Simpson avatar was too funny. Are you really calling him sweet and tasty?

Wouldn't get your hopes up that MonoB would weaken against you in a significant manner to make room for scryfest. At best they lose 2 ways to deal with a mutavault in the main deck and 2 more ways in the board that they weren't bringing in against you anyway.

While you are correct that the thinking at Wizards during Time Spiral was that Damnation was out of color, Maro has told us that their thinking has shifted since then on that subject. I do agree that we likely won't get Damnation outside of a MMA or commander product, but don't be surprised when black gets its Day of Judgement clone.
This card is very good for sideboard.
I don't like Pyroclasm, because it is CMC 2 = too fast. But with the power level of creatures raising, just few creatures have toughness 2 (but burn decks and other fast aggro decks).
This one is fairer and remove creatures that regenerate, protections and other protective abilities

if it's somehow a creature on your turn. Unfortunately, it's not an instant.
Moreover, it has a beautiful art.
Sigh, at least I don't need to worry about this until after the PTQ i'm getting ready for.

I'm now curious as to what the black Fated card is, though that's for another thread. Instant-speed reanimator? Hmm...

Because that's what black does?

I guess it is a 'strictly better' version of Infest, but I was thinking they'd add a little more than "herpderp what's my next card?".
What going on with Black Fated cycle card?: Discard?, Reanimation?. Really doubt about more removalesque cards.
