I like this card a lot. I had a Sygg, River Cutthroat Commander deck built once and I had kind of a tough time finding kill spells that weren't too expensive. I have a feeling that this will often be BB which means it will often be better than Victim of Night, Walk the Plank, and Cast Down (kind of; the 2 black is still tougher than 1B but being able to hit opposing Commanders is big). My first comparison was to Malicious Affliction and while it can't get another copy, it can hit anything.
I don't run a lot of spot removal in my decks, and the ones I do run generally do more than "just" destroy a creature. But if I ever put Sygg back together, I think I could find a place for it. And I am already looking forward to building a Standard Mono-B deck with this in it.
premium removal for standard at uncommon.
this will most likely be extensively played on standard, probably as a 4of in every deck that runs a good quantity of black permanents.
oh HECK yes! unconditional kill basically if HAVE a board in monoblack. EDH for sure, maybe even Modern. it always feels like Monoblack devotion is almost there

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
That's actually saintly good. As most people have mentioned getting BB out is really not that hard and a 2 mana unconditional removal spell is pretty spicy.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Good for Pioneer for sure. (Mono black lists of course)

Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)

I wonder if the resulting Standard environment will have most non-monoblack decks have enough devotion to make this cost BB
