I'm so glad black is getting some love. This is perfectly costed. Murder was playing it way too safe, imo. I like the name, too. If you're the bad guy, you might as well ham it up and admit you're killing the heroes sent to defeat you.
I am not a fan of the art, though. Some alter ideas are already coming to mind. Jason Todd, Gandalf, Aerith, Vader... It's just begging for an awesome death scene to be painted on it.
I'd run this even if the power level in a vacuum is worse than some other removal spells. Planeswalker overload gets to be a problem in cube, and the only way for black to deal with them right now is to splash. If Dreadbore was good enough to make it in a stacked multicolor section, this certainly is, and mono-black will greatly appreciate the utility.
I may run two of these, especially as planeswalkers become more prominent in cube with so many new ones getting made all the time. Good way to shore up black, if a bit expensive.
Very happy that black is getting answers for planeswalkers. Black being weak to artifacts / enchantments is big enough drawback. I will definitely put this in. Not sure what's the cut yet, might actually be Doom Blade.

So does it mean that this card dies to Doom Blade?
This is not a card I ever thought we'd get to see. I guess since black doesn't get to deal with enchantments it gets snap planeswalker removal. Cool beans.
I foresee less people complaining about blacks powerlevel in cube in the near future.
It might even be linked with less people complaining about planeswalkers overpowering their cube.
Hits just about every creature, all walkers, and at instant speed. I think we're all VERY happy about this card, it's probably a staple.
Just wish it's name Murder. Well, the name here is pretty good too.

EDIT: The art could have been a little more epic. This looks like a minotaur just stepped on him by accident.
Worse than the 187 guys, probably worse than Blade and Throat but after that I'm not sure.

Just what the doctor ordered! I was hoping for another PW bullet, but not expecting one so soon after Dreadbore.

I can see this as an FNM foil at some point.
