Man, Golgari is getting aggressive with their removal.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I´m glad they are making more cards showing people dying but I still want to see who´s dying from all of those sparks flying around, so far only 2 Planeswalkers have died
I think a lot more planeswalkers ended up on Ravnica than the 37 we're shown, and the majority of the casualties, the sparks we see in the trailer, belong to them. It seems more likely that a lot of the 'walkers shown in the set end up the survivors, dealing with the dozen to dozens of planeswalkers who perished all across Ravnica who we might never know.
So many Ravnican natives, and many 'walkers end up dead, even if we don't know who most of those individuals are.
But after all war casualties, we ended up having even more planeswalkers than we had before the War (plus four, minus three, plus one total).

Bad name for a black/green effect, as this fits much better on a red card.
Feeling is this should have been tri-color with red.
But it does what it does and its not particularly bad at that.
Its still a hell lot worse than a clean board sweeper that Black/Green "usually" gets.
Is it actually worse though? it is generally completely one-sided, or you can use it for death triggers or something. If it's really late and both players have a lot of stuff going on and the board is stalled (common in Golgari colors) then I would much rather see this than Damnation. it's expensive, but it's basically a finisher in and of itself

Cards don’t usually exile themselves unless they would be broken if recurred
(see Deliver Unto Evil).
I’m still sick of seeing Golgari get literally ALL the best removal,
but I’m sure I’ll use this anyway :-P
