All of you are singing praises to WotC right now, but you're not thinking about the unfair competitive edge black has just gotten. As if black wasn't powerful enough (with card draw, single creature destruction, discard, cheap fat demons, crazy mana acceleration, COUNTERSPELL (when PC comes in)), it now gets white's most powerful, lethal weapon. This is just going too unfair. White needs Wrath so bad, black doesn't, black has everything it needs. Damnit wizards, the other colors better be getting these great boosts as well.
Just when you thought that black was dead, along comes what it needed the most. Makes Mutilate almost obsolete.

Um, black was a no-show at Worlds. No top 8 deck had that color. This just makes monoblack more powerful and might have minimal effect on multicolored cards.
finally. now they could take wrath out of the core set in place for damnation. creature destruction has always been black anyway. wrath of god never really made any sense.
If anyone knows why G0-DRAW was banned I would love it if they would PM me. That guy was pure entertainment 100% of the time. Plus he never publicly responded to his Contraptions "Proof" that never panned out.
wizards have been asked for years why *** is was not black. They always had to do some weak defensive logic to justify it. Something about white balancing out power. Wrath is almost never balanced. It seems to be one of the more appropriate for the time-shifted.
WEEEEEEE!!!!!! we got a black creature destruction card that doesnt cost 9 to play!!!! IT IS AWSOME YET I ONT WANT ANYONE IIM PLAYING AGAINST USING IT ON ME!!!!!!! and they've changed the black part inbetween the border and the center!!!
hmm, wizards goes and makes a card strictly better in black than mutilate. interesting...it might even make it into my pox deck despite costing four mana.
Actually, since mutilate causes a -X/-X effect, it can kill indestructible creatures. Damnation can't do that of course, so it's not strictly better.
OMG!
as if solar flare didn't win enough...
is that the white card frame in black??!!

Spread the word.
Please, accept that Magic costs money to play, and drop it. A playset of Baneslayers>playset of duals. New Jace>Force of Will. Etc... Not to mention, Legacy is so wide open, that it's easy to build a deck that can perform reasonably well without very many "money staples" at all.
I think zoo and other aggro might just be dead, with w/b control possessing 8 wrath effects. It won't help my poor goblins either, I'll have to find another rogue deck :(. But I love the art, and I'm getting 2 boxes of PC now, this card will be so pupular, I gotta get some to trade.
This is good but it reminds me of psi blast. What deck would play this card that wouldn't/couldn't play ***? I dont think you really want 8 in your deck. I could see a good B/W control deck that sides in more wrath v. aggro but I dont see running more than 5 total in the main.
Thanks for the Banner R&Doom! Thanks for the Avatar A_Passer_Bye!

Simple answer?
No.
This is a single time Color Bleed to be big and flashy.
Wrath is in color, in flavor and has been in every core set since magic was made.
No.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

This is....absolutely amazing
The color pie has officially been thrown out the window. I thought I saw weird things when we had TS Rumor Season.
As for the card itself, there is no question as to whether or not this card is good.
This will be in just about any Control deck that runs black.
I honestly cannot get over that this card is going to be printed.

This has to be as a result of being Planeshifted.
As for Wrath going away, regardless, it is around for at least another year and in Extended both are going to be together for years to come.
Can U/B Battle of Wits become viable now?

I have a feeling that Damnation will be the one that ends up fading away once the TS block rotates out of Standard.
