This is just the worst, Chainer's Edict is leaps and bounds better than this spell.
It's played out worse than Doom Blade for me so I would expect it to be worse than this spell as well. The flashback very rarely matters so it's usually just a worse Diabolic Edict. Nobody plays Cruel Edict even at large sizes so I'm not seeing why Chainer's Edict is a very important card.

The flashback has never been too relevant for me either. It only seems to matter in control mirrors. Frankly, Chainer's Edict has been pretty disappointing for me considering how much love I saw it getting on the forums before I built my cube (and since). It's my least favorite 2cc removal spell.
That being said, I'm still keeping it over Price since Chainer's Edict fills its niche well.
Depending on which swaps I make in the near future, either Doom Blade or Ultimate Price kills one or two creatures more in my cube. I guess I keep the Blade. Though maybe I could find a way to fit in Price, too, at 600...
It kills 10~ cards more in my cube then doomblade. I think it probably better than doomblade, but I don't think I'll include it since doomblade is the opposite of go for the throat where this card is a strictly worse go for the throat. At least doomblade gives me options. Maybe I'll replace victim of the night with it now that im including black aggro (zombies). Still victim is really strong. I'll have to test.
