Burning Inquiry
Modern forum

I was doing a little research and I haven't really been able to find what I am looking for. I was wondering if you guys had some black cards that do damage without the "target player function." Similar effects to Melt Terrain Something you would recommend for Modern play. Something cheap in mana cost or expensive it doesn't matter. Spells or creatures. I'm just looking to have fun ;)
Black does have "looses life" though. Maybe something like Hideous End?

Something similar to Hideous End and Rakdos Charm I don't mind red black recommendations either. Destroying one's creature whilst doing damage is a dark ploy tho.

No, the spells must do damage without requiring the "target player" function.

Nothing in black will do direct damage without targeting

Also anything with extort (Example : Crypt Ghast)
None of these target and they do the equivalent of dealing damage to an opponent without actually targeting since it says "each opponent"

Oh the goodies! Thats a nice list VampireArmy I have also found Leechridden Swamp which I find interesting. So some black permanents will be nice to add. I really like that Mardu Shadowspear I'll check out creatures with the extort ability for sure too!! :)

Pulse Tracker is along the same line as Mardu Shadowspear

Mardu Shadowspear looks like it can go in for the kill quicker. I like it better thanks for the heads up tho.

So I've taken all these suggestions and built a deck I am going to use in modern. It's a Rakdos burn. Bloodbather's Burn

I tried doing the same thing but it sucks. U can check for ideas though. Self Inflicted Injury honestly though it's cheaper and more effective to just build burn.

Black cards generally don't deal damage. They give -1/-1 or destroy or force sacrifices. Dealing damage with instants/sorceries is generally reserved for red.
