A new BNG card was spoiled and it is this:

I think this card is very good in sideboard against fast decks like RDW and other weenie decks.Any ideas?

It's a very nice card, 1-shot Zenith effect which is more efficient, is strictly better than Infest , and is uncommon??

Tasty Black goodness.

Because MBD wasn't good enough yet.

I mean, it's not the Damnation reprint everyone was hoping for. But it's pretty close.

Ouch... Screws monored/white a whole turn earlier then verdict.

Ugh how I hate control.

I also want to point out that everything MBD plays is x/3 except for a lowly packrat or 2 meaning it can be almost entirely 1 sided.

Precisely what my deck needs right now. Love it. Great flavor. weenies, tremble.

when I was hearing rumors that there would be a "strictly better Infest " I imagined an instant speed Infest, and was dreading this card because it kills off a majority of my Boros Aggro deck. It's not quite as scary now but I don't think I'm gonna have a boardstate for very long against Esper and Mono-Black now.

...Guess I should play Orzhov Humans! Where I don't give a hoot if my dudes bites the dust.

I fell happy about this card because the only weenie kill card i have for my sideboard is Shrivel and it don't hit Ash Zealot or Rakdos Cackler for example.

Sweet, upgraded infest. which in modern is often a board wipe. I think I may go a head and order a box of this set.

Oh Mono-Blue, how will we ever recover from this.

@CW:

Why is that? Frostburn Weird , Nightveil Specter , and Thassa, God of the Sea do not care about this card. Yes it hurts the rest of it, but you can sink your mana into a Frostburn Weird to keep up the damage

harrydemon117, they have specific targets for Doom Blade and Hero's Downfall now, what do they care if I just put down 50 2/1 elementals when they can just poof em all the turn before they attack.

Judge's Familiar , Tidebinder Mage , Master of Waves , and late Cloudfin Raptor s get taken out, plus if I give em any 3/3 frogs with Rapid Hybridization they can start swinging after my threats have been wiped away.

Game over man, Game Over.

When I read this card I thought to myself, well... Mono blue dev is fucked. Lol.

The one bit of consolation for Weenie decks is that this card isn't going to see any mainboard play In MBD or Esper, so you can still steal a match.
