"Destroy Target Black Creature"?

Standard forum

Hi Y'all,

I am returning to Magic after many years, and I am trying to build a sideboard for my new deck. I have Doom Blade , but I would like to complement that with a similar card that targets black creatures (using U and/or B mana). Does such a card exist in standard?

Dark Betrayal is what you are looking for :)

Ultimate Price also a good option assuming you need a sideboard card to replace DB with.

Thanks guys. I knew there had to be one out there. I searched "destroy target black creature" on Google and on a couple MTG website but came up empty. I am running a Dimir Mill deck and I am trying to pare down the amount of creatures (I had 15, now I am at 12), but if I am doing that, then I need some control cards. Once I get a read on the deck I am playing, I can sub out some more expensive counter cards (at 2-4 CMC) and put in some 1 CMC stuff. I am thinking Doom Blade , Annul and Dark Betrayal are just as good as Essence Scatter , Negate or Cancel but come cheaper.

You can click 'advanced' over the search bar and then in the box next to 'rules text' type what you want. Then click search - done!

You can also type 'standard' in the box next to 'format' and it will only you show cards that are currently in standard.

Have fun :)

You can also select the "text" box and uncheck the "name" box and type in the text you want to find.
