Removal versus Indestructible
Standard forum

Mutilate , Sever the Bloodline , in some cases Auger Spree ... in the suite of Black/Red, what else do you find is useful for eliminating an Indestructible threat?

Tragic Slip works wonders, so does Terminus and something like Totally Lost or Angelic Edict .

opps black red... i guess only Tragic Slip akes sense there.. but it is the best of them all. i don;t know if Pillar of Flame would work, probably not.

Lol. just noticed that too. Mostly then Merciless Eviction if you wanna splash white or Tragic Slip . Cower in Fear might be able to work sometimes. lol

Yeah, I know other options are limited in red and black. I might just have to cope.
Tragic Slip I can use.

You can always Act of Treason or Zealous Conscripts and sacrifice it with Falkenrath Aristocrat
Otherwise you can force them to sacrifice it with : Devour Flesh , Barter in Blood , Tribute to Hunger

Act of Treason isn't a bad idea.
I'm actually leaning towards Auger Spree as it goes on instant speed and deals with most threats I'll see at my LGS.

Mutilate ? It would work, but it would hit your creatures too.

Would work, but wouldn't be my first choice. Double black is too dense to be reliable in my primarily red deck, and I have too few Lands that count as Swamps for it to be consistently effective as a sweeper. Plus, I like the Instant speed of Auger Spree , if I need it that fast. There have been times I wished I had more of that. Come to think of it, I wish for that every time it's not my turn.

If you used it in combo with a Prophetic Prism or Chromatic Lantern, and the indestructible isn't human, Bonds of Faith is a good paralysis card

Liliana of the Dark Realms = mutilate for single target, but can also give your creatures a buff.
Liliana of the Veil = assured removal... unfortunately, it's your opponents choice. Still great though.
Rix Maadi Guildmage can be removal of smaller creatures, but also works as evasion (opponent may not want to block), and has direct damage built in.
Stab Wound works as removal for smaller creatures, while punishing your opponent for having larger ones.
Cower in Fear is good if their creatures are small... (early Predator Ooze or a Stuffy Doll)
...and one of my favorites Dark Impostor

Dead Weight if you're looking for super low CMC. Works well for me against Ash Zealot in RDW matches.
