Three mana and BB for single-creature removal is far behind Dismember (72) and Sheoldred's Edict (61); no credible competitive role is evident.

Could be wrong if A creature-centric black deck could value unconditional instant-speed removal despite its poor rate.

At three mana, this is much too slow versus Legacy removal such as Dismember (65) and Snuff Out (80), with no compensating utility.

Could be wrong if An unusual creature threat that evades cheaper removal could create a narrow sideboard need.

It cleanly kills any creature, but Cast Down (84) is usually the same job for one less mana; this lacks enough upside to displace it.

Could be wrong if A metagame unusually dense with legendary creatures or Cast Down-resistant targets could raise its sideboard value.

A serviceable mono-black answer, but it only hits creatures and compares poorly with broader three-mana removal like Beast Within (66).

Could be wrong if Creature-heavy optimized tables or unusually constrained mono-black lists could make simple unconditional removal more desirable.

Instant-speed unconditional creature removal for three mana is premium Limited interaction, especially with revealed creatures averaging mana value four.

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, black's color requirements, and unrevealed removal could materially alter its pick order.
