Terror

Who would of thunk it? Wizards needed this card as a staple black removal card. The best one!!!!!

Hehe, 1b kills of almost anything that moves. it's not as powerful as chainers edict, but it's still a very nice removal spell

Quite possibly one of the greatest single creature detroyers ever made. A Staple in any black deck.

This is by far the best direct creature kill spell that I have ever seen! For only two mana, you can kill any creature, regardless of its mana cost or power/toughness level!! Plus, it is an instant! The only disadvantage is that you cannot kill black or artifact creatures with it. But don't let that stop you! If the theme of your deck is direct creature kill, then I recommend that you put in as many terrors as possible!!

A highly efficient creature removal spell. However with all the mono-black decks out there you may be sideboarding this. Drop a couple in your deck just in case.

Terror has since been obsoleted by Shriekmaw (LRW), an awesome black elemental that can be a Terror OR a Terror and a 3/2 with Fear for 3 more colorless. Terror is cheap and effective, but there are alternatives.
