Bane of the Living

A lifesaver. If the board is getting swarmed, bust one of these out and it'll clear the board for you. If playing against non-tokens, throw in Mortivore after this for the clean up crew. Bane of the Living is quite literally a trump card in many situations, as very few things can survive it's morph effect late-game. If it comes down to it, clear a path for Bane of the Living, because he'll clear the path for the rest of your cards.

fun card to use against indestructables

use cloudpost for X, if you have 4 in play you can drop everything -16. As to the Akroma stament, She has protection from black, doesnt that protect her from the ability?

A 4/3 for four mana, nice. But throw in the ability to kill any weakling in its path, awesome!

Bane of the Living gets a 5 in my book, it's one of the few, and I mean few, black cards able to remove Akroma from play. Any and every black deck should run this card, at least on the sideboard.

CAN YOU SAY MUTILATE, packed quaintly into a morphed creature.

To the guy just above this, I could bearly understand your coments And Akroma has pro black so all the spells you mentiond can Not target her. To the question about Pro Black, Since Bane of the Livving dosen't target Akroma She will suffer its affects. Pro black means black sourses can't target it and damage from black sourses prevented.

NO IT DOESN'T; protection from black means she has a built-in circle of protection: Black without the mana and plus; Bane of living's ability doesn't deal daamage, it deals what I call "sickness". and for the other guy's referance; there are plenty of cards that can kill Akroma just to name a few: Befoul, Dark Banishing, Rend Flesh, Hand of Death...

Excellent card, but to give everything -4/-4 or higher is a little pricey, and it kills its self. Still an excellent card however.

This card is one of the best because it helps you alot in tight spots of the game.
