@@commandpower1987 Yeeeaaah... agreed. I think it's fairly straightforward. I've had Feed the Swarm in my hand in situations where using it would hurt me more than help. Particularly once the creature or enchantment's mana value was higher than my life total, when it literally becomes useless. I don't entirely like Withering Torment. Imo it'll be the most powerful enchant removal in black by a pretty wide margin. Like, 3 mana plus a measly 2 health (wtf!?!?!?!) at instant speed to kill any enchantment... in black??? I've been using cards like Debt to the Kami and some of the beholder creatures (Ghastly Death Tyrant, Baleful Beholder) as well as artifacts- and of course, Feed the Swarm. Black/Rakdos/Grixis players have had to get creative to get rid of enchantments (not just return them to hand), we've had to make sacrifices in terms of mana and/or life to get them off the table. This feels... not quite black to me. Or maybe it's a case of too much too fast- there should have been one or two more cards transitioning from Feed the Swarm to this before they took such a big jump in power.
Yeah I agree entirely. It feels more serious a color pie break than the other black cards that have dealt with enchantments. Very little downside. It is undoubtedly the most powerful one so far!
