So, mono B finally gets their sweeper. Should we be worried?

Nope, Bx should have DD, Spectors, pact rats and/or Gary at that point - sweeping on T6 isn't what they want.

Don't think this goes in MB Devotion, but it's something that will probably dominate future standard formats and can at least be built around. A golgari deck running courser and herald of torment?
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

Beatdown is hard, though.

one sided wraths are good if you can accomplish them in the metagame. I think the success of this card will hinge on what/how many enchantment creatures are run in the top decks

nighthowler, baleful eidolon, and boon satyr come to mind as possible cards for that deck. another option would be going WB and including eidolon of countless battles, hero of iroas, and maybe spiteful returned? BW aggro with a one sided wrath seems decent?

I'm gonna take the wussy approach and say this card may be playable in the certain meta in the correct deck which may or may not include more than one deck

Covered most of my bases, sick.

OT: sick another board wipe for that edh deck I'm never gonna build

My only worry is that we'll never get a Damnation reprint.

The flavor on this card is all fucking wrong. "You have no hope... unless you're playing with any of a number of cards from this very world, including the gods who made this decree!" Plus, way to not even give us Dante fanboys a reference to use in our games, MaRo. :/

Other 6+ cc wrath effects see play albeit with benefits beyond "sometimes your opponents creatures don't die."

I would put money on this being a sideboard card since they've steadily been pushing up the text on enchantment creatures each set this block. That said, Scry Infest and Bile Blight exist, don't cost 6, and can kill enchantment creatures. So sideboard is a pretty high bar as a baseline.
