My Pick

[draft]murderous cut[/draft]

How do you evaluate Murderous Cut? Let’s see.

Development: Removal is so good to have in Limited and it doesn’t get much better than this. Now days 5 mana is a good cost for removal and you even have the option of playing Murderous Cut for less.

Parity: Top decking Murderous Cut spells the end of your opponents biggest threat or blocker. That could be enough to tip the scales.

Winning: Stay ahead by cutting the legs out from under your opponent’s blocker.

Losing: Destroying the biggest threat buys you time but you’ll still need board presence to turn the game around.
