Ghostly Visit

The "nonblack" clause is the whole tax on this otherwise generic destroy effect. Hard removal that destroys any creature at three mana has been a black staple since the earliest days of the game, but designers learned quickly that mono-black mirrors get miserable when the format's best removal also kills your own threats. Restricting the target to nonblack creatures is the cleanest way to thread that needle: it preserves black's identity as the color that murders things while quietly protecting black's own creatures, so the spell reads as a color-pie reward rather than a universal answer. The cost of that protection is real, since it dead-draws against an opposing black deck and clips a meaningful slice of the format's threats. That is the trade. Functionally this sits in the same lineage as the many "destroy target nonblack creature" effects black has cycled through over the years, a category that exists precisely because unconditional black removal at this price point tends to be too good. Nothing on the card is doing anything novel; it is a faithful reprint of a well-understood template, the kind of effect that fills out the removal slot in a black deck without warping anything around it.
