Grisly Spectacle

Black almost never gets to say "destroy target creature" without a clause that narrows it: no regeneration, can't be a black creature, only if it was dealt damage this turn. Here the only target restriction is the nonartifact rider, a small concession that mostly bites against equipment-wielding constructs and the occasional creature land, but it comes at a steep four mana with a double-black pip, a full tier above the format-defining black removal that came before and after it. The mill is the part the design is actually selling: the bigger the threat you kill, the more cards you strip off its controller, so the spell scales its incidental damage with the size of the problem it solves. That coupling is more elegant than it is impactful in practice, since milling a handful of cards off a topdeck-dependent opponent rarely changes a game and milling a graveyard-hungry one actively helps them. It reads as a card built to feel like value without paying for that value at the rate that matters, the way the best removal does. The result is a clean, honest piece of instant-speed interaction that asks too much mana for what it kills, and offers a rider that wants to be relevant more often than it is.
