I don’t think so. [[fell]] didn’t see play as a cleaner 2 mana kill spell. Exile maybe is enough but people really need the instant speed with all this prowess.
I think this probably makes some commander lists, especially ones that can make blight 1 a benefit. But I think standard will find the sorcery speed too cumbersome to overcome. I hope I’m wrong.
Banger but its sorcery so its soooo much worse. It becomes personal preference at that point, but ool doesnt struggle to remove creatures at sorcery speed with its counters. Instant speed matters too much to me for it to make it in my ool
Pretty solid for an [[eaten alive]] variant. Blight 1 is a much smaller cost than sacrifice a creature, the extra 1 mana isn't so bad, and the alternate cost is easier to splash. Plus there are both Blight synergies and death triggers in the set.
Two mana for an unconditional exile creature at common! Blight 1 is not a small additional cost, but it more than justifies the mana savings in my estimation, especially for how much incidental value you can get out of -1/-1 counters in this limited environment.
Turning it into a 5mv exile if you don't have a creature to blight is not the worst out, either, though certainly less ideal.
I feel good about it too, but I tend to like this type of spell. 2 mana is double the usual mana cost of B, but blight is kinda like partial sacrifice, so you can use the same creature multiple times for blight costs.
A two-mana unconditional creature exile effect with a very small extra cost is an incredible rate for limited, and a -1/-1 counter is way less of a cost than sacrificing a creature (especially in a counters matter format) to make it comparable to black's one mana kill spells. You don't usually get this kind of effect for three mana let alone one.
Sorcery speed and creature only makes this a pretty big step down from [[Ride's End]], but it's still a solid removal spell and has a much easier to pay discount condition.
Notably, though, it always gets countered by [[Spell Snare]], regardless of how you pay for it.
SADGE but i do think this is actually playable

Some casual Auntie Ool lists might play it tbh, 2 mana is the standard for removal in Jund commander decks

I think it will see play in sideboards. Sometimes the exile really matters.
Exile is extremely relevant in standard these days. I think this might see play
There are a bunch of one and two mana black destroy/exile + set mechanic sorcery cards. Very playable in limited, basically useless for constructed.
[[Final Vengance]]
[[Eaten Alive]]
[[Worthy Cost]]
etc
These all require a bigger cost, sacrificing a creature, blighting is a lot less worse
In fact, some decks can basically blight for free or even small benefits

SADGE?
Meme-speak for sad
brainrot for "Sorcery Art Depicts Goblin Exile"
If I got killed by something called a bogslither idk how I could live with myself.
Well you really wouldn't, right?
you'd have to leave town. that's why it exiles
slitherblade’s cousin?
least slitherblade isn't a hugger
Is this playable in Auntie Ool? It's sorcery speed but 2 mana exile removal in black that blights might be good enough?

Blight 1 is such a small price to pay.
It’s not even a price in some decks, given the synergies we’ve seen.

“unconditional”
Are we reading the same card?
Conditional usually means something like "non-black" or "non-outlaw". This exiles everything its pointed at.
I guess I see the ‘2 mana’ part as conditional
I feel like this is a strong limited card
I feel good about it too, but I tend to like this type of spell. 2 mana is double the usual mana cost of B, but blight is kinda like partial sacrifice, so you can use the same creature multiple times for blight costs.
I most want to try the WB blight value deck.
There's also enough creatures in the set that spend -1/-1 tokens that Blighting can almost be an upside in the right deck.

I feel like this card at common is going to define the format
I initially read that as Bogshitter's Embrace... I would rather not be embraced by the bogshitter...
With both this and [[Auntie’s Sentence]] at common, black is gonna be absolutely crazy in limited

Remains to see how "free" blighting is, but this could be quite good
Seems alright. Play in a deck that abuses -1/-1 counters and it is great.
Too many creature lands to run sorcery speed kill spells in standard these days unfortunately
Limited bomb?
Sure its a sorcery but Blight 1 is basically nothing in a lot of cases. I'd be shocked if this wasn't a great card in some format.
Exile in black?
Sorcery speed and creature only makes this a pretty big step down from [[Ride's End]], but it's still a solid removal spell and has a much easier to pay discount condition.
Notably, though, it always gets countered by [[Spell Snare]], regardless of how you pay for it.
