Fatal Grudge (SNC)

Fatal Grudge
Casting Cost: {B}{R}
Card Type: Sorcery
Card Text:

• As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a nonland permanent.
• Each opponent chooses a permanent they control that shares a type with the sacrificed permanent and sacrifices it.
• Draw a card.
  Artist: Cristi Balanescu

Strengths:

• Selective Removal: This card allows you to effectively remove a permanent of your choice from each opponent, assuming they have one that matches the type of the one you sacrificed.
• Card Draw: Drawing a card as part of the effect mitigates the loss from the initial sacrifice.

Weaknesses:

• Self-Sacrifice: You must sacrifice a nonland permanent as an additional casting cost, which may not always be advantageous.
• Opponent's Choice: The opponent gets to choose which permanent to sacrifice, making the removal less targeted.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Would fit well in a Rakdos (Black-Red) sacrifice strategy where you’re already looking to gain value from sacrificing your own permanents.
• Could be a tool in a Commander deck that manipulates the board and benefits from both sacrificing own permanents and removing opponent's permanents.

Flavor and Art:

• The flavor text and art give the impression of a dark, vengeful spell, aligning well with the sacrifice theme.

Overall Impression:

• Fatal Grudge is a situational card that can be highly effective in the right deck. The requirement to sacrifice a permanent can be a drawback, but in a deck built to exploit this, it could offer both selective removal and card advantage.
