While this card is on your field, all of your lands will untap and free you up for interrupts and other Instants during your opponents plays
Effectively serving as spot removal, this black instant could end up sneaking higher on the list if a shell is built around it to include benefits of sacrificing your black creatures to it
Other players, including the one who cast it, can attack it with their creatures in much the same way you can attack Planeswalkers
For legendary creature-focused decks, the front side tends to be better whereas more open decks and planeswalker ones the backside is better
