But black doesn't destroy artifacts or enchantments.

But colorless cards do: Spine of Ish Sah, Argentum Armor, Engineered Explosives, Lux Cannon, Perilous Vault, Plague Boiler, Ratchet Bomb, Ugin... What, do I need to make it only if no {b} was spent to cast it? Not that I mind making it a fully colorless card either.

Also black most definitely destroy lands: Spiteful Blow, Brink of Disaster, Destroy the Evidence, Polluted Dead, Maw of the Mire, Desecrated Earth... Though I did actually meant for the card to say "target colored permanent". I assume you meant enchantments?

was meant ot be colored only

I meant "enchantments. I'm not sure why I typed "lands" before.

Generally though I'm still happy with this design because the card remains colorless as opposed to monoblack, and more important, I'm not making it any easier for a monoblack deck to destroy these permanents than it would already be.

Well, if Flame Javelin & co. are fair, then I would suppose this is. Though, I must admit, it does mess with the head.

If anything this debate tells me the card would make for a nice splashy myhtic.

demons don't NEED to have flying, and that makes me feel better about going to 5/5

I agree with Link. I'd be fine with this at {8} for mythic, but not for {6}{2/b}. In the same way that I'd be fine with Disrupting Scepter, but not with one that cost {2}{w} or {2}{2/w} to cast. Yes, white decks can use Disrupting Scepter to get discard, but that doesn't mean there should be a white card that makes people discard. In the same way, yes, black decks can use colourless cards to get to shoot permanents, but there shouldn't be a black card that does it.

This card complicates matters slightly more by having the anti-colour-indicator. But still, I'd be much happier with this line of rules text on a card costing {8} than one costing {6}{2/b}.

(Perhaps alternatively {4}{2/w}{2/b} or {4}{2/b}{2/g} would be okay as well. Haven't considered those options in detail.)
