A Hero's Downfall variant that lets you get rid of pesky planeswalkers (Jasnah). Flavorfully, it represents killing a creature or a surgebinder who doesn't have enough stormlight to protect themselves. Specifically, this is when Nalan kills Ym.

Uhm, yeah, but this is a strictly better Hero's Downfall - that doesn't feel right. If Downfall is a Murder+ maybe this could be like Oblivion Strike+? So {3}{b} and sorcery?

EDIT: Admittedly {3}{b} sorcery isn't exciting when compared to cards like Gild or Sever the Bloodline. So maybe instant but with a cost like {3}{b}, {2}{b}{b}, or {b}{b}{b}.

I guess I was thinking of it as a small upgrade. Could see changing it to sorcery.

Or like: Destroy target creature or exile target planeswalker.

The point of making it exile was to be able to get rid of (((Jasnah the Heretic))), whose schtick is that she's hard to get rid of.

Given the intended power level of the set, I think Hero's Downfall+ is okay.

We are getting Hero's Downfall + Lose 2 life at {2}{b}{b} next set at instant, so if you want to depower it, go for that cost.

This card is instantly playable though, and I would be happy to include this in any deck that has enough Black in it.
