Tokens have a casting cost of 0. Deed for 0 or higher will destroy said tokens. Same for engineered explosives at 0.

Perdeed is the best activated board sweeper ever - better than the Disk, than Plague Boiler, Oblivion Stone, Powder Keg, you name it. Not only it's cheap, you can also activate it the turn you put it "ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD" (Magic 2010... sick) and you can also blow it up so that the opponent's cheap permanent will be destroyed and your cards not...

Against token decks this card is crazy!

When I played in tournaments at my store my foes would cringe because I ran this card and Yagmoth's Agenda and could pop it 8 times if I needed to. Keep some good old fashioned spirit mongers in and watch your opponents turn white.

This is what makes Rock a viable archetype. It clears away the board and easily recurrable with Eternal Witness. Nevinyrral's Disk being better than Deed is debatable. I prefer this since you pop it, keep a Spiritmonger or any fatty in play and swing with it. Only problem with it is it being very expensive.

play with four of these in my five color 1.5 sideboard. always seem to be using them much more than i want too so either i'm a bad deck builder or the metagame is speeding by too fast for me. that being said, these board clearers are much in the same mold as daddy 'nevinyrral's disk' and younger sibling 'oblivion stone.' the difference being the deuced awkward mana cost and the fact that its an enchantment. horrible artwork, and the foil doesn't improve on it much. never liked the alien looking type egg bomb or whatever and the "freyelise" character looks mucho crappio too. if you're going to mess with yawgmoth, then it should be something much more subtle or , in a different direction, much more impressive. still, can't deny what the card does for its money so i'd have to.....................highly recommend

Stops a weenie rush cold. And it does not cost a lot of mana. Its an enchantment, not a sorcery; you pay 1GB and then blow it for X later. In addition to being a force in Extended and having T2 Psychatog splash it while it was legal, it can be fun in multiplayer when you animate everyone's lands.

Great card, not quit a five but still iIve had my butt handed to me enough times before because of the deed to make me relize how good the card was.

This is an amazing card it was made for cards like spirit monger and river boa. This is one bad boy that makes ur opponent second thought every move he does if you get it out third turn I know that it has saved me a couple of times well I guess thats just me but ohhh well it rocks

The ability to regenerate is positive. spirit monger, river boa, spectral lynx... the effect is that their stuff dies, yours does not.

This is a superb card. Whilst its ability costs, it is, in many respects, a better card than Nevinyrral's Disk, as it can be controlled, leaving your huge critters out and destroying everything else.

One bad thing is that the creatures can be regenrated. This card is not good against my regeneration deck plus lifeline.

The coolest card for green and black.

Pernicious Deed is definitely turning out to be a chase rare for the Apocalypse set. It's board clearing ability has been compared to past cards such as Nevinnyral's Disk and Powder Keg, and rightly so. It's not quite as powerful as the disk, but I am sure it will find its way into a new deck archtype come this July. I've already got my 4, what are you waiting for?
