Review of Slice of Twain *** Though green destruction cards are rare, this one still isn’t a great one.

The first thing that might occur to a reader is, “Why didn’t I rate this card lower?”  The answer is that the color green, if you are playing monocolor, is in short supply of cards that can get rid of opponents cards.  However, I do think green has better choices, such as Naturalize, which costs only 2 mana.  If you are being obstructed from attacking an opponent via an artifact or enchantment, and absolutely must get rid of it, I recommend aligning your cards to wipe out your opponent on the last turn, and then Naturalize his or her artifact or enchantment.  Thus, Naturalize is a last turn card in my opinion.  So, then, what is wrong with Slice in Twain?  The answer is its mana cost.  If you are removing a card, then you may want to play something else on your last turn.  Since, Naturalize costs 2 mana, it is likely that you will be able to do that.  However, with Slice of Twain, it is much less likely that you will be able to destroy the target artifact or enchantment and play another card at the same time because it costs more to play.  Also, as I said, Naturalize is to be thought of as a last turn card, such that one should not be thinking of drawing another card on their last turn in such a situation, as that would be pointless if your opponent is already dead.
