Destroy target non-black creature, then add BBB to your mana pool.
[flavor]

Pretty straightforward. It's slightly better than Dark Banishing, so costed likewise. Basicly, this is a good uncommon in any limited format, and could probably be common. I'm lost on a name and flavor text, so I'll leave that to the people who actually are creative Wink

Sounds good, because black creatures don't have souls. For flavor text, how about

Think it should be Non artifacts/none black creatures, since Deconstruct is only artifacts and it cost one more then naturlizes, which is both.

The artifact issue is something to consider whenever including the word "Soul" in the card name. Maybe "Extinguish Energy"? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Alternatively, the "nonartifact" provision could just be added.

I agree that it should not be able to destroy artifacts. As far as possible names go, I would suggest Ritual of Defilement or simply Defile

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll slap on non-artifact and take up Sylvan's name and Jacob's lovely flavor text.

@mods: do I have to wait to start the 24h clock, or is this straightforward and easy enough to start it?

The name is very weak. I liked that 'Defile' suggestion.
