This is the second most useful board sweeper to
date I think. Nevinyrral's Disk is pretty damn
good still and wipes out just about everything
as well. The only true limitation to Pernicious
Deed is its casting cost. And even that doesn't
stand out as a problem...just a minor
limitation.
Do I even have to say how awesome this card is?
Symmetrical or not, any card that can wipe out
"all" of anything are always worth looking at,
because there's always a deck that can produce
more of it than you. The flexibility of this
card, allowing you to potentially destroy
everything that bothers you but leave something
especially nasty of your own, makes this card
even more incredible. And the icing on the cake
is that it doesn't say "can't be regenerated"
and is black and green, the colors of
regeneration.

Pernicious Deed
From one of the lamest Land Sweepers of all
time, to one of the greatest board sweepers of
all time. Pernicious Deed is great anywhere you
play it. If you're in G/B and this is legal, it
goes in your deck. If you're in Green or Black,
you think about splashing for it. It stops
Affinity cold (did you know that Artifact Lands
count as artifacts with a cc of 0? Pernicious
Deed knows). Have you ever noticed where BDW's
mana curve caps out on its creatures? I think
Deed can help us there, too. Is that
Tinker/Colossus deck getting you down? Then
you'd better run something to follow the Deed
with. But everywhere else, it's great. Play it.
Constructed - 4.5 (because not every deck can
support it)
Casual - 5
Limited - 4.5

Pernicious Deed
This has always been a popular and powerful card
in the decks that can support it. It allows you
to clear the board, and even selectively do it
if you have enough mana and you have more
expensive permanents than they do. If you are
playing B/G and this card is legal, you had
better have a good reason to not play it.
In casual, this is a really fun multiplayer
card. If you're not interested in B/G, play Disk
instead.
In limited, it helps you control the board, and
therefore is great to have.
