This spell is very interesting, but weaker than previous cards. Compaired to Mindkiller (56/UD), it is more limited in most ways. Mindkiller could send any champion to the Abyss in phases 3 & 4. Unholy Word is more restricted that Mindkiller, in that it only works against heroes. The only advantage Unholy Word has over Mindkiller is that the hero goes to the Abyss, regardless of any special powers (including spell immunity). This last factor makes it worth considering.
The most worth targets of this spell (the most annoying heros) include: Marco Volo (50/1st), Hettman Tsurin (172/1st), Tithian (301/1st), Lovely Colleen (22/1st-chase), Tasslehoff Burrfoot (39/DL), Helm (89/FR), Cyric (92/FR), Ethereal Champion (508/4th), Etarkine (31/IQ), or Gib Ergo (32/IQ). A deck focused on spells that see these heroes usually used against it would be wise to carry this spell.
Unholy Word will often be found in fun decks, and in a few tournament decks that are sick of seeing these heroes used against it often.
