Essence Vortex (ICE 287) is an uncommon instant from the Ice Age set that requires one blue and one black mana among its cost. It forces an opponent to pay life equal to a target creature’s toughness or have that creature destroyed, and creatures destroyed this way cannot be regenerated. Its hybrid blue-black identity makes it useful in decks that can afford both colors and want a versatile removal option that interacts with life totals.
