And in how many popular decklists from Pre-Lorwyn Standard did you see Absolver Thrull in?  |

I’m talking anything that kills enchantments, or permanents. Neck Snap is an instant, meaning that it kills it dead, not kills it until you’re enchantment gets killed.
Plus, it stinks vs Magus of the Disk. Because once you’ve got a couple Oblivion Rings out, they wipe the board completely. Oh, oops, not completely, they’ve got some huge beaters that suddenly enter play. 
Although Oblivion Ring does take care of Indestructible creatures, but I still think that Neck Snap has a place. |

| What can Neck Snap do against Magus of the Disk, again? At least Oblivion Ring takes care of it, not letting it go off. Well, check today’s article on magicthegathering.com, by Mike Flores, and check a couple of the lists there. See how many Oblivion Rings you can find, and then how many Neck Snaps. |

You’re missing the point. With Neck Snap, you can only take out creatures, and ones that happen to attack you, WHILE you have four mana up to respond. Also, unless the creature has haste and you happen to have 4 mana right at the spot, that means they’ve already gotten to untap, before attacking, meaning THEY can respond to Neck Snap as well, say, with a 2-mana Rune Snag? Oblivion Ring can be played right away, to take out a creature before they ever get to untap to use it properly, and it can take out ANY creature, as long as it can be targeted by it’s ability, not only attacking ones. Also, it removes from the game, hosing any reanimation trick, not letting Tarmogoyf or other stuff like it get bigger with a creature hitting the graveyard, AND taking care of indestructible creatures like Stuffy Doll. Aside from all this, Oblivion Ring can also be used to take care of Enchantments and Artifacts before they really come online and spell trouble, and it can outright "kill" a Planeswalker, something Neck Snap doesn’t even dream of doing. Want to use something with a similar effect? If your deck is not made of only weenie creatures, then use Judge Unworthy. Can pack a punch against most beaters anyway, is cheaper and lets you scry, smoothing your draws.  |
