This card, Spinning Darkness, would be beneficial in a black control deck that focuses on removing threats and gaining life. It could be particularly effective against nonblack creature-heavy decks. However, in a competitive setting, there may be better options such as Fatal Push or Murder that offer more versatility and efficiency in removal. While Spinning Darkness has its niche uses, it may not see widespread play in highly optimized decks.

Rules

04/01/08

If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.

04/01/08

Say you’re the owner of both a permanent and an Aura that’s attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akroma’s Vengeance, for example), you decide the order they’re put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.

The “top” card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.
