No, you guys, the colored mana symbol thing is referring to the fact that since the frame change, the mana symbols in the text box have not been colored. Look at the spellbombs, look at the talismans, heck, look at seething song. Them mana symbols are colorless! Obviously it wasn't noticed by everybody, but I thought it was a terrible idea and I'm glad they are undoing it. (say: un-doyng).
Oh, and cranial extraction isn't the mono-black lobotomy. That gives lobotomy too much credit. This thing is BETTER than lobotomy, and it only requires one colored mana! If you already know what card is a big threat to you, you can just name it and get it over with. With Lobotomy you had to have been lucky enough to catch them with their win cards in hand - which is harder than it sounds because you have no protection against topdecks. Of course this card is more useful in competetive tourneys where you can guess at what your opponent is doing - especially in games 2 and 3 - but it's still awesome elsewhere. And what makes it rock the most is that it will still take the card you name out of their hand if it's there.
I guess Lobotomy is still good in casual though - you don't always know what your opponent is playing and with Lobotomy you are virtually garaunteed to get something decent, whereas with Extraction you might just name a card they don't have. Still in a competetive match, Cranial Extraction is just so much more powerful.
I just can't wait for the control mirrors in T2 where one player plays this and names Cranial Extraction.
