Mortality Spear Four mana to destroy a nonland permanent is quite expensive, but 2 is a steal
While a little more straightforward than Ovika, Vein Ripper has one with a bit more of a physical cost on your opponents when they go to target it
(10/1/2007) If there are no nonland permanents on the battlefield other than an Oblivion Ring, and the card it exiled was another Oblivion Ring, casting a third Oblivion Ring will result in an involuntary infinite loop that will end the game in a draw (unless someone chooses to break it by putting another nonland permanent onto the battlefield or destroying one of the Oblivion Rings, for example)
If you can reanimate this for cheap, then for only four black mana, you get to draw seven cards
