Overall there has been a great deal of debate around these two cards and I would like everyone's opinion on the subject.
For those who do not know consume the meek costs 5 (2 of them black) at instant speed and destroy creatures with converted mana cost 3 or less and they cant be regenerated. Black sun zenith costs 2 black and x to put -1/-1 counters on each creature and then it gets shuffled back into the owner's library at sorcery speed.
When comparing the two the regen in my opinion doesn't really come into play due to the fact that you cannot regenerate a 0/0 creature after the -1/-1 counters go on. These cards affect both sides of the board and so far in the standard meta they have been used in control deck (very little amount of creatures). Either way both sides are affected by both spells. The main issue is the speed. Consume the meek comes at intant speed which is a HUGE! advantage when playing control as any control player will tell you.
I personally like the black sun zenith better , but im assuming thats because they play better in the types of decks I play. And I cannot help but love that it gets shuffled back into your library and that the counters stay on there so if 4 go on baneslayer angel, The once mighty baneslayer angel is reduced to a 1/1 flier with a lot of abilities, or turns titans into 2/2's so they will be more warey about attacking.
I would love to hear any other opinions on the subject...
