i love how whenever a black card comes around with trample, no one's going to want to block it anyway XD

I bet they called geek squad to fix Phyrexian Negator; they just showed up, flipped the switch from "your permanents" to "their permanents" and charged Phyrexia $250 for it.

I've butted heads with this guy in 4 draft games (NMS/MBS/SOM). Each game my opponent went swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp, Phyrexian Obliterator. Had no answers. Was handily defeated.
I've drafted this card twice. First time I drafted him I tried to build mono black around him and ended up with a pretty crummy deck because of it. Never even got him onto the board. Second time I drafted him I won the draft but he didn't even make my deck, even though I had 2 ragers, grim affliction and 2 morbid plunders. He's the hardest thing to cast in limited.

Many of you say this card is broken, and 5-10 years ago, you'd be right.
But the fact of the matter is that Phyrexian Obliterator is NOT broken, and here's why.
The best way to show it is not broken is by comparing it to similar creature cards which are, such as Baneslayer Angel, Thragtusk and Thundermaw Hellkite.
Yes, a 5/5 for 4 CMC that has Trample and clears the opponent's board of creatures every time it attacks may at first sight seem OP, but:
1. Phyrexian Obliterator is awkward to cast with its 
casting cost, and is therefore far less splashable than its white, green and red counterparts.
2. It is prone to most type of removal (except burn), whereas players must always think twice before hitting that Thragtusk with a Doom Blade.
3. It has no "enter the battlefield" effects, unlike Thragtu... (see all)

This card is essential for every Mono Black deck ... I personally love everything about it!

I think a lot of people ignore the 4 swamp part about him

*sigh* This card. Here I go. I love this thing to pieces. It's probably my favorite creature of all time. Now that that's out of the way, I'll discuss the brokenness of this card. There is none. This is simply a good creature. The drawback lies in the fact that it doesn't /do/ anything most of the time. Even in casual, I drop it, and then there's a flurry of counter spells, bounce, and other nonsense. This is basically, a 4cc, an opponent discards a removal spell. It has no effect on the board, like Grave Titan, Sheoldred, and no effect on your hand like Griselbrand. It is, for all practical purposes a vanilla creature that is above the curve for black. Yes, this will win games if left unanswered, but really, what 5/5 won't? This just makes it a bit easier. And as far as flavor goes, I do believe this thing oozes it. I mean, look at it. It's phyrexian perfection in form. It's vindictive, and as such, just. It isn't like neg... (see all)

This dude looks ready to party. Strictly more bad ass than Phyrexian Negator.
