Love this guy. I run him in a Myr artifact deck with a kuldotha forgemaster, indomitable archangel and a darksteel forge. Once I get this guy out with some supporting cards I've pretty much got that game.

I definitely think this is the stronger of the two Platinum creatures. With the larger body, it can play the role as a threat in addition to its powerful ability. It's very difficult to burn, usually needing three burn spells, and almost certainly two. Any deck that runs Spellskite as additional protection will probably find Emperion's ability almost strictly better since Spellskite can shut down the pump used in most fast infect decks.

If a Platinum Emperion gets hit by Phthisis, will the player lose life? (Does the Emperion goes to the graveyard during Phthisis's resolution or after it completely resolves?)

It ignores such insignificant forces as death...
...but still dies to removal.
Sorry, I had to.

Removal doesn't necessarily have to mean the death of something and when it comes to machines like this guy, I don't see him as being something that can actually "die". If a card says destroy target creature then he'll be destroyed but as a pretty intense piece of hardware, being destroyed is no biggie. Who cares if his busted up, dismantled body is hurled into a pit of corpses (graveyard). He can come back easily enough.
I'd say the flavour text is actually very precise. It's not like they wrote it that way and meant "Oh, this guy is so badass he doesn't die" because we all know that it's very easy for him to die but I think it's written the way it is to more or less just say that Platinum Emperion is one of those huge, slow-moving beasts that just lumbers his way across the battlefield not being concerned whether something(s) is trying to stop him or not. If you're programmed to take orders and assault a target then chances are you're just going to keep working away at that objectiv... (see all)

Coolest card I've seen in quite a while. I love cards that change a simple rule about the whole program of the game.
