Am I missing something here? Why is this card rated so much lower than Darksteel Colossus? Is there really that much hate-rate for this card? I'll agree, it's a pretty ridiculous card, but jeez don't rate it .5 star just because you think it's too hard to deal with.

Rated 3/5 just because I hate this card.
The first creature that kills in one swing that does not require you to cast it.
Completely unoriginal, the just took an older creature and slapped infect on it (seems to be a common trend with MBS), effectively obsoleting the other colossus.

Second creature ever printed that kills in one hit (or even if he's blocked by a 1-toughness guy ala Dark Confidant)
the first was Phage, and they specifically disallowed her from being cheated into play.
They made this guy indestructible and an artifact. (power-balancing)

You know Id be ***ed about this if they didnt print cards like Shatter and Creeping Corrosion in the same set ( yea I know I just went there but with this thing, its justified). But I usually play mono black and other than GfTT (which cant hit this thing) wtf am I going to do with the removal scars gives us?
This is the most *** ive seen since Emrakul, come the *** on wizards

The scary thing about this guy is that he can come out as soon as Turn 1. All it takes is a Tolarian Academy, a few 0-cost artifacts (especially if they're mana generators), and Tinker and you win =D

And I thought nothing could beat the original...
Also probably one of the best pieces of art in the set.

I Don't get what all the fuss is about, bounce them with an aether spellbomb, after disposing on any annoying enchants with a dispeller's capsule

I started playing Magic around the time Onslaught came out. I started to feel comfortable with good, balanced cards. Then they came out with Mirrodin, which threw off my newly found ideas. It felt like a good chunk of Mirrodin and Darksteel were created just to break rules (or the game in General). I never really understood why they made Darksteel Colossus back then (with tooth and nail in the same block!)
And now this.... they just had to make one of the most ridiculous cards in the game second rate. I mean, they aren't even legendary either!
