Um, you all realize that backlash would deal 11 damage right? It wouldn't deal the damage in poison counters (read carefully). Kikus shadow would fail to destroy it for the same reason.
I recommend act of treason.
Considering how fast you can cheat this sucker out in a solid artifact deck, absolutely a top rated card. This is Emrakul level board threat at a much lower price that's easier to cheat. And if you *did* cheat it out with forgemaster, and they manage to kill it, you can just cheat it back out next round with another precursor golem. (you are running precursor golem in your forgemaster deck right?)

Thing is, it can get Pacified so easily. Or exiled. or any number of horrible things. But people see stats and fear. My splicer deck using this card is tailored to put it out on turn 4, but can function just as well if it doesn't work. He's no Progenitus

The real problem with this guy is the mana cost. He's to be added on as an alternative wincon in EDH or something.

Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Master of Cruelties can cheat him out nicely...with a fantastic die or die situation. Opponent will have 1 life. You have enough board presence to kill them with poison and normal damage. You're welcome.

What about disentigrate? Since is removes him from the game would that do it, or would the indestructible negate the damage?

This with Mage Slayer is an instant win when you attack. Since the card specifies that the Colossus is dealing the damage, it counts as infect damage. So much for your opponent's massive blocking reserves.

Why the hell is this rated 3.989/5? This is an amazing card. It must be the same effects as Baneslayer Angel. People don't like it, think it's overpowered, overused, or overrated, and then rate it low because of that. This card immediately sets a sense of urgency or panic once it hits the field because it can win you the game in a couple of turns AND it's difficult to get rid of. There is no reason that this should be rated lower than Grim Poppet.
