Like the old artwork better. Gives me a chill of an alien and terminator coming to smash in.

If they were to print this guy today, he'd be a mythic rare and make your opponent sacrifice the permanents...
Oh wait...
(By the way, I'm not referencing the duel deck reprinting.)

This card and the Tempest edition Counterspell have the best flavor text. Their simple, amusing, and do a good job a conveying the card's ability and name.
Also, the original art on this version is much better than the new one.

This guy would be amazing to drop in 1st turn with a Dark Ritual.
Hopefully your opponent doesn't start the game by Shocking him though.

Should this be “you may”?
No one read this article I guess :)

New Phyrexia Design and Development Office:
Phone Rings.
"I'll get it" says a Mark.
......
"Ok."
......
"Ok."
.....BLEEP....BLEEP.....BLEEP.....BLEEP....
"Oh dear."
"Got it. I'll let them know the bad news."
Mark: Guys, remember that super awesome mythic rare idea we had for a badass Phyrexian from the past, only with subvert the drawback into profit? that everybody thought was the most awesome card ever?
yeah. Development killed it. they were concerned it was possibly dangerous for the Standard metagame. and the Vintage one too. they gave us this alternate suggestion for something called 'Phyrexian Obliterator'
Guy that designed the killed card: Whats wrong with Phyrexian Dreadnought 2.0?

Protect it with duress, terror any blockers in your way, sacrifice it as a last resort.
This card made you think how to wield its power. Obliterator is just, "HUR DUR, I PLAY BLACK, I PUT DEM IN BOSS"

Why the hell would it be "you may"? That's the downside. A 5/5 for 2B with trample is only balanced with the awful downside. edit: okay I guess I didn't get the rather obscure reference that is five and a half years old
Very strong if you can work around it.
