I like the O-Stone. I have used it a fair bit and find it has two great uses. First, obviously to destroy everything. That's always a gas. But second, the threat of destroying everything is just as good, or maybe even better
Your opponent thinks "I'm not going to play my awesome guy as long as O-Stone is ready to go". If you keep the 5 mana ready then it can't even be destroyed without you blowing the O out of everything.
So you end up getting a bunch of extra turns with the other guy holding back. The fate counter thing is just extra bonus.

Ummm, proliferate doesn't really work with this card, bro.

The best part about this card is that no longer is it the only one that puts fate counters on permanents!
Run it with the new phyrexia plane Norn's Dominion, which is otherwise pretty much a slightly worse (in most cases) Sanctum of Serra.
(I know the link doesn't work as I post it, but it will in time.)

...sigh.
Put and proliferate way more fate counters than necessary onto Skullbriar, then Giant Fan and Isochron Scepter+Fate Transfer them onto other permanents, using Rings of Brighthearth and Voltaic Key to speed up the process. Use Flickerform or Venser, the Sojourner to blink Skullbriar out at will (and more than once) and activate the Stone to wipe all nonland permanents except the ones you deem fit. Argivian Archaeologist to recur the Stone.
Happy now, Darth?
It just seems easier to go:
Leyline of the Void/Wheel of Sun and Moon (enchant opponent)
Oblivion Stone/Scourglass/Nevinyrral's Disk
Eternal Witness

Leavin' you behind, with my lonesome song,
In oblivionnnnnnnn...

JWolps, you fail to Rethink Possible. I'm sure there is a way to use Proliferate with this.
Step 1. Make a Fate Counter
Step 2. Proliferate a lot of Fate Counters
Step 3. Fate Transfer
Step 4. Skullbriar, the Walking Grave + a 'blink' effect, maybe?
Step 5. ?????
Step 6. Profit!
It's not..quite..there yet. But it seems likely to me that given Magic tags itself as an 'anything's possible' game, then this can work. Just gotta find that last piece of the puzzle....
