"The effects of Xathrid Gorgon's ability don't depend on the petrification counter. If that counter is removed, the creature remains a colorless artifact with defender, and so on."
I wonder how many counters have been taken off with Hex Parasite only to have the creature remain a defender. I guess the designers thought the counter was a useful reminder?

This card is awesome. Use it as the only ground troop in a deck full of fliers, and leave them with a bunch of fatty defenders that can't even block your creatures.

This isn't the best card in the world, but against a slower, beefier creature deck, you can basically them down entirely with just with this card. It's very anti-green honestly. I wouldn't recommend for competitive play though, but in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, this card can win you the game against a lot of the decks in that format just on its own.

Since when is imobilizing a creature and making it an arifact black? The ability should cost 2

What exactly is the petrification counter there for? It doesn't do anything other than remind you that the creature is "petrified." Still, 4/5 for flavor.

Combos well with Vandalblast for a boardwipe, although too slow for multiplayer. A fun card for casual and limited, but nothing else. 4/5.

I've killed Eldrazi with this. This thing is ridiculous.
It's only 3/6, but who the hell cares? It's deathtouch! Could've been a 1/6.
