I think you guys are underestimating this guy. Sure, the other Eldrazi are probably better, but this card is still great. Basically a Darksteel Colossus with -1/-1 and no trample (probably around 9 CMC), a Vindicate tacked on (3 CMC), and Annihilator 4, which SHOULD probably tack on another 3 mana in my opinion. This adds up to 15 mana, yet it only costs 11. If the other Eldrazi weren't in the picture, I can definitely see this getting up to the 4.5 range in ratings, just like Mr. Colossus over there.

Just imagine, the great and powerful Ulamog gets a tragic slip to his grave XD

Arguing over which of the big three Eldrazi is the "best" is stupid. Emrakul is usually the "best" once you have the 15 mana to cast her because she straight-up wins the game. Ulamog is the "best" when you need to destroy something immediately, i.e. Jace TMS. Kozilek is the "best" when you're running low on cards and need to draw an answer, i.e. All Is Dust.

darksteel colossus stapled to vindicate stapled to curse of the cabal? seems reasonable

I have a weakness for indestructibility, so Ulamog gets my vote as favorite.

Hands down one of the best Eldrazi.
His "destroy target permanent" is what makes this so good. What good is a fatty eldrazi if there's a Jace, the Mind Sculptor ready to bounce it back to your hand or even a 3-mana Vampire Nighthawk to keep your big guy from turning sideways.
This Eldrazi covers its own behind in taking out the one threat on the other side of the board that can give you problems.
5/5

I actually like this guy more than kozilek. Sure, he costs one more than kozilek, but with all the spawn tokens floating around, i doubt that one mana will matter. Also, the free vindicate is better than kozileks free tidings IMO. and while kozilek has ulamog beat with in power and toughness, ulamog is indestructable, it doesnt matter how much more toughness kozilek has that ulamog. if anything, ide call Kozilek the weakest of the three.

He is good cuz he cant be destroyed
you just attack few times whit it and your opponent doesnt have anything in play
kozilek is cheaper but he is just blocked with some creatures and he dies
this guy can only be removed
4,5/5

If you're using lands to play any Eldrazi than you're doing it wrong. =/
btw, anyone who says its hard to play the Eldrazi (the big mf'ers) has never seen Show and Tell. Anyone of these guys can be played turn 2, and its not really that difficult. You just gotta have one in your hand.

Three words. Path To Exile.
Indestructibility only saves it from damage and being destroyed. Not from exile.
