Dear StuartHamilton:
I like your thinking, Timmy, but there are far, far worse things to bring down on your opponent. I can think of a two mana artifact that will bring unending Hellfire upon any person unwitting enough to sit around until turn three. I can think of several one mana artifacts that are game-changing in their own right, that even alone will automatically demand the best removal an opponent may have. And that's without going into artifact creatures.
You have a good grasp on big creatures. You can definitely improve the scope of your concept of the game, however.

I like how people keep saying, "What was WotC thinking when they made this?".
It was pretty balanced when it came out.
In fact, it wasn't too bad until Mirrodin hit. Now it's a monster.

I can't figure out which is more broken. This, or mana drain.

Platinum angel seems like a really silly choice for this card, there are hundreds of artifacts I'd rather have collossus, inkwell leviathin, sphinx of the steelwind, Darksteel Forge, who cares if you can't lose the game on turn three. Your opponents are going to care if you have a 11/11 trampling indestructible on the field turn three. Turn one, ornithopter, black lotus, badda bing badda boom Freekin collossus. They play a plains. You swing for 11. They play an island, they play a storm crow. You swing for 9. Game, without playing a land.

To the person who said it's "banned for a reason" PLEASE specify what you mean when saying stuff like that. This card is only banned in Type 1.5 / Legacy. It's perfectly legal, though Restricted, in Type 1. I know it's petty, but two days ago, I was in a game storm, and a friend of mine was asking about Crucible of Worlds and Fastbond because I play a combo with it, and, he said "like 3 people said "oh you want that stupid gay combo?" and then another said "it's only legal in casual anyway, it's banned" and I was actually kind of annoyed to say the least because it happened AFTER I left with my Wife to get something to drink, AND because the guy who said that obviously was totally wrong, as Fastbond is totally Legal in Type 1, and on top of that, my friend taught ME how to play wayyyyy back in early 1994, so, he hadn't played Magic much in over 10 years, so, had no way of knowing that more than Type 1 now exists, so saying stuff like that, is going to make people who don't look for the... (see all)
