great card, but I hate the new art. I think I still prefer Negator to Obliterator if only because Negator is more splashable. Although I'd likely use Phyrexian Totem over this card most of the time unless I was going for speed.

Only good if you dark ritual him on turn one

Say what you want, this thing still makes people not attack out of fear.

You know, the only reason I can see this card being reserved now (which is kind of said, as it is kinda broken) is that there isn't a proper place to print it now with obliterator out there.

There's something deeply satisfying about playing a Swamp, then a Dark Ritual, and casting a Phyrexian Negator or an Hypnotic Specter in turn 1.

How sad would you be if you played this card, and the next turn, your opponent plays Shivan meteor

I realized that this guy is hideously effective with double-strike. in R/B you can do the standard Dark Rit play T1, then if they block T2 you drop a double cleave => 7-9 damage to their face, no loss of permanents for you, and they lost a creature in the process. Assault Strobe gives you a 1-mana (and thus less risky for permanents) way to do the same thing if you have a blood crypt out.
Ran next to unearth, dark rit, dakmor salvage, and some other "3 cmc matters" cards, this may be a neat archtype. Hypnotic Specter fits with the double-strike as well; I'm sure there are other neat 3 CMC or less cards that fit with this as well, such as skittering horror.

I have a Fatal Attraction to your Phyrexian Negator

for those who say that the obliterator is better either don't know what dark ritual is or what suicide black is. sure, the obliterator is awesome, but this is a 5/5 trampler on turn 1, and it only requires a 2-card combo. that's insane. i can only imagine the badassery if you gave him first strike... 4/5 for being the icon of SuiBlack.
oh yeah, another thing to mention... dont use him against burn. also, i love the flavor text for some reason.
