Lateralis0ne,
First off, assuming my age before forming a proper argument shows me that you're clearly younger than I am. Secondly, you don't actually FORM a proper argument. You speak of balance, then, and I quote, call the card, "crazy-powerful." There is no balance when certain colors gain cards on incredible, unbalanced strength. Look at Jace. Look at Stoneforge. The developers of Magic banned those cards because they powered up cards far too much and released them into the public without realizing the consequences. Here is a quote from MTG's R&D on the topic of overpowered cards:
"Everyone agrees that innovation is a Very Good Thing and thus we should be constantly pushing the envelope. Well, if we're constantly pushing the envelope and striving to come up with cool new weird and wacky cards, then occasionally we're going to make a mistake." - Randy Buehler
Cards like this are not only a problem for non-black players, but for everyone. People defending this card make a va... (see all)

The fact that this abomination's CMC is smaller than that of a Chimney Imp makes me think there's something wrong in here...
Awesome card, no doubt about it! But still... are you sure this is really something that should be able to come out by turn 2 provided you have a Dark Ritual ready, Wizards?

Love the art and flavor text, however that's where anything 'black' about this begins and ends. It plays and feels more like an eldrazi or green creature than anything. The only major complaint I have is the CMC is totally unfair for a black card without a draw-back.

Oh, so those witty Phyrexians finally fixed Phyrexian Negator's polarity system.

Juzam Djinn just fell into a coma and died.
I like the artist for this card, he's a real good one.

It tramples AND makes you sacrifice?
:P Might as well just say "Unblockable." It's "Win-more," but it only takes a turn to really screw over anyone :/ Why put so much on it? Kinda makes it lose flavor.

You remember the look on our faces when we saw vampire nighthawk?
"3 mana... Not a bad cost.
2/3 body... okay. It's not terrible.
Flying... Yeah, now it's playable.
Deathtouch... Oh snap, it's above the curve.
Lifelink... WTF?!!!!! "
Yea , well now look at our faces when we see this card
4 black mana... ok seems cool , black too.
5/5 body....lol for 4 mana? There MUST be a drawback otherwise this would seem broken.
Trample - Wait , so it's playable...and it's an early trampler? Whoa.
"Whenever a source deals damage to phyrexian obliterator the source's controller sacrafices that many permanents" - LOLOMGWTFBBQ , THIS THING BRINGS DOWN DUDES FASTER THAN A FRENCH HOOKER ON PAYDAY!
Flavortext- Wait , no more abilities? No drawbacks? WTF WIZARDS!!!!
