Incredible. Perhaps once cawblade rotates out we'll see mono-black Phyrexian Obliterater with Sword of War and Peace & Sword of Feast and Famine. Protection from white removal, black removal, and Beast Within.

@kor6sic6: Dragonmaster Outcast. I got my Mythic out on turn 1, what're you gonna do about it?
(Although turn 1 is probably not the best time for Dragonmaster Outcast.)

The idea of splashing red for Incite is kind of amusing. I wonder what other (and hopefully, better) options there are out there to force your opponent to damage this guy.
edit: EggShen, you're completely right, thanks for pointing that out. Grappling Hook doesn't really help Obliterator. Funny how that Double Strike bonus gets flipped into a drawback of sorts.
How about Tainted Strike? Suddenly the prospect of whether to block the Obliterator becomes much more complex.

Wall of Stone, Living Wall, Wall of Tanglecord, etc.

Yah this guy makes me look forward to Innistrad. I wonder whether there'll be a monocolor theme in general (oh god yes) or just in black. That and I suspect there might be some tribal elements (vampires or minotaurs) what with Xenograft seeing print in Scars block where it really doesn't serve much of a purpouse. Here's hoping for a Didgeridoo reprint.

I want to see someone hit this with Shivan Meteor. Although chances are, you'd have to Mindslaver someone to make them do it.

I would like this card a lot more if it weren't a rip-off of one of the most iconic suicide black creatures of all time. It's cards like these that make the current standard environment boring to older players. Flavorless and stupidly overpowered.
Connotations and griping aside, the card itself is probably one of the most powerful black creatures printed.

Wall of Tanglecord got better. And all colors got an answer if they have 4 life: Dismember

Slap A darksteel plate and Pariah on this thing and itll pretty much be a pit of sacrifice
