Then you play Mimic Vat, and they don't even want to kill it.

I am running this guy in a Birthing Pod Deck. It works really well. It by passes the crazy BBBB casting cost, and it can't be countered. And I find that it makes a much better blocker than an attacker... They might want to swing, but not on the ground... So, I make them... with Incite. Then I block... It's pretty sick...

I feel like gatherer's ratings are quite silly. According to the gatherer ratings Phyrexian Obliterator is much better than Jace the Mindsculptor somehow. lol? How does that make sense?
Dear Gatherer.wizards.com,
Your rating system is silly. :)
PS: Make up your mind on the rules of magic and think about the cards you print a little harder. Just for the lolz.
Also I like this card and Jace I just wanted to comment on this and I have nobody to talk to so the interwebs is the next best thing. :D

In Soviet Phyrexia Annihilate comes to you!...If that made any sense. I mean because it reminds me of Eldrazi annihilate just in reverse and requiring damage

The prohibitive casting cost of this monster is so easily side stepped even in my black/white deck by one of my favorite black cards... Culling the Weak. I run three of his little brothers(Phrexian Negator's) and just one Obliterator along with two Desolation Angel's, some dark rituals and Phyrexian Walkers for sacrificial fodder.
(but Yeah he's usualy just a 5/5 unblockable for BBBB)

This card is powerful. Not TOO powerful, just plain powerful. Blue, black, and white all have plenty of non-damaging removal. Green gets overgrown battlement, which people play anyway, and wall of tanglecord, which now has something other than birds to block. Also, green gets Beast Within. Even red can dismember it. And for those that say dismember isn't enough, I say just burn your opponent till they're dead. This card is a great card when used properly, but it's not some kind of combo-tastic, gamebreaking, meta-defining monster like its grandpappy the Negator or the newly banned Jace. This isn't power creep, it's a shiny new toy that has the potential to steal some, but not all, games if it hits the field.

Enchant it with Lure and watch your opponent's reaction.

To counter: block the obliterator with a creature. Then have Bazaar Trader give control of said creature to your opponent. Then force him to sacrifice :D
