Phyrexian Negator without the need for intelligent gameplay. I hate it.
5/5

Man, i feel so sorry for green and red. This card is just silly.

Apparently Wizards thought it wasn't powerful enough, so they gave it trample.
Smooth.

This card seems, uh...
Black. Very... black. A bit too black.
Like, REALLY black.

Increasing the CMC of a Phyrexian Negator by one apparently allows changing his drawback into an equally big advantage...given of course that you change the color of the expansion symbol to orange, too.
Red and green can suck on that one. (Or rather, their side will get completely sucked through this card.)
Imo this dude at least shouldn't be able to block, so players could try to stomp their mono-black opponent over before he does...
Not even saying it's overpowered. Just not that type of Mythic Rare i like.
Amazing flavor thoguh.

I'm a little sad that Dismember was printed, in part, to give a hard counter to this guy available to everyone without issue. Sometimes I think wizards are a little too careful nowadays. Yeah, they printed this monstrosity (pushing the envelope a bunch) but by including it right in the same set they didn't get to gauge whether he'd even see play without it.
He's occasionally seen in legacy, but competes with Persecutor and the 5 toughness, in part due to dismember, is a large dissuasion. Fact is, MBC has been on the weaker side of things for awhile; they don't need to print a hard counter to every strategy immediately; they could at least have just done it in the core set.
Anyway, I love this card; though I haven't bought it yet. It embodies the *other* side of black. Not the sacrifice for power one (although the colorweight => you sacrifice either ritual cards or playing multicolor); but the other side of black that says "Your doom... (see all)

I cant think of anything to post on this card besides whining and complaining that its overpowered, when really what i should be doing is putting a deck together with him and nemesis mask and calling it a day. i guess its fair since blue still has Storm crow

Some people recommend using walls against this but thats definitely not the solution because this thing makes one hell of a blocker, better than any wall. My friend was playing Eldrazi Green but I used Surgical Extraction on Emrakul the only creatures left in his deck was non-flyers. He had some 8/8 and Kozilek out which was a 12/12. No wall was going to save me from this one. But I had two Phyrexian Obliterators out. Point is, unless you have some creature removal, facing an Obliterator in combat is serious FML.
They aren't hard to keep alive if you have surgical extraction. They may be able to remove the first one, but good luck on the second. Having targetted discard adds another level safety.
