The flavour (and sadness of the player playing it) will be epic when someone casts fade into antiquity on this.

And then Darksteel Colossus sat in a corner and cried.

They EASILY could have made this mythic and no one would have called them out on it. Still, this is a VERY sweet card and casual players are going to eat it right up.

And then, somehow, the 20/20 indestructible trampler got Chained to the Rocks.

I really love this card!

I do have some points of criticism, though:

- This should have been mythic. I mean, how is this not mythic??? It fulfills all standards of a good mythic. It's huge, it's superflavorful, it's anything but a utility card, anything but an upcoming 4-of standard staple. Sure, this card will never be expensive, and it's not even as powerful as Darksteel Colossus or Blightsteel Colossus, but who says mythics need to be walletbreakers?

- This should be legendary!!! Come on, there is only one Akros, and you can't tell me they have more then one of these?? Not to mention it would have been a yanky but oh so cool and challenging commander! This would have been only the second colorless artifact creature commander after Karn, Silver Golem. (Bosh, Iron Golem counts as red, and Memnarch as blue.).

I suppose it's fitting that history's original Colossus be paid tribute in a set focusing on the region it came from. Shame how Darksteel Colossus is more or less fully obsoleted between this guy and Blightsteel, though.

I can see this in Modern Tron. It's that good.
