Erik's Random card 6/9/2011
When we were discussing what to put in this slot, I brought up that I thought Blazing Effigy is cool. Apparently Aaron liked it too, because here it is.
We had a game where he had one of these out, and I used all my equipment to attack with a 7 toughness guy. We want the "6 damage" to matter; if the creature always died we might choose to go with 5 damage, or have it destroy the attacking creature without a damage total. On the other hand, we do like aesthetics, so if there was some reason the exact value, or even the numeral "6" was very fitting, we would have kept that. In this case, there wasn't anything that special. We were just going for a value that would generally get the job done, but you could work hard and get through it.

Except Inferno Titan, which can burn it before combat.
And Frost Titan, which can keep it tapped down indefinitely.
And Primeval Titan, which brings Mountain and Valakut-fueled burn with it before combat.
More like anti-First Strike, I think. Or just a carrier for Echo Circlet.

Not unless sacrificing 6 permanents is your idea of perfect.

@Nayban "Each creature it blocked this combat"
Inferno Titan burns it before it can block him, and Frosty taps it before it can block him. So NO 6 damage to those titans.

You'd have to be mentally ill to attack with any creature of toughness 6 or less with this on the board. One might, in fact, say that you'd be "insane in the membrane".

I like the idea of it making echo circlet not completely worthless. But other than that, just see it as a 0/3 wall for cheap. Nothing more, nothing less.

The white walls had an eerie resemblance to marble but it's bland sheen glimmered in the crimson sky regardless. The smooth skin of the building was broken by the blatant display of it's hexplate structure as it climbed higher up into the air. The membrane soared so high it seemed to bend forward and menace it's onlookers. A band of foolish Phyrexians approached and battered the wall with their steel appendages. They cackled and laughed to themselves, besieging a seemingly undefended side of a very important place. A sudden and loud snap and then a crack surged down the wall. The black heart of the wall revealed, the Phyrexians wormed their way in. The sky swirled in a torrent of fire and lightning and from the crevices of the wall, a loud din was heard and after a momentary flash of light, the wall seemed to have made short work of the Phyrexians, leaving a sizzling barbecue for the feral beasts nearby.
