@ Punchgroin - No it woul deal infect damage, blacklash makes 'the creature' deal damage, and infect means 'this creature deals damage in the form of infect counters'. This works for much the same reason Livewire Lash deals infect.

@Hugomanen
I'm sorry, but that wouldn't work. All he has to do is deal enough damage to 'kill' Invisible Stalker and then he can deal the rest to you.
Someone else correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the card itself, I'm not surprised by how much hate this card has received, especially from nostalgic players, and I can understand, to a degree, but hating a card because Wizards decided to do something like this is kinda... I don't know...
But I digress. there are also more ways to deal with him now than when Darksteel came out, so I would take that into account personally.

As a general rule I think an Infect creature should always cost 2 more than its counterpart. Grizzly Bear 2, Infect Grissly Bear 4, due to infect being able to deal 2x as much damage in order to win the game (10 poison) but somehow they made infect cheaply costed. Darksteel Colossus at 11 and Blightsteel at 12..... it just doesn't seem fair. the addition of Infect only cost 1 more mana?

Blightsteel Colossus on turn 1.
Opening Hand: Swamp, Simian Spirit Guide, Rite of Flame, Dark Ritual, Blightsteel Colossus, Body Snatcher, Lightning Bolt.
Exile Simian Spirit Guide from your hand and cast Right of Flame. Play the Swamp and cast Dark ritual. Using the three black mana from the Dark Ritual and one red mana from the Right of Flame cast Body Snatcher and discarded the Blightsteel Colossus. Next use the remaining red mana to hit Body Snatcher with a lightning Bolt and put the Blightsteel Colossus into play.
Now laugh because you opponent hasn't played a land yet.

This card is awesome. I hate it.
@PhyrexianAdvocate
Pacifism works on Emrakul, the Aeons Torn too. For anyone who doesn't believe that, read the rulings on Emrakul and learn the difference between "spell" and "permanent"
EDIT:
...wow. I was thinking that Pacifism was Journey to nowhere at the time of post. I'm aware that Pacifism is a spell. I'm not completely retarded, I was just thinking of the wrong card.
