Difficult to cast, but absolutely devastating.

This guy is a house! He's an infect deck all by his lonesome!
He totally takes down his older brother, the original eldrazi, Darksteel Colossus!
If there's some wonky haste giving-Shape Anew deck out there, expect to see this guy a lot!

Actually Eved, you cannot cast Pacifism on Emrakul. Maybe you're thinking of Oblivion Ring or Journey to Nowhere. Enchantment - Aura's target upon casting it, and at that time it is still a spell. Nothing is a permananet until it is on the battlefield.

Why? Just Why? Not only did Wizards just make ol' Darksteel completely obsolete, now we have a card that literally gives me goosebumps when seeing it. So many ways to cheat this out, not mentioning shape anew in its own block, but you can just slap a distortion strike on this for game. This card is always going to scare me.

Arachibutyrophobia, there are many many more creatures that can kill player at full life when unblocked. If only condition you mention that it have to be "unblocked creature", I am pretty confident, there have to be hundreds of such creatures. At example right now I have in mind at least B.F.M - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=9844, S.N.O.T, Hellkite Charger, Kiln Fiend, Immolating Souleater, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, Goblin Medics, Pestermite, Primordial Hydra and all other hydras (I think there was printed few of them) and so on.
Of course, all of those creatures need other part of combo which makes that 20 points of damage possible, but Colossus also needs combo. I doubt You will hardcast it. You will probably use combo to get it into play. Even just mana ramp is in its sense "combo ... (see all)

Turn 3, Blade Splicer. Turn 4, Shape Anew. Now he has first strike too lol
In terms of flavor, the hate this guy recieves for being better than DSC makes me like him more. It hits us right in the feels and now we can relate to the pain the Mirrans felt as Phyrexia destroyed, replicated, and replaced their entire world.

I despise this card on principle. The Infect mechanic itself doesn't sit well with me; this is just disgusting. Whoever decided this was acceptable to add to standard should be fired.

Unlike Darksteel Colossus, this guy dies to Kiku's Shadow.
Do these infect reprints remind anyone of the Ing from Metroid Prime 2? Like this guy is similar to the robot dude Quadraxis.
ok nevermind. More Magic less Video Games.

Spideredd it sounds like you are complaing about zendikars mythics being way better then is commens and umcommens. Look at Vampire Hexmage,Vampire Nighthawk,Gatekeeper of malakir,Steppe Lynx and Journey to Nowhere.
why dose everyone think he is overpowered. Unlike with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn you have a chance to deal with him before he attacks and unlike emrakul when he attacks unless you combo him it dose not end the game immediately like emrakul dose when he attacks. As for tinker it's Restricted so you probably wont draw it and even if Tinker wasn't Iona, Shield of Emeria would still be easier to cheat out considering she is a easy Reanimater target.
