If you want to share your ideas on cards with other fans, feel free to drop us an email. We would love more volunteers to help us with our Magic the Gathering Card of the Day reviews. Phat Pack Magic is a channel dedicated to Magic: the Gathering and creating awesome coverage of local events for formats like Cube, rare pack drafts, and now FNM Pioneer videos! Check it out at Vintage Cube, why settle for simply Tinkering this guy out when you can do Channel, Sneak Attack, and Through the Breach? Just remember not to build this guy into your reanimator deck because you can’t Shallow Grave him! In Cube this guy is one of the most feared win cons but beware of that sneaky Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares! It’ll be one heck of a reverse blowout!Ĭonstructed 5/5 – One of the Vintage Win ConditionsĬube 5/5 – It’s not as consistent as in regular Constructed Vintage but the feelgoods when you win with this thing is off the charts! Ka-swish! There is one exceptionally amazing place for this card and it’s my favorite place for it. Just make sure to hold up Force of Will with your god hand! It’s fun to go Island Mana Crypt, Tinker into Blightsteel and say “Your Turn” with a fatty beast. Since Tinker is banned in Commander and Legacy this card only really sees play in Vintage Deck who can use all that fast mana to pump out a big bloated Blightsteel. You had one draw step, one opening hand, to deal with this guy before he poisoned you to death with a mighty swing of his restructured and infected blade arm. Well the Legend was real and when Blightsteel Colossus came on to the scene with it’s jagged and mutated form it quickly advanced the Tinker Clock from 2 turns to 1. Way way way back in the old days there was the fabled Tinker into Darksteel Colossus that could win the game in two turns, it was a feared deck in Legacy and Vintage and victims of it would recount their amazement at Middle School tables like campfire horror stories. Hello everyone and welcome back to Pojo’s Card of the Day! Today we’re looking at one of the most feared non-companion creatures that can hit the board! Limited: 4.75 (the game is over if you get to 12 mana)Ĭommander: 4.25 (remember: poison still kills at 10 counters in Commander, so one swing is still lethal) It sees some play in the most powerful format of them all (Vintage), a format that tends to run fewer answers and has all the toys a noxious Phyrexian monstrosity could ask for, but any “trick” deck in Modern and Legacy might be able to use Blightsteel as a different sort of game-ending threat.Ĭonstructed: 3.5 (12 mana makes it hard to play normally, so decks will want to cheat it into play, and those can use this to great effect)

It’s not invincible, succumbing to sacrifice, bounce, and exile effects, but you need them to have a chance at stopping the noxious behemoth, and staring down a creature literally able to strike for lethal in a single hit unassisted means you’re on thin ice dealing with it. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.Blightsteel Colossus may not be the biggest creature ever printed, but it’s certainly one of the scariest! An indestructible trampling behemoth that’s able to kill someone in one hit is a massive problem that needs to be answered swiftly it can’t be reanimated back to the battlefield, but it can be cheated out in other ways (like Tinker, Oath of Druids, Through the Breach, and other fun tricks). Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.ĭamage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. Damage dealt to planeswalkers still results in that planeswalker losing that many loyalty counters.Ī player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. If Blightsteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Blightsteel Colossus and shuffle it into its.

Refer to last picture for the sample of Foil and Non. Instead, it results in that many -1/-1 counters being put on that creature or that many poison counters being given to that player. Do not use the Magic the Gathering proxy card for normal events organised by shop or Wizards of the Coast. Attack with an unblocked creature Activate Satorus ability to play Blightseel Colossus through Ninjutsu. Damage that a creature with infect deals doesn't result in damage being marked on a creature or a player losing life. MTG > Combos > Blightsteel Colossus +Satoru Umezawa +.
