Dear Darksteel Colossus, it's not me, it's you.

[Just an FYI, this contains exactly -1- Mirrodin Besieged spoiler]

Dear Darksteel Colossus,

I really don't know how to say this.  I've found another man.

I realize that you have an extremely sexy body that can destroy a player in two turns, but I've found better at a slightly higher cost.  Indestructible.  11/11.  Trample.

Sure, he costs one more to bring out, but seriously, whenever we went out, you only had to pay 2 and a blue and a piece of jewelry for me to help you catch the bus to the battlefield.


I realize those trinkets you sacrifice mean nothing if you win the game, but you realize that you take two turns uncontested to finish off an opponent.

I don't care if he costed 991323842193413 mana, I can work with him since like you, he's an artifact.

We haven't been intimate yet since Mirrodin Besieged has yet to come out.  I know you're mad and hope I catch some sort of disease from him, and you're probably right.  This new guy has Infect, and with 11 power he can finish off an opponent in just one turn.  If there's anybody who tries to get in the way of my man, he'll trample over them.

While he is powerful, I just hope nobody Threatens him since he's sensitive and I don't want him taking out his anger on me.  Plus, even though he's indestructible, he still falls before other removal such as Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile.

Here's his picture:

Blightsteel Colossus

Text version:

Blightsteel Colossus - 12
Mythic Rare
Artifact Creature -- Golem
Trample, infect
Blightsteel Colossus is indestructible.
If Blightsteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Blightsteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

I hope you understand Darksteel Colossus and I wish you the best in casual environments.  In Vintage times, people need to get their business done faster.  And if it can cut down those times from 2 turns to 1, things need to get replaced.  It's not me, it's you.

Sincerely,
Tinker
