I was happy to see it return in Tenth, although I'm not so keen on the new artwork.

I love the artwork for this thing, Greg Staples is my favorite artist and I think he did a good job making it as beastly as it is.

Voltaic Construct can make this much more effective.

It is not as good as it seems... for untap seems to much for me.

Good... if you have another way of untapping Mt Sardia. Seedborn Muse is my recomendation.

My friend was using this guy as a big, bad creature.
When he payed for its untap to deal the finishing blow,
I cast the Doom Blade I had drawn the turn before.
That 9 cost is a real downer.
@Paleopaladin - Since the creature was created long before the addition of indestructable, you can't really ret-con it on...
@Neutralion - You're not meant to pay that cost to untap the thing...

"Hey! Colossus of Sardia! Are you old? Getting to worn out, can't get out of bed without a proper sacrifice?" "Then try Voltaic Key! With new-age technology, this tool can make you feel 12 years younger and feel great!"
"Let's hear some comments some users have for Voltaic Key:"
"(Phyrexian Colossus): Every day, I'd wake up, but i couldn't get out of bed. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt like a loser, and my friends were out there, having fun, killing themselves for the cause. That all changed when I got Voltaic Key, and boy, did things change around here. I was smashing through our enemies defences like no other! Thanks Voltaic Key!"
"So order your own Voltaic Key, now in the newest 2011 edition!"
"Because remember: Being untapped is the key to success!"
Yeah, sorry about that...

He obviously doesn't hold a candle to the Mirrodin Colossi, but back in the day he wasn't bad. There were very few creatures bigger than him, plus the huge untap cost was easily avoided with Instill Energy or Eternal Warrior.
I was very happy to see the original big guy reprinted with such awesome art!

with lots of splicers and voltaic constructs, i'm looking forward to seeing how 4 of these guys work in my golem deck. even without those, running him with a 4x set of urza lands (which were printed in the same set as the original colossus), always made him worthwhile in my book

Move over, Colossus of Sardia, the Akroans did you one better:
