Spellkyte and this guy.. Just redirect all that damaging crap to him and use some forced taunt or something.

This guy reminds me of Belltower Sphinx. 5 mana 2/5 with alternate win con through blocking! this one is quite the monster by comparison but can't block flyers I guess.
It's just so expensive. Everything about it is desirable, of course, except the little cost issue. I'm not necessarily even saying that the cost isn't deserved; it just might not be quite enough to really tip scales at 5 mana in constructed. In any case, I'm glad the card exists! It's a lovely infect card.
Expensive, but guaranteed damage to anyone dumb enough to hit it and a toughness that puts it out of most common burn ranges. That being said, expensive. Very god damned expensive.

@Studoku: no offense but you're making a foolish comparison, a mythic rare costing four of the same colored mana compared to an uncommon with only one colored mana, their abilities are only slightly similar, they wouldn't even be used in the same strategy at all

Its ability and art put me in the mind of the Xenomorph from the Aliens series

I wouldn't be so quick as to Not compare the two, however, I agree that that particular comparison was unfair. The true story comes about in flavor. You see, there is an interesting tale told in the scars block, at least I see it as such. In scars we get Skinrender, a four cost dude that is really cool, and one of sheoldred's early creations. Then in besieged, we get Scourge Servant, another 3/3 brought to us by sheoldred, this time costing 5. Move on to NP, and we have obliterator and this beauty. Both retain the CC of their former iterations, but have been perfected. And also they hurt if you hurt them. I think it's a neat little cycle.

Quite cool in {B}/{U} infect control. Gives a large blocker, you can still pump some good infect into the opponent quite easily; and it's difficult to deal with outside of straight removal.

The best thing about him is the mean glare he gives to half of your opponent's board.
That being said, expensive. Very god damned expensive.

3.5/5 IMO
