With the Phyrexian flavor my initial thought was to put it in a black or artifact deck, but the I decided to use it as a finisher in a white life gain deck.

or you could use it in any deck just make sure you have a Voltiac or Galvanic key to untap it and you pay no life

using the keys to untap this card is the way to go, but having the 8 life ability is a plus anyways incase your opponents are playing one of those "do not untap" decks... just pay the 8 life to deal 8 damage. (then maybe fling him!)

Great in my B/W lifegain deck as a beefy attacker.

I really want to say he needs trample, but honestly, he does not.

I'll direct your attention to Umbral Mantle.

I can't wait for Scars block to have one of these huge Phyrexian dudes, instead of the smaller, infect-ier guys.

@alucard311: Blightsteel Colossus. I think an apology is in order.

It's good, for sure. However, I wouldn't usually bother to pay the 8 life to untap it, I'd rather use Tideforce Elemental or Fatestitcher. This is quite what you call a bomb.

Umbral Mantle is good. But I prefer Necromancy for a reanimator. I guess that's not colourless though.

He's like an automobile.
Requires a key.

Your probably better off with Hand of Emrakul today. But its still respectable fatty and works well with untap.

White border: Bad
7th Edit artwork: Less good
Modern artifact border: Bad

I think the modern artifact border is neccessary but I reeeally prefer the old artifact borders.
