This thing would go very well on a Phyrexian Negator. However, then an Earthquake might kill it...

Deathtouch comes through, haha.

deathtouch does not get through. are you mentally challenged? deathtouch is based on dealing damage. if no damage is dealt, no deathtouch.

Deathtouch doesn't get through, not even deathtouch + pinging get through. If you end up resorting to deathtouch + global pinging to address it, well, I think we can safely say the medicine has become worse than the cure. Great card.

Jedijoe: You didn't read the card at all, did you?

I believe it's in the rules somewhere that if you put this and Argentum Armor on a creature, it's name changes to "Cruelty Incarnate"

nice. only cards that can kill it are board wipes and (this is next to imposible) Auras.

things like Black Sun's Zenith will still get through. Not targeted, and -X/-X is not considered dealing damage.

or you can just Diabolic Edict when the chance presents itself.

@Shadowflaam: Think you meant Darksteel Forge.

This is a nice card, but for the most part I'd prefer Darksteel Plate. Most of the targeting effects I see play are ones that would kill the creature anyway, and indestructibility protects against most of what this card won't. Plus it costs 1 less and won't get Naturalized like this can.

Use on Platinum Angel with a Darksteel Foundry to give everyone a great big "F*** YOU!" and lose all your friends.

Until you run out of creatures and the Gatekeeper collects his brutal toll.
EDIT:
sarroth is right, Darksteel Forge. However, he is also stupid due to the prevalence of exile effects. My idea is cooler.

Expensive to drop but the cheaper equip cost kind of makes up for it. Makes a very sturdy blocker.

Evolves into General's Kabutops.

Strictly better than Lt. Surge's Raichu

Technically speaking, deathtouch CAN get through. As long as it's not happening during combat, that is. Of course, with the shroud built in, there's going to be more than a few thorns about doing it that way, too. (Alpha Brawl targeting a deathtoucher without the kabuto?)
