Now for those of you who think this is just another Darksteel Colossus, think again. Darksteel Colossus is a great card, and I assume Wizards thought they were keeping it from being too powerful by adding the cannot go to the graveyard caveat, but its still an 11/11 with Trample and Industructability. Blightsteel Colossus has all of these abilities, and more, all for one extra mana.
The difference is the Blightsteel version has Infect. A player can survive a few attacks from a Darksteel Colossus, perhaps even draw into some kind of removal, defense or life gain. This is not the case with the Blightsteel version. Infect makes this card all the better, a player cannot survive one hit. One colorless mana more does not justify such a ridiculous increase in power. Has Wizards forgotten Tinker? Or Copy artifact? Or is the Type II/ Extended world all they bother with?
