The take
It's not a hardcast threat, it's a reanimation and cheat-effect payoff that ends games the turn it lands.
32.51
USD, still priced like a build-around finisher rather than a fringe pick
Plays well with
-
Sneak Attack
Puts Blightsteel into play for one mana with haste, letting it swing for lethal infect damage the same turn.
-
It That Betrays
Both are premium Clone targets, since copying either one gives you an immediate game-ending threat instead of a normal creature.
-
Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
Effects that put multiple big creatures into play at once, like Vivien, Monsters' Advocate, can land Blightsteel alongside Ulamog for a one-turn finish.

Blightsteel Colossus Rulings
- Aug 7, 2020
A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
- Aug 7, 2020
Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.
- Aug 7, 2020
Damage that a creature with infect deals doesn't result in damage being marked on a creature or a player losing life. Instead, it results in that many -1/-1 counters being put on that creature or that many poison counters being given to that player. Damage dealt to planeswalkers still results in that planeswalker losing that many loyalty counters.
- Aug 7, 2020
The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
