It would be nice to know why anyone has interest in Colossus. For the same 8 mana, wouldn't you rather just run Ulamog's Crusher? Unless you are limiting your self to standard, I do not see why it would see play other than timmy seeing a big creature...20/20 for just 18 mana. Is the indestructible defender that much better? For 8 mana, your spell should be winning the game, not waiting for another 10 mana before it can start attacking.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.
Currently offering 2 non-foil Kolighan's Command for a Date Stamped foil!

I ran one in my casual Eldrazi deck as one more stupid thing to do with a zillion colorless mana. It's not GOOD, but it's pretty funny.

So then it must just be the fact that both cards are in standard right now, since Wakestone Gargoyle is a creature that can make Colossus attack.
Or there are now enough easily accessible and cheap wall enablers printed now to make wall.dec a fun casual thing. Colossus was always a local casual favorite though. People like big indestrucible things.
I assume Casual demand or a long April Fool's joke. I cannot fathom any other reason
Colorless, so does not die to Ugin.
Costs more than 7 so does not die to Ugin regardless of color.
Ugin can't go higher than 7?
Well he can but then you have the opportunity to attack him in which case you didn't really need him because you had a board presence to protect him. Weird card, starting to hate it really as everybody is playing it at my LGS. Ugin control, Ugin ramp, Ugin midrange, Ugin manifest
Casual demand, because there is no reason to run Colossus. That is not a bad a thing mind you.
Yeah. We're trying to figure out why there's a little bit of demand for a 20/20 Indestructible Trample? Time travel back to 1995 and this would be a $30 card.
