Artifact
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
7, T, Sacrifice Unstable Obelisk: Destroy target permanent.
Its collapse is like the lashing out of a long-dead civilization that resents being forgotten.

My actual thoughts on the card, now:
- It'll probably end up being budget-friendly, unless by some miracle all three of the decks it's included in have a True-Name Nemesis -esque card hidden in there somewhere.
- It's permanent destruction when you really need it, like Brittle Effigy is creature removal for those decks that are short on it.
- It's another card that gets around Iona, Shield of Emeria , which has always been a problem for monocolored decks that need an answer.
- It's a three-drop mana rock. Even though it doesn't tap for colors, it's still decent acceleration.
- Since you sacrifice, rather than exile, this card, it's easier to recur that things like Brittle Effigy or Perilous Vault .
It's not perfect, and yes, it's expensive, but in a lower budget, slower EDH deck, I think this card has a slot.

10 mana to blow anything is not good even in EDH, the fact that it produces mana makes it a little better. It's probably okay in the preconstructed decks.

Still don't know how to link a photo though.
