It That Betrays
Most Annihilator creatures punish you for letting them attack: you watch your board shrink two permanents at a time and try to win before you run out of things to lose. This one rewrites the math. The sacrifice it forces is not destruction but a transfer; every nontoken permanent an opponent gives up arrives on your side instead, which means each attack does not just strip their board, it builds yours. Both abilities trigger and feed each other: the nontoken permanents lost to combat become permanents gained, and any nontoken permanent the opponent sacrifices elsewhere (a fetchland, a sacrifice outlet, a creature fed to its own ability) routes through the same theft clause, so even their voluntary choices fuel your side. The twelve-mana price is the load that the engine earns back in a single swing. A body this large with a board-converting clause attached is meant to be the thing your ramp deck is climbing toward, not a card you cast on curve, and the 11/11 frame makes the clock real once it lands. Among the colorless Eldrazi top end, this is the one that does not merely overwhelm: it cannibalizes, turning the opponent's own resources into the engine that finishes them.
