Phyrexian Hulk

A vanilla 5/4 for six generic mana with no keywords, no triggers, no activated abilities: this is a benchmark, not a card you build around. It exists to mark the floor of a power curve, the bare statistical line against which more expensive or more colored creatures get measured. The Phyrexian Golem framing files it under two lineages (the Phyrexian flavor line and the Golem artifact tribe), but neither tribe does any work here; mechanically, there is nothing past the body to discuss. Six mana for a 5/4 that does nothing else is a rate the game outgrew almost immediately, and that obsolescence is exactly what gives the card its value as a reference point: it records where colorless beef used to sit before efficiency crept upward across decades of design. There is no constraint balancing it because there is nothing to balance: the generic cost is the entire tax, and the absence of evasion or recursion is the entire drawback. Any deck of any color can cast it, which is the only thing the card was ever asking to be true. It is the common a set prints to fill out the curve and hand a colorless deck a body it can always afford.
