Forum:Obelisk the Tormentor How Can You Beat Him

I was reading this cards effect and wondering for the life of me how the heck can you beat him. I mean if he is tribute summon and you dont have something on your side of the field bigger then him already it seems impossible to beat him. He shuts down all traps spells and effect monsters so the only way would be by straight battle and with his attack I can't think of any monster that could simply be normal summoned to beat him.

Is he simply a "I win" card being even worse then a JD or DAD hitting the field?
