Well, since black isn't a master in creating mana of any color, the life-loss stands to reason.
But for what reason exactly did that guy need a casting cost of three?

Seems pretty good to me, even if the mana cost is a tad expensive.

...If only it costed B or even 1B, then it would be awesome.

Black is not great at off-colour mana production. Now:

"I don't always produce off-colour mana, but when I do, I prefer Necra Disciple."

What incredible art.

1 colorless too much for the ability / body. Neat flavor, though, and again... that art!

@Solidsoldier- that's possibly the most awkward combo ever. Try Vesper Ghoul with Freed from the real, double Bazaar Trader or Donates and Mindslaver instead.
Results may vary.
Also I'd like to note that this would be such a very awesome card if it weren't for the casting cost. 1B would've made a great card, even BB would be sweet. I mean look at the art, look at the flavour text, look at the creature type. It's a zombie frickin druid!

incredible art and a lot of truth in the flavour

I bet this is totally going to be in the Premium Deck Series: Graveborn deck.

'virtually' Birds of Paradise, except zombified, neuterfied, a foil one won't jack up the price of the deck too much, and at the end of the day the tribal synergies will probably make it actually better than if they'd put in Birds.

Like some others said, if this was a 1 cost, it'd be a lot better. I mean, you've got the mana myrs and Scuttlemutt if you need some actual mana production, and Scuttlemutt costs the same as this.

I think the reason he's 2B is because he's a zombie. you'll notice many zombie cards seem overpriced. that's most likely due to the fact that they have many tribal and graveyard benefits that other tribes don't have. like ghoulcaller's chant and call to the grave, these cards have built-in benefits that you pay for in an extra colorless or sometimes two, depending on the card...that's just my look on it anyway.

Fun facts: Vesper means evening prayer. It works with this guy, a religious (sorta...by the flavor text) that gives hope but is slowly darkerning to shadow. Or something like that. Anyway, good for scrabble.
