such a cheap cost for a regenerating creature ;) it was awesome in limited, albeit it was a shame that we had to draft our snowcovered lands to go alongside it...

This card can really keep you safe when you play a control deck. It's hated by many people around me now!^^
The worst thing I - or it - can imagine though is trample...
This creature is actually better than Drudge Skeletons.

I ordered 20 Snow-Covered Swamps and 4 of this guy to replace my Drudge Skeletons. This guy and Fog of Gnats have really made my deck for me early game. After having played both this and Drudgies, I don't understand why this is rated lower then the later. This is my favorite one drop in the game by far.

Pretty freakin awesome. One mana cheaper than drudgies, and any color of mana to regen, as long as you have snow lands, which are definetly better 100% of the time. 5/5. Beats the crap out of you.

If ever you are considering Drudge Skeletons, remember this guy, make your mana base snow, and make your curve that much lower.

Subtly good, since it's limited saw few tramplers. Outside of that, it is fairly meh.

And he won't just die... One of the best one-drops there is, if you just replace your Swamps with Snow-covered Swamps...

Holy crap, how are people not rating this higher?
It's a one-drop 1/1 with regeneration, which in anybody's book should be awesome. To top that off, the activation cost for the regeneration ability isn't even color-specific, it's just snow-specific. With the {B} casting cost that makes this guy easily splashable; the only thing you'd have to do is make sure most if not all of your other lands are of the snow-covered variety, and snow-covered basic lands are not expensive by any measure. Hell, there are even dual snow lands if you don't want to screw up your mana variety, e.g. Tresserhorn Sinks.
Will-o'-the-Wisp is still better because it's a one-drop regenerator with flying, but it's a very close thing. This guy is a close second, or possibly tied for second.

IMO this is better than Will-O, at least early game. (I'll be running both..)
This guy can kill other */1s which means that people who don't want to lose permanents uselessly fapping their creatures at you will hold back, even though they can get *some* damage through. Wisp doesn't scare off small guys and thus only slows down less-aggroy decks. Imagine Goblins, Elves, or similar. These will attack regardless. But if you use This guy you can hold them off until turn 3 or so when they get a lord out; which if you built your deck right should be curving into a nasty big creature like Obliterator or maybe ramping into a Reiver Demon.
While a lot of removal (especially since Zendikar) can kill this guy dead, wasting your removal on this guy and Wisps is what you want (especially the non-regenerating variant of destroy cards) as that may well save your nasties because the opponent didn't wait.
That all said, the regeneration doesn't care about the color of mana, which means this guy can be splashed into *any* deck that has black in it. I might just have to do that..

Wow. Better in two ways than Drudge Skeletons. Not strictly better, but certainly worth playing over them.
