Really solid creature but SEVEN MANA? REALLY?! Basically makes it unplayable.

You guys are crazy. This guy is like a Baneslayer assassin Zombie. He will probably hit play before a Baneslayer, ( Black can have 9 mana first turn with just Dark Rituals, it really is the king of manaroids) and can then dispatch of him without even trying.Plus he has 2 solid creature types so I give this guy a 4/5.

it may be good against bsa, but to get it out early enough you will need loads of dark rits, and the card advantage loss from those will be huge when your opponent path to exiles it (yes, they will)

His ability is... interesting, I suppose. But why did they have to put it on a 7-drop? It should have been a cheap 2/2 (hopefully in a colour other than black or white) in order to combat knights.

I think the printing operator was either drunk... or high...
The toughness and the mana cost definately got mixed up...
This card won't even see casual play...
-5 / 5

Bad as he might be, he can still take Baneslayer out in the air...

I was going to run this in a Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck until I saw the mana cost. This might have been pretty decent, if it came out in Ice Ages. Sadly, the Lord had to outsource zombie armies.
If they gave it first strike on top of it's ability, I would play it.

Guys. Guys. He's a flying uncommon that ends the game in 4 swings. He's meant for LIMITED.
Granted, we forget these days with all of the cuh-raziness, but a 3/3 flyer without any relevant abilities was, at the time of this's printing, a limited staple. This is a 5/3 with an excessively relevant ability.
In short, resolving this shuts down any knight based lines of attacks and then kills rather quickly. At 7 mana it can be an uncommon because it's a control card.
At 5 mana everyone in black would want it and it'd skew games. As a card made entirely for limited (and very elegantly so) it's great. Costing too much to be used by anyone who doesn't want exactly what this care does means that it can be grabbed as a later pick by decks that need this sort of utility to function but which need earlier picks for the guts of their deck.

Such a bad design.
If it at least would have first strike itself - that would be kind of cool. Buten even then.... CMC 7 is a design space that should be rarely touched. And when not with such mediocre cards like this, they should be inspiring!
