Uhg..this card is bad by ALL standards. Play Mass of Ghouls or something if you want a vanilla zombie for 5 mana

This card is just terrible. If it had a really cheap unearth cost then mabye it would be okay but no, its just vanilla. This card is a waste of matter.

I feel bad for artists of cards like this, knowing your card will be worthless and people will absolutely hate it.

Heh, an abysmal vanilla common. It's so fun to draw these from your boosters.

Basically identical to Zombie Goliath, and just as bad.

I want this card to not exist. Even Zephyr Spirit can be put to good use by some uber-Johnny, but this thing is just pathetic.

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't mind it much. It's just an overcosted midrange creature and I really wouldn't mind filling out my curve with one of these in a draft. It's not anywhere near as unshatteringly abysmal as people say it is. Yeah, it's cr@p, but of a relatively mild variety.
1/5

I like how they dredged it up, hit it with lightning and enchanted it with fire, and made a Lightning Reaver. Also the art is the only thing this has going for it, but still... dat art.

@NoobOfLore

No decent cards at 4Black?

Here's where we can beg to differ.

-He Who Hungers: If you mix this with Bloodghast, please, tell me how potentially 4+, non-mana restrictive, land hitting, THOUGHTSEIZE a turn is bad.
-Extinction ANNIHILATES tribal.
-Call to the Grave. So you're gonna say probably the single best control card for zombies isn't so much as decent...
-Magus of the Coffers now I'm getting really concerned that you're saying that Cabal Coffers on a 4/4 stick is bad. What?
-Shriekmaw, one of the best evokers hands down, no one can deny that, but apparently you found a way to.
-Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker, the lord of all things black weenie, hell, with 4Black as his cost, he's splashable! I know a ton of people love to hate on this card too, but have you ever thought of the devastation and advantage you cause if you choose him when you use Divine Reckoning?! Didn't think so.
-Unburial Rites. The epic reanimator powerhouse of the latest Solar Flare decks. Totally horrible, never worth a second glance. Well, maybe if your username is NoobOfLore that can apply.

Bravo my good sir, and that only took me 3 minutes to go to the advanced search, and look at 4Black. But hey, I saw a good amount of others but what do I know?

I pity the poor folks who dug for 34 days just to unearth this crap vanilla.

It's Zombie Goliath, with a marginally more relevant(maybe(?)) creature type.
Not absolutely terrible, but definitely not impressive.
No need to hate people, they can't all be Wild Nacatl.
Fun fact: There are no decent creatures at 4Black.

I made a point about "extinct" creatures and how they should flavourfully be bad (see Viashino Skeleton).

This is one of those cards: They went extinct because they died off due to natural selection. It's just a shame they are being forced into this world that has evolved beyond them and judged unfairly.

...Almost like an analogy for power creep.

@Ferlord
lol ya. My only gripe is that the flavour text pretends that this thing is strong lol.

@Champion_Kitsune: Juggernaut begs to differ.
