One of the cooler examples of flavor text done right for the block it's in.

Only one comment for this guy? Given, he can't really be called a good creature, especially by today's standards, but I always loved the art and flavor here. When I think of the "order" side of old Phyrexia, this is the guy I think of. I might be a little biased because it was the first phyrexian I saw.

Paying twice as much for twice the p/t of Drudge Skeletons is a pretty terrible deal, but I guess I might have taken him in limited if I was trying to stall time to get my bombs out.
Funny really, cause a Hill Giant with Black: Regenerate would seem like a fine deal at common.
I agree that he's a great flavor plug, but being a kind of lousy wall isn't much of an honor by anyone's standards though. Always been a kind of fan of that Phyrexian 'wait... that's a skeleton?" feeling. They mess with stuff, that's what they do.
