Well your opponent will just take the single damage point when you attack with that guy unless there is an irresistible prey, although it's an interestingly good one-time blocker against a fattie. But i agree, that's kind of a strange Zombie. Well, i rather have an Escaped Null than a Mindless Null nontheless.

At first I thought it wasn't all that spectacular, but then I noticed "Lifelink". This guy is rather expensive, but everything is more expensive in this set. I like how his ability can be used offensively as pseudo-evasion, while defensively he can create unproductive attacks for your opponent.

Haha only think i liked about bramble creeper better though was crafty pathmage shenanigans. The only thing you can really do here is Lure. It doesn't really combo. Good card though, I still like it better than Bramble
Doesn't really need the Tunneler. If you need to stall for a bomb (like a few turns to drop an Eldrazi) he can stay at home threatening to block + more life gain.

Expensive wall, or a 1-point unblockable. +4/+1 would have made it playable.

I was at a draft tournament, and I saw this equipped with Splinter Twin up against a fully leveled Transcendent Master equipped with an Ogre Cleaver. It was cool watching the progressive lifegain.

when does the +5/+0 trigger? and more specifically, could an Escaped Null block an Aura Gnarlid?

@AbeLincoln: It triggers when the opponent says that one of his creatures is blocking Escaped Null, or when you decide to block one of his creatures with the Null.
As for Aura Gnarlid, it can't be blocked by Escaped Null unless you've found a way to bring the Gnarlid down to being a 1/X, since anything assigned to block Aura Gnarlid has to have the same Power or more.

14 unblockable damage, gain 14 life. Ya i'll take it.
How does that work with a sorcery that gives the thing unblockable and +1/0. Even with the rebound, all joo got is 6 health and damage.
Thinking about it, it makes Ichorclaw Myr look silly although I still love it over this thing.
4/5 for being nicely designed
