Even more impressive, apparently in the time we've been away from Mirrodin, the nim have evolved a bit more toughness...

Sup? My name's Limited Player. I have a feeling you and I will be working together a lot in the near future.

Fairly good infect creature. 2B for 2/2 infect, sure its no Cystbearer, but it sure is darn close, and is in black, so it could be used in a mono black or Blue Black deck.

I wasn't a big fan of the old Nim mechanic (see Cranial Plating for the most infamous example), so I am extremely pleased to see this result of Phyrexia's efforts to compleat the local undead. Nim Replica has nothing on this Phyrexian.

Infect + Zombie = awesome. Not as cool as mindless null for the same mana cost, though. Kidding, gosh.

Love this art. So colorful, and yet unquestionably jet-Black.

Solid card for infect deck in draft. It's possible to pick him mid-late in pack most of the time, and he's much more reliable than Blackcleave Goblin

This is something that you should only use in limited play. Cystbearer is just plain better. If you do happen to use it, I hope that either it's just as a filler until you get other infect, or you're trying to build a non-green infect deck. the latter is a sort of hard prospect so far.....

Use him in my Zombie deck. The deck isn't an infect deck at all, but he presents an immediate threat of his very own when he hits the field. Zombies also have a variety of different lords to pump this guy up with. When I have a cemetery reaper and an undead warchief on the field, he comes out as a 5/4 infect zombie for 2. He really makes the opponent have to decide whether they want to destroy my Reaper, who's making tokens out of their graveyard, the infect creature that will inevitable kill them, or the warchief who's allowing me to play more threats per turn. With zombies, things get nasty fast, and when I saw an infect zombie, I squee'd.

When Cystbearer doesn't show up for work in a draft, Contagious Nim is it's faithful replacement.

This card taught us what infect shouldn't look like. I guess they didn't want people to complain too much before they released real infectors like Phyrexian vatmother and Phyrexian crusader.

@desolation_masticore: This card is a solid infect card. He won't win the game by himself but 2 infect isn't bad and paying 2B for what is essentially a 4/2 is reasonable. Unless you somehow manage to open only bomb infect cards, virtually any infect deck player will be happy to run a Contagious Nim or two for workhorse 3-drops in their Limited infect deck.

I'm currently using him in my first attempt at an all black infect deck he threatens the opponent but compared to phyrexian crusader he doesn't reall look good. The main reason i keep him is because he looks awesome as a foiland the art is great

A 2B common zombie that doesn't suck?
