Does not seem like a reasonable option for every zombie deck. I guess it makes more sense for a blue black control deck with cards like Twisted Abomination.

Easily the most Vorthosian set i have ever seen. This has opened me up to a whole new world. (preferably not the one on which this is taking place)

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Standard Human players suddenly cried out in terror...and were suddenly silenced.
Boo hiss. Back to the drawing board....

Let's be honest. Let's be COMPLETELY honest here: Who cares its Standard capabilities? Who cares about its CMC, who cares about any of it; this card's flavour, abilities, artwork, and flavour are far beyond comprehensible words. It's so freakin' awesome.

The "destroy all human" part of it makes me chuckle wholeheartedly. I like flavorful cards over powerful cards, and this one ranks next to Form of the Squirrel in my book.

this card is stupid: it should have been an instant, that way you can cast it on your opponents turn when they are active player; the way it's currently worded you lose the game first!

This card is full of flavor and full of constructed unplayable cards. Coincidence?
...then destroy all Humans. -> Why? flavor can't justify tons of crappy cards! ....then destroy all non-zombie creatures. -> So much better and fine at cmc6

The Human-destroying is gravy. Getting all your dead stuff back is what matters. Also, there's a reason why Grimgrin is there behind it. If you use this with Grimgrin in your graveyard, you can easily sac one of your zombies to untap him.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the best card in the set.
Oh, it's too expensive to be constructed-worthy? Pish-posh! Oh, it's not an instant, therefore it is bad? Fiddlesticks! Oh, "Destroy All Humans" is too narrow? Bollocks, I say!
I exhibit my counter to these disingenuous assertions: The card's name is Zombie Apocalypse. ZOMBIE. APOCALYPSE.
I rest my case.

Hello, Shields of Velis Vel. 3BBBW: Destroy all creatures target opponent controls and reanimate all your zombies. Throw in Ashes of the Fallen or Conspiracy to make all your creatures come back, if you're not playing all Zombies.

Along came a Rooftop Storm and suddenly 12 cmc got X amount of Zombies in the door and then brought X Zombies back to the party. U/B Reanimate Zombie is lookin Sick Nasty right about now!
Seriously tho, this card is RIDICULOUS!! If it would have let you pick up to 2 Zombies and had the same deal w/humans it would have been a great card! But no, you got 8 zombies in the grave? Bring em. 12 Zombies? Yep. 50?? COME ON! That's just insanely awesome!
Don't forget it also reanimates changeli- oh, wait. Never mind.

One of my friends played this card in his Zombie deck last night, in a five-person Planechase game. What he failed to notice was that all he had in his graveyard was one Diregraf Ghoul, while two of his opponents had Mausoleum Guards and Bitterheart Witches on the battlefield. That was the biggest fail I've seen in Magic.

Here's a card for you that might make you do a double-take:
Loyal. Cathar. Yep. Anyone else want to see how many death-trigger humans might actually be GOOD to have in play when you cast Zombie Apocalypse?
Doomed Traveller comes to mind as well.
Come on people- think harder! Let's make a Black-White Human/Zombie deck, with this as our 'Moonmist' ! o.o

Obviously meant for a Zombie deck, not much use elsewhere... Maybe combo-able with Shields of Velis Vel to turn all your opponents' creatures into humans.

I tested my new U/B zombie deck yesterday in a multiplayer game. Too many sorceries and too little creatures, and I had to cast this to keep myself alive. So I raised only one Butcher Ghoul, and there were no humans in play at all. That was probably the lamest Zombie "Apocalypse" ever anywhere.
I still won with that one ghoul though.

This card is twice as boring now because IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. :/
"Yeahhhh, it can be. Wizards printed this angel in the same block pretty much just to crush your every hope and dream. And she exiles the Zombs, so no back-and-forth trumping one another. You're just one-upped. Deal."

Just to clarify, since it says "destroy ALL humans", does that include the humans that are in the libraries, hands, and graveyards, or just the ones on the battlefield?

I played this card alongside R&D's Secret Lair. I proceeded to kill everyone at the card shop; the store owner, the patrons, the advancing police. Everyone but the dog.
When I finally got surrounded and arrested, they tried to charge me with mega-murder. I got cleared of all charges because there is no such thing as "mega-murder", and the judge, being a fellow cardflopper, understood the rules of the game.
