So good that is not another Mindless Null.
Undying make him more interesting zombie, but why keep somethig that only attack?

An attacker you have to kill twice, and comes back as a 3/3.

I might like it better if it could ONLY block.

While Undying is awesome, this guy comes down so late that it's tough to get aggressive with him.

Not as good as it looks. I've seen people lose Limited games because they pull this jank and cast it on turn 4, but they really need a blocker to stop early game attackers. This thing can't block, and even if it attacks, I'd rather take the 2 damage each turn if I'm dealing that much or more in return every time I attack.

When I first saw the spoiler for Undying, I knew that there are going to be creatures like this. Above-average-costing creature with undying. Oh well, I'm content that they don't make all Undying creatures uncommon+(like how they made all indestructible stuff uncommon+).

A last-resort card at best in draft. Also the worst undying creature, by a significant margin.

If Stormbound Geist can cost 3, why can't this?

Jar of Eyeballs claims another victim.

It loses to Stormbound Geist on all metrics, and yet blue is supposed to be a worse creature color than black.

DrJones, you are so close to being absolutely right.

It's just a shame that Stormbound Geist costs 1BlueBlue and this 3Black: it's a lot more colour-heavy. It's like comparing a Leatherback Baloth to a Trained Armodon. ALTHOUGH Leatherback is 3-cmc and a 4/5 versus a 3-cmc 3/3, the colour weight is what kills Leatherback. You must be playing mono-green, or have some kind of Prismatic Omen out to get the green.

Still, you're right: Flying + able to block only flying + 3-cmc is a HUGE advantage.
