Your opponent drops this you drop a Grave Bramble. The longest stand off ever ensues.

I thought this would be a fun mechanic but then I realized that it would only make a standoff. (Because if you hav a more powerful attacker then you dom't want to sacrifice it to block and you're winning. And if your opponent has a stronger monster then you aren't attacking because your monster will just be blocked.
However this is pretty good in dimir, who has a lot of evasion to bypass the second scenario.

This effect will be useful because of the potential to use it more than using that actually using it. Interesting.

Should have been a "Zombie Wall". I mean, tell me that "blockade" is not a name that a wall would have! Also, the old Wall of Corpses is a wall.

It's too bad or couldn't have just gotten a straight up wall. Black hasn't had an interesting wall in a long time, and I'd like to see just what they could be. On that note, still doesn't have a single wall...

Really, really awesome. Mortus Strider, Reassembling Skeleton and even Bloodghast can provide suitable sac targets for multiple deathtouch blockings. The toughness isn't great, but against middle-sized creatures this is quite good.

Jealous of other potential mentors, Willy Wonka murdered Charlie's eccentric teacher and added him to the fortifications.

I can't help but see "Corpse Brigade" from Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions every time I look at the name of this card. There's almost no correlation whatsoever, but it brings nostalgia to me in a good way.

Not expecting 5s or 4s or anything, but surprised at how low this is currently rated. With Innistrad block Zombies, especially Gravecrawler, this can be pretty awesome. Those decks tend to run low on defense, and with the ability to bring the sacced creature back (or have it come back from undying...here's looking at you, Geralf's Messenger), this fills one of the few small gaps those types of decks can have.

How do you keep your enemies away?
Build a wall made out of your past enemies.

I have a zombie tribal pauper EDH deck that focuses on attrition. I use creatures like black cat to make attacking me painful, as well as a ton of removal to constantly batter down my opponent. Using cards like ghoulcaller's chant, I can keep getting the chumps back. This card works wondrously as it allows me to use those 'when this creature dies' creatures to chump, except now it will kill the creature they 'block'.
This card isn't great or anything, but it's pretty strong if you use it right.

Compare to Blood Bairn. This guy can fill in for her, providing free sac just fine.

I can think of a very punny new name for this card. You ready for this? Here it is:
