Meh. My friend has a few mill decks, he might like this. Nonetheless, it's an okay blocker in a draft at best.

Mill is always a viable limited strategy, and UB has good blockers plus Mnemonic wall to make that doable this set.

This is actually a decent creature. 2/4 that's easy to splash with an ability that rarely backfires? Not that bad, really.

I pulled two of this guy, a second Abhorrent Overlord to match my promo one, and three, count 'em, three, Rescue from the Underworld in my prerelease pool. This guy makes it possible to play reanimator in sealed or draft.
5/5.

People are missing the point of this card - if your opponent puts back goodies on top of their deck after a scry, this mills those cards away.

Nice tribal creature type, actually pretty decent with Undead Alchemist and some zombie lords.

It's been a long time since a Zombie Centaur creature type to appear in MTG and this guy is the second one.

This card feels so blue. HIgh-toughness black creatures are going to be hard to get used to.

Sorry, Innastrad was two miles back, on the right.
@Taudisban
This card just feels like one of Innastrads zombies. A reasonably costed blocker with mill tacked on for a bonus. The card I'm most comparing it to is Armored Skaab.

Oh, hey Armored Skaab, almost didn't see you there. You've, uh... changed.

Tough body to show for after a mill-4. As mentioned, mill needs not be a win condition in Theros with these scry effects. Top-deck tutor effects (e.g. Liliana Vess' second ability) also get disrupted with mill. Also - he's a zombie, and it's possible to target yourself with the mill. My zombie deck just might want that to happen.

Mill has fun interactions with Scry, standard is going to be a tough place for the top of the library for a bit methinks.

I've got a Zombie Mill Deck and this guy works great as a blocker, miller, and fuel to the zombie horde. Useful in the right deck
Complete all-star during the BNG pre-release with Phenax. Great blocker, has an immediate effect towards your win condition, and well, mills 4 cards a turn.
I wonder if part of the thought-process behind this card was an attempt to support the Threshold mechanic common among older Centaur cards. With Pheres-Band Warchief Centaur tribal is looking fun.
