You wouldn't think it would really be worth it, but some times it works in your favor to regenerate Zombies in tribal. Also has awesome synergy with rotlung reanimator

Not really sure why this has such a low score? It's basically drudge skeletons, except it allows you to use it on any zombie for 1 more colorless. I think that's easily worthy of a 4/5.

it pretty much says "zombies have 1B regenerate" which actually makes the aveage zombie deck allot tougher id say all should try to fit in 2

Weak creature, but gives all Zombies the nasty regenerate abilities they sould have. I remember zombie tribal decks... Then there was Ravager-Affinity.

My friend used to think that you could regenerate stuff you sacrifice... This card in his zombie deck made that a thorn in my side.

It's one of the meanest cards in my zombie horde deck. You need to exile it, force it to be sacrificed, or give it enough -1/-1 so it dies. Otherwise, you will be fighting the zombie horde forever.
There was a really epic situation we got into once. My friend was using his Uril EDH deck and he had runes of the deus, armadillo cloak, and scourge of the nobilis on him. He had kessig wolfrun as well for massive pumps. He was gaining us about 120 life each turn (lifelink + healing from armadillo cloak + ~30 power, and doublestrike), and the zombie deck was empty. We just had to wait for a way to get rid of boneknitter.
The problem was that endless ranks of the dead was in play. The zombie damage was increasing quickly while we were gaining roughly the same amount of life each turn. It was only a matter of time before the zombie damage overtook our lifegain and we would die. There was also a noxious ghoul which threatened to kill off Uril through massive amounts of triggers.
I was utterly useless at that point because my hand was burnt out and any creatures I played would instantly melt.
After 6 nail-biting turns of this, my friend finally drew path to exile. Just 2 more turns and we would have died. It was an epic game.
