At 5/3 and a morph cost of 3 life instead of 5, this would be pretty nice.

I love zombies, but still, I play him face down, he attacks and is unblocked, and I pay 5 life to deal another 1 damage? No thanks.

The fact that this isn't a "zombie a$$a$$in" makes me want to stick a fork in my eye.
Also, the fact they censor out a-s-s also makes me want to stick a fork in my eye.

Great flavor, great concept, great art, but, sadly, awful creature.

Even if you're playing black suicide aggro, there are better ways to do things than this! Please consider another creature before you start Lava Axing yourself every time you want to use this...

Well, this guy was a pretty high draft pick in my Scourge drafting days.

3 mana and 5 life for a 3/4??? At least give it swamp walk or something, this is ridiculous.

Look at it this way- you an get a 3/4 out on turn 3 just by paying a quarter of your life total. Delay getting this guy out any longer than that though and it starts to get pretty bad. Still there's a chance of a mediocre pay off right?

I like the idea of this card, but I just think it needs to be a little bigger or require less life to morph. I know it's rare compared to this being common but check out Phyrexian Scuta for a playable Zombie that reminds me of this card.

It soaks up a Bolt and survives, if they're not seeing it coming. You essentially paid only two extra life, and ended up with a 3/4. It's not too bad really.

I guess the point of this guy is that it's a 3/4 zombie for three colorless mana, that is likely to cause card disadvantage for your opponent. You play the guy and attack or block without any mana left, and your opponent might block with a 2/2 or 3/3 or whatever assuming that you can't unmorph the guy. Then your guy kills the attacker or blocker. Or survives a shock or lightning bolt.
So, while not a particularily good card, a 3/4 for three mana that might cause an opponent to waste cards is ok, despite the drawback.

Also, because the cost is your life, you don't have to worry about having untapped mana or not.

The reason this is what it is is because it can be played early in the game. I actually use the card with Dark Rituals so I get it out turn 1. Within two turns, I've already dealt 6 damage, which is worth the loss of life Plus, it's only common. If any less life were to be taken, it would have been less common. What I like even more is that it's toughness is more than 3 so it can't be destroyed by lightning. It's still not my favorite card, but it can have it's moments.

Used to think this card sucked until I saw it in play. Basically it's a gray ogre with a combat trick that's nigh impossible to play around. Also, ignore the black mana symbols in the upper corner this isn't a black card, it goes in any deck. Sure it was never playable in constructed, but this zombie has always been a reasonable cube pick.

looks like more of a "zombie cut-your-own-throat" if you ask me.

Nice combo piece for decks looking to reduce their own life total. Convalescent Care comes to mind.
