Gift of the Deity is the only good combo with this card. Otherwise its kinda useless. Usually by turn four there aren't going to be that many creature cards in a player's grveyard and being a 2/2 creature doesn't justify the mediocre ability.

This guy would be great if his CC was a little lower, but a 2/2 for 4CC is pretty brutal. I mean, even with a regular regeneration ability (a la Drudge Skeletons for example) he would still be tough to Justify.
As usual, Creakwood Liege helps out immensely, giving you a 4/4 which is a lot easier to stomach. The fact that he is a zombie doesn't hurt either, as he will benefit from zombie-centric cards like Death Baron.
2.5/5, but really only due to combo potential.

This is bad not only because it's a 2/2 for 4, but because its ability is anti-synergistic with a dredge deck. You want to keep your creature cards in your graveyard to fuel Svogthos and Golgari Grave-Troll, not remove them to regenerate a puny 2/2.

The flavor text is great, the mechanics are great, the creature subtypes are priceless: 5/5.
It's cards like this that make EDH/Commander so enjoyable for me, because those decks don't have to be super-competitive and it's possible to play cards that are just cool and thematic, like a Plant Zombie in a Cadaverous Bloom deck :)

Meh.
Should've been 1GB or been a 3 powered body.

This is a pure limited card.
I can't see it being used in casual, obviously not in constructed, it's got no MP chops and it's just not that interesting.
But in limited sometimes a 2/2 with 'free' regen is what you want.
