Drawing two cards and paying 2 life is worth about 2 mana, so you get a 4/4 for about 4. Add to that that he triggers also on zombify and such effects, and you have a card that is not of tournament but fine casual deck quality.

Costs too much. By turn 6, two cards aren't a big boost and a 4/4 isn't anything special. I'd rather play 2 Phyrexian Ragers.

big body and 2 cards to help put down whatever your opponent is doing with 6 mana

there should be an 8/8 for twelve at rare to complete the cycle!!!

Looks like an Artifact Creature. Too bad WotC didn't make colored artifacts until Alara. Yea, I know about Transguild Courier, but that's a special case and should be grooped with the 'normal' artifacts.

Pretty solid, but there are better black creatures for 6.

A decent card, and really awesome artwork, I might add.

Exactly. This is my favorite guy to discard with Last Rites and then Zombify the following turn.

What do you mean by, "by turn 6, 2 cards aren't a big boost?" Card advantage>all no matter what turn it is.

4 colorless for a 4/4 and a Sign in Blood in one card? Not bad.

A 6/6 for 9 (draw/lose 3) would be a better fit in the cycle.

Very fair. Nothing particularly flashy. I'd say good. Could use trample or something though. People expect epic board presence at 6cmc.
