normally a 4 star card, but I got to say it, running a zombie deck, this card has saved me more times then any other zombie. so 5 stars. Why? Simple. its fast, it pumps up all other zombies, as well as creates them. Heck, even outside a zombie deck, it allows you to take a card from someones grave yard, get rid of it, and gives you a token. how bad does it sting if you terror someones best creature, and before they can rez it (say with breath of life or something) you make it into a zombie? Its versatile. And yes, it might get targeted for death, but hey, either your running a deck thats not a main card so it doesnt ruin a strategy, or running a zombie deck, and you'll get it back later as well as youve got plunty of other zombies that help out (cue lord of the undead, death boron, zombie lord)

Nice to have another zombie that pumps up the others, removal/tokens is great too. Toss in some Undead Warchiefs, Lord of the Undead, and Death Barons and watch them grow! Don't forget the gempalm polluters, work especially well in multiplayer games, palm one opponent and let the zombies loose on the other. Lord of the Undead + Polluter makes for decent card draw as well. Their life goes down and you get more cards.

ok i get first shot at this.... LOVE THIS CARD! with all the removal available, you can really mass a ton of tokens very fast. and can anyone think of another card that will work good with this? how about vengeful dead and gempalm polluter? you can even use tombstone stairwell, remove your opponents critters from there grave, and when tombstone goes off, gee they dont have any beasties on there side of the field! kinda nasty huh? I didnt give it 5 stars because when this thing comes out, its TOAST! unless you can protect it, like diplomatic immunity or wispersilk cloak.
