I've always enjoyed playing Nekrataal. It's no longer as good as it once was but it's still a great card.

A good, solid 2-for-1 creature. It's only real drawback is it's casting cost of 4. If Nekrataal cost only 3, say 1BB, it would get five stars. As it stands, I only give it 4. Good, but not a "must have" for every black deck.

Really nice card. Good value and can be used again and again wih the myriad of graveyard manipulating black cards or artifacts such as synod sanctum.

The best black creature in Standard today. I've used this card to trade three-for-one in a tournament! A must for any serious tournament player, and great in casaual play, too. Look for it in the "Dead Again" preconstructed deck.

Very good card. You get at least 2 for one. The 2 damage first strike makes him a worthy adversairy to many creatures.
