Yes, just what zombies need another 4cmc zombie. It's not just zombies it's vampire to they need more early players.
I actually disagree; I think Vampires need a solid finisher that does something when it hits the board or helps boost your Vampires; they seem solid early game; they just can't seal the deal. It would be cool if we saw a rare cycle of lords again for each tribe in each color pair. Here is what I think vampires need:
"Whenever a Vampire creature you control deals damage, put a +1/+1 counter on it."
It's essentially a boosted-up Rakish Heir. Put that on a medium-sized body with some form of evasion and boom!
As for Zombies, they really need some cheap, effective zombies. I'm not even asking for Gravecrawler (Although it would be very kind of them). I'm fine with just some cheap but solid common zombies. Walking Dead is the Perfect common zombie to bring back; it hasn't been printed in an eternity and fits well with the set. If not that, I'd gladly take a new functional reprint of Reassembling Skeleton except remade as a zombie. Carrion Feeder could easily be remade (because I imagine it is also too strong for standard with Wizard's current mindset) into a 2 cmc zombie that can block. Typhoid Rats as a Zombie and not a Rat would be a solid common zombie for them to give us. Black Cat was always a nice budget option; maybe give us something like it except not random and more beefy?
It wouldn't take much to make me satisfied. I'm just afraid Wizards won't come through.
