This is THE best charm of the set. Jund zombies was fairly clearly the deck to beat prior to this charm being released.
The first mode will rarely affect them. It kills aristocrat, but that's it. If it kills gravecrawler you can just recast it. It will almost never impact your board state and will often wipe token or weenies.
Regenerating all of your creatures is ridiculous. Messenger, crawler, and aristocrat were already almost impossible to kill, now you have yet another life to give them
Destroy target enchantment is the most powerful by far. Rest in Peace and, to a lesser extent, Detention Sphere are pure hosers for zombie. I would say that with rest in peace, zombies might actually be manageable. With the charm, detention sphere and oblivion ring will most likely work against you. Why? Messenger is the prime target for those two, you really can't remove him otherwise. Casting it on them simply means they get to reset him and you lose more life. Lotleth troll, Gravecrawler, Artist, and aristocrat can still be hit, but not being able to deal with messenger hurts a lot of decks. Rest in Peace, the perfect hate card, is now worthless.
I'm actually very, very angry about this charm. Zombies may have been manageable prior to its printing, but it's too much utility for them now.
Instant speed -1-1 is epic in my book. Enchanments are going to be big in RTR, thus enchant removal is great. Regenerating creatures is also fun against other G/B decks in response to mass attack.
I feel like i'm in an Angry Walter meme ... "Am I the only one...."
Because I think this card is pretty fantastic. It's a weenie / token sweeper at instant speed at best, and nerfs swarm attacks at worst with its first ability. Also acts as a big NOPE to wrath sweepers and stuff like Mizzium Mortars. PLUS its instant enchantment hate.
I think this card is great for Golgari and Jund, and maybe I'm missing something, but this looks like just what they needd.
