I had to re-read this a few times to make sure this had no drawback other than ETBing tapped. A 3/2 with a strong ability and relevant creature typing is pretty unheard of at 1B, and the drawback is extremely minimal for the aggressive decks that would want this. Probably the most pushed card we've seen in this set so far, this is a very strong option for black aggro.
Wow. Not for my cube but an absolute slam dunk for cubes that support black aggro. That is amazing. 3/2 zombie for 1B without a drawback is
already strong and the upside is not half bad.
This is a good card, but it's obviously miles below Dauthi Voidwalker.
Opponents aren't going to walk into the ability, so it's not really that powerful.
Not sure this is actually better than say, a vanilla 3/2 shadow with no ability.
To be fair Dauthi Voidwalker is an absolute S tier aggro drop. A 3/2 shadow 'vanilla' would still be fully playable too.
Wight looks really strong to me, replacing itself in a trade or adding board presence in a chump block, especially in RB where you can burn-trade with it. I'm not totally keen on the ETBT tapped but it's usually irrelevant for aggro unless you have a rare haste-giver.
Not sure how I feel about this one. We're a bit past the age of 3/2 for 2 being good enough for the Cube on its own, so I am curious how the other two abilities play out plus Zombie creature type. I obviously wish it made the 2/2 when it died... I'd windmill slam it.
If so this probably beats out Nullpriest of Oblivion. Not having evasion or true recursion kind of sucks tho. I think Heir of Falkenrath is slightly better because of the evasion and ability to be a discard outlet. This is definitely not better than a 3/2 shadow with no ability. Shadow is way underrated. Not sure this is better than Dauthi Horror, and that's a 2/1.

More Gravecrawler support is very welcome too.
