Not even a new picture? That's poor. Oh well. I guess this guy might actually be vaguely viable now, but I still somehow doubt it. The graveyard hate is probably going to be a bit more relevant than last time, at least.
sweeeeeeeet. such a great interaction with zombie infestation. zombie lord + built in gy hoser for the upcoming "gy matters" theme. i like it and i think it's a great fit for this core set!
Awwwwww Yeaaaaa I'm all for more zombies. That being said I think it's a nice inclusion in the core set again. Hopefully INN will have it's fair share of zombies too.
A signal of zombies being in Innistrad possibly, hell yeah.
Oh wait
I forgot about the flasback zombies already
Flashback zombies?
I'm glad Cemetary Reaper is back, though art by Daarken, Nils Hamm, or Igor Howeveryouspellhisname would be nice.

As much as I'm against the OTT view that this card is going to solo tournaments, cure cancer and make Susan Boyle attractive I'm not really a fan of the opposing camp who think it slaughters puppies and sired Justin Bieber.
So they're doing this because of Innistrad, I assume? Maybe red will get dwarves in the core set one year because the next set needs them or something.
Awesome! I'm totally playing my Training Grounds deck this summer.

I was pretty sure we'd get Reaper Back(or another zombie lord) instead of Captivating Vampire as soon as the mythic Bloodlord was revealed. The chances of having 2 rare/mythic lord-ish creatures of the same tribe in a core set is very low.
Reaper is a pretty nice card and the combination of a zombie heavy core set(Infestation, Pharaoh, Call to the Grave etc.) and the likelihood of some good zombies in Innistrad(Moan of the Unhallowed) makes for a potentially strong zombie deck. And the fact that Innistrad seems to be graveyard themed might just make Reapers exile ability relevant.
I'm glad Reaper's back. For one, Vampires as the main black tribe got stale very quickly, and Reaper's just a lot of fun in limited -- and he doesn't even need any of his undead brethren to fill out the deck. He's still great as the only Zombie.
We can't really prove its from INN because it comes from DotP but its assumed that any new cards appearing in there are either M12 or INN and thats not from M12.

A Zombie Lord interacts very well with Zombie Infestation
